"The Art and Secrets of #Karambola" - a digital 92-page #artbook heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!

Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

The recording of my #FOSDEM talk - a dive into a bug in USB 2.0 and the problem of spontaneous modem resets that used to be experienced on the #Librem5 is now available to watch: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3200-universal-serial-bug-a-tale-of-spontaneous-modem-resets/ #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #usb #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #fossonmobile #mobile #linux

The newest game I've been working on, ODGŁOS, is finally available to play! A cute owl, the history of electronic music, shapeshifting snakes and intergalactic journeys inside the Polish Radio Experimental Studio - all in a stop-motion interactive story :) You'll need a browser, headphones and 30 minutes to spare. Have fun!

#Introduction time!
My name is dos; some call me Sebastian. I made dozens of small silly video #games and some slightly less small ones too. I'm one half of @holypangolin studio. Sometimes I pretend to be a musician, but don't get fooled. I'm also a living encyclopedia on a Polish rock band "Perfect". Trams are cooler than trains. The more caramel, the better. I've been using GNU/#Linux on #mobile phones for ages, which led me to work with @purism on the Librem 5. btw I use Arch, but I ❤️ Debian!

#Linux 7.3 is out. The #Librem5 tree is in a good shape already - it will likely show up in #PureOS soon and be made the default once its LTS status is confirmed.

In case you couldn't tell I wrote it to be tongue-in-cheek, however, looking back at it it's actually surprisingly accurate! I've been used to daily driving GNU/Linux phones for half my life and I've never really seen Android/iOS as a viable alternative. Sure, some things they do better, but they're not the ones I really care about. My short time when I carried an Android device around because N900 was getting too old to handle the Web well was quite frustrating; I was glad it ended soon enough!

I tried - I had carried an Android device as my secondary phone for some 2-3 years in the past, and I have had an iPhone sitting in my drawer for years, and I can see that they’re just not up to the task. Simple things remain utterly confusing or even impossible to achieve with these devices, and they seem unable to provide even the basic feeling of control that you would expect over a device you’re supposed to own. Maybe their third decade of existence will bring the much needed improvement!

I wonder: will Android or iOS ever become a viable alternative to Linux phones?

Apple started quick and announced the iPhone just a few months after a GNU/Linux smartphone. Google took a bit longer with Android - but now they both had nearly 20 years, and yet they're still nowhere close to being able to replace GNU/Linux phones. Will they ever up their game and finally create a device worth switching to? I have my doubts, but we’ll see.

Lately I've been closely following that work and I can confirm what @austriancoder just showed at XDC: GLES3 on etnaviv is finally there :) Huge thanks to everyone involved!
