just realised cowboy bebop predicted the fucking columbia disaster ~4 years before it happened the columbia shuttle is featured in episode 17 and one character comments about how all the heat shielding tiles fell off (thankfully they all survive though)

[meta] glad too see fedi is increasingly becoming the hellsite twitter used to be lol maybe i should try to be a bit less volatile with my hot takes?

the year is 2060, you wake up and check your phone just to see a targeted ad taunting you with the password your used on your Ubuntu Thinkpad back in 2017. After persona "partnered" with Ubuntu in the late 20's they immediately shipped an update to every channel including archived LTS releases […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/116259760911455850 so real 😭😭

people on reddit are doing a whole lot of yapping about age verification in Linux I would generally agree that the whole approach of these laws is total dogshit and clearly a wedge issue to enable stricter surveillance laws in the future at the same time though, the actual implementation and […]

New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made. :blobcatthink: > Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No […]

whoa be careful of drop bears out there if you're visiting australia, my girlfriend lives there and said she almost had her eyes clawed out by one. crazy country

me after rambling a bunch over dinner: "but i digest"

so yeah, I would say that this is most likely satire

hmm, drm/msm seems to support doing rotation in hardware, qcom marketing material advertises "true inline rotation", but only sc7280 has the flag set in the hardware catalog?? it seems to be "just" a bit in some SSPP register, plus presumably some tweaks to the fetch config?? i'm curious to […]

huh... AI is junk food

It's not much but if everyone would chip-in it would go a long way for @postmarketOS #postmarketos 💪 (Also, would be brilliant if the @EUCommission #eu decided to properly fund it to have proper alternative to even so more closed #android )

i've been pretty quiet regarding work stuff lately, but finally have something to share! here we have Qualcomm display drivers up and running, demo'd on the Ayaneo Pocket S2, but it also works on the SM8650 HDK. This isn't relying on an existing […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good! here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening: * you don't need a bouncer (friggin _finally_). there are moblie clients that work well * you can see backlog when joining a channel * you can browse chat […]

soo where's the foss federated discord alternative at? spacebar and stoat seem to still be a ways out, having something API compatible (spacebar) that makes it easy to port over bots and use existing clients sounds extremely promising (mobile apps maybe a lil harder but still very achievable) […]

phew, @verdre and I just finally got Jolla Android appsupport up with Android 13 on #postmarketOS after a few too many late nights still suuuuper broken but hopefully we'll soon get back to the state we were in with Android 11 last year. Maybe we'll […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

TURN on my STUN till i DERP

when i was a kid, Android hacking was wild, i made my phone look goofy as fuck, overclocked it to the point of instability, patched games to unlock all the items, hell once I even got a Debian container to run with X11 forwarding.... I jailbroke my […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

If you're around #Berlin this weekend and wanna meet up with various like-minded Linux ecosystem folks, @modal#berlin's Boiling The Ocean mini-conf is taking place again! The main theme is localfirst development, but topics will be finalised at the meeting on Friday Evening. All the info can be found […]

OH: "so i have not seen yet... `ls` returning 'bad message'"

Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation. We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketos so that it can continue to scale up and be a […]

pmos podcast recording has more meows and woofs than usual :3

After I said bye to everyone night one, I left to head back to the Boiling the Ocean flavored AirBnB (what a sentence) and got to talk @cas and @tbernard and crew about some of the happenings in the @postmarketOS and @gnome worlds.

*arguing back and forth in german* @somsnosa (suddenly in english) "next you'll tell me crazy frog wasn't a real musician"

the glibc behavior is the only one that really makes sense anyway

im a simp for good maintainers :blobfox3c:

Not what I expected from Technology Connections, but sounds about right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9nt2ZeGM

The non-AOSP #linuxmobile section of the FOSS on Mobile devroom at #fosdem2026 is starting in an impressive way! Skyler's talk on Collabora Office was impressive and Luca has good news to share about Fairphones running mainline! Go watch the stream: https://live.fosdem.org/watch/ub4132

Found a wild @liaizon

what's the deal with HarmonyOS phones? @liaizon was asking about it and they make a good point, have they actually replaced the android kernel on their phones?

question for unix enthusiasts so i open a socket in C, then fork and exec a shell script and tell it the fd, then from the script i try to printf to the socket buuut it doesn't seem to work, do i need to proxy everything to use send()? i guess write() and send() work differently?

me trying to understand linux display internals: "huh why does the display panel mode timing struct have a 'hskew' property?" The doc-comment in the kernel:

USB gadget mode on qualcomm laptops basically just works (only gotta change `dr_mode = "host"` to `dr_mode = "otg"` in the DT, will submit a patch now) \o/ absolutely no cursed hacks required dmesg looks fun, as soon as you plug in a C-to-A cable […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

i don't think it has much to do with how the project is ran (I can think of sample pairs of projects that are ran in a similar manner where one succumbs to this problem and another doesn't). I do think it has a lot to do with culture and how accepted it is that "I have suffered through this, so […]

watching king of the hill and this episode is about a renaissance fair. frickin alan rickman plays King Phillip and is a raging misogynist, obviously he does an english accent for the whole thing but at the end "breaks chatacter" and his american accent is fucking hilarious

I've spent the last 3 years explicitly avoiding talking about GrapheneOS or Daniel Micay online because I assumed good faith after last time when he said my behavior (dunking on him on twitter) was deeply distressing to him. I'm breaking my vow of silence cuz I'm feeling kinda gaslit right now […]

Coldbrew (formerly "iced") has been added to the Alpine package repos by @fossdd and will now be included in #postmarketos duranium immutable images, allowing you to install and use anything from the Alpine package repos without modifying your real rootfs! It works on regular Alpine installs […]
