Yeah!! Thanks everyone for helping me out! ❤️

I just placed an order for a new (used) system, should have it in about a week, then the fun begins 😁

You should be able to use the apps and app stores that you trust without any gate keeping from your operating system. That’s a big part of why we chose to build our app store on @FlatpakApps

Core postmarketOS contributor Clayton is crowdfunding a new laptop for @postmarketOS development. He's raised over 50%, let's get it all the way! This is an excellent way to support the advancement of Mobile Linux. @craftyguy @linmob #linux #mobilelinux #postmarketos

New financed postmarketOS project: wireplumber and callaudiod https://lemmy.ml/post/34820962

I've never believed in work, and no attempt to engage in it seems to make the world or my life any better. I'm done. I quit.

"No one should ever work.

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working."

Thanks to all the amazing people that have donated to postmarketOS, we were able to pay @flamingradian to make call audio more reliable in Linux Mobile: by replacing callaudiod with a wireplumber plugin! 🤙

Shout out to @mobian's @awai as well as pipewire folks for consulting on how to get this done technically and to @pabloyoyoista for mentoring this project!

"This is the technology worth developing"

Paraphrasing @yabellini's closing statement:

The #RStats community is a great example of a technology that:
- helps people and not exploits them
- is at the service of the people using science

This powerful talk shows how truly valuable and necessary our community of practices are. If you are part of @rOpenSci, @DSLC, @thecarpentries, etc, this talk will fill you with joy.

If you have not yet joined one of these communities, take a look! We can all become stronger in our practice together!

To elaborate on my hostility against WebKit: WebKit does nothing but get in my way whenever I work on literally any website.

When I rewrote nouveau's website in late 2023, the website worked perfectly fine on Firefox (Gecko) and Chromium (Blink), but was broken on Epiphany/Safari (WebKit). The logo, which is an SVG, would not adapt to dark style, because, to this day, WebKit still does not support prefers-color-scheme in SVGs. So, as a workaround, instead of having one SVG file for both color schemes, we have one SVG file for light style, and one for dark style.

Another example: On my website, some elements are intentionally made to be unselectable using user-select: none;, such as the command-line decoration and the “Table of Contents” text, but on WebKit, these elements are still selectable because WebKit still does not properly support the user-select property. And no, using the vendor prefix is completely unacceptable, especially considering that it behaves differently.

Lastly, WebKit does not yet fully support the ::marker pseudo-element. This means, in my articles, the numbered list items in the table of contents are completely wrong and don't follow the same numbers as headings.

I just want to clarify that my hostility towards WebKit is purely targeted at Apple's lack of involvement with WebKit, not the browsers using it. Apple has consistently shown that they don't care about WebKit, because otherwise browsers like Safari and Epiphany would have worked as well as they do on Firefox and Chromium. There's absolutely no reason to force WebKit onto iOS and iPadOS if they're not even willing to invest in WebKit. Likewise, Apple employees working on WebKit should really stop calling themselves a “WebKit evangelist”. So yes, this is 100% on Apple.

This feels super awkward to ask, but I'm trying to crowdfund a used M2 MacBook for #postmarketOS development. My current ARM laptop can't safely run VMs (have to choose between virtualization or battery monitoring 😅). Daily-driving new hardware has helped me improve other ports (e.g. ThinkPad X13s), so this would help me work more efficiently and advance the M-series port in pmOS!
