etnaviv is now OpenGL ES 3.0 conformant.

etnaviv is the open source graphics driver for Vivante GPUs found in most NXP i.MX chips. Both i.MX8M Plus and i.MX8M Quad passed +235,000 tests needed to be OpenGL 3.0 confomant.

We've built a new app called **Telephony**. It replaces three separate apps - Calling, Messaging, and Contacts with a single, user-friendly interface, plus many new features and bug fixes.

Greyscale city today, but hoping for a positive result.

In #Munich, you might see this weird machine, making weird vibration and sound sweeps. This is part of the Giga-M project. Its goal is to create a 3D map of the underground that will be made available as #OpenData to assist in planning geothermic plants. Switching away from fossil fuel for heating. Impressive!

1️⃣️2️⃣️3️⃣️4️⃣️. By popular demand Phosh can now automatically submit the unlock PIN, so you can skip the submit button. The length is stored in systemd-homed's user record and can be updated it via phosh-pin-tool until the GUI for PIN changing is in place.  You can use the on-screen keyboard to unlock with arbitrary length should that ever get out of sync.

If you want to help with the remaining GUI bits let us know.

The initial phrog unlock after boot doesn't know about this yet so remember to hit submit there 🙃️.

I've had a copyright claim submitted over a few small Tesla clips in my latest video while talking about some of the sweet Roadster thruster footage. Obviously all fair use. How is it fair @youtubecreators that a baseless claim like this can be made by a company that has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla? All monetisation removed again for up to 30 days including shopping and I just need to take it until my dispute expires. Add to that I need to tick boxes in my dispute submission agreeing that
"I understand that filing fraudulent disputes may result in termination of my YouTube channel."

For creators this stuff scares them into being bullied into having their earnings taken away. It only needs a 2 second glance to see that the claim itself is fraudulent, so such claims should never make their way to a creator in the first place.

All the power is with the claimant, almost nothing with the creator. 🥺

AMD Working On Ryzen Overclocking Driver For Linux

AMD recently published patches for the Linux kernel to implement AOD, an AMD Overclocking driver for Ryzen processors. Linux enthusiasts have long sought an official AMD Ryzen CPU overclocking driver for Linux akin to Ryzen Master on Windows and it's finally coming, at least from the kernel driver perspective...

❗️The Hill reports 23 US House members, 16 Democrats and 7 Republicans, signed a bipartisan letter urging Trump to push Elon Musk to let Ukraine use Starlink to hunt Russian missile launchers inside Russia. Rep. Joe Wilson said Ukraine must be able to defend itself. #Ukraine

one example of the things that makes "open source" software as democratizing a total myth: compiling firefox (librewolf in my case) takes 100% of my 16 cpu cores and 16-20gb of ram, and it still takes a long long time. that is not accessible to most people.

Behind the scenes, the last 2-3 months were intense. 😮‍💨

Lots of reverse engineering against the Vivante blob, and long conformance runs on several boards - i.MX8MQ, i.MX8MP and i.MX8QM, three quite different GPUs. Chasing GPU hangs for weeks, re-running suites overnight, going back to the blob again and again.

Exhausting, but it's exactly how these milestones happen.

Good to see that Edward Snowden's work is also mentioned in the House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany.
