@pa @martijnbraam I've seen half-hour from some systems for email codes
It was popular career advice for the last generation or so, to advise kids “do what you love”. It’s well-meaning, but the older I get the less I think it's good advice. It sets people up to seek happiness and fulfillment primarily in their careers, which for many, may not set you up for success *or* happiness.
I lean toward "do what you are good at" that can pay the bills, and then seek happiness and fulfillment outside of work, where you are more likely to find it.
postmarketOS gave me a one month BAN! What have I done?
@okias I wonder why they would mention 1 & 2, because they seem outside the 'scope' of their CoC.. do they equate your communications with 'private harassment'?
@fakeshell @tzafrir @furilabs What does 'welcomed' mean here?
From a technical perspective, I can see why there would be hurdles (halium, downstream 4.19 kernel). Personally I'm interested in your project, but am led to believe it requires hacks to run phosh (meaning I couldn't run my pet project on your hardware without a lot of work).
I'd rather put my money into a project with mainline momentum/potential, otherwise refurbished androids still win on features/price.
@pocketvj Loupe, but I hit the end key on my keyboard (wvkbd specialpad layer)
@martijnbraam next time grab a random android phone and #scrcpy
@jameschip tangara uses full-sized SD cards... which would be a lot 'cheaper' to replace than a custom-made tape... but the drawback is that your kid will be wearing headphones so you won't be able to listen along with them.
@BrodieOnLinux Woah, Content Warning this stuff next time.
@BrodieOnLinux It would be cool to see Hyprland on this thing... I think someone would "just" need to hack aquamarine to support Furi's graphics stack... hopefully not too many problems from the 4.19 vendor kernel.
@martijnbraam "Just" add a --repositories=bodge-repositories.txt flag to pmbootstrap 😛
@JoshuaACNewman @mntmn I have the mid-2015. Soldered-in 16Gigs of RAM, Retina display [turned me into a Wayland early-adopter], I swapped the SSD "recently". I've never had modern battery life; still have the stock battery and multiple magsafe 2 chargers around the house.
@JoshuaACNewman @mntmn I'm looking forward to getting mine too. While my current laptop has been running well for 10 years, the lack of USB-C, the need for proprietary webcam firmware, and a dodgy wireless driver are my biggest gripes. Thankfully Reform Next has a webcam and modular port boards, so I should be good for another 10+ years.
@_raygervais @thelinuxEXP What are you curious to learn?
@pwaring There's no such thing as a benevolent dictator? What do you call it when a project has a single maintainer?
@vkc I always forget the name of column, (as well as comm), though I never forget the name of fold; those three commands are among my least used unix utils.
PSA: I'm stepping down from putting together an STF application for 2025.
Reflecting on our experiences with the STF project last year, I no longer think the GNOME Foundation is a good venue to organize development collectively. Even if the Foundation's current issues are fixed, we've seen how risky it is to centralize development in a single structure.
My hope is that we'll learn from this and find more sustainable, decentralized ways of organizing going forward.

@fogti @BrodieOnLinux @maze they could add DRM and telemetry to gaming controllers to make sure a human is always the one controlling the inputs.
@ollieparanoid In terms of metrics, the wiki tracks users owning the device, showing 95 PinePhones and 104 OnePlus 6/T's
@jameschip Estate/death taxes are crazy, but is it true that this lady about two years ago used a loophole to get around the tax and give 100% of her estate including multiple castles to her 73-year-old son?
Just your average linux user (above-average computer-person) with fullstack web dev experience.
