Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”
Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.
I'm thrilled to announce that #OpenCL support for #Qualcomm Adreno 600 and later landed and will be available in upcoming #Mesa3D 24.3! 🎉 I really enjoyed being part of this effort and work on it with Dmitry, @karolherbst, and @robclark https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/30835

I didn't take enough photos of interesting things being presented today but Ubuntu phone and #UBports has a special place in my heart. I was involved in the phone project and, together with the canonical certification team, shipped a complex testing app on this platform. It is amazing to see it alive and kicking in 2024 at the #UbuntuSummit.

@longnoserob and I organized a postmarketOS booth at Open Source Conference 2024 Tokyo/Fall (in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan) today!
There were more than 40 persons visited to our booth. Many of them were so surprised when they had understood the fact that very recent MATE and Linux kernel work on a 12-years-old Arm device with proper touchscreen and rotation supports!
its official! i managed to port the current version of the #fluffychat matrix client back to aarch64 as flatpak.
the embarassing part is that I didnt get it to work due to #postmarketOS funny update mechanic which breaks apps at times. lmk if you want to test it. :)
