Also just sent the big redesign & features PR to OhMySVG which I've been thinking about for a while. Now it actually will replace the SVGOMG web thingy for me \o/

#GNOME

This sure was one of the weekends of all time. After presenting remotely at the Qubes OS summit, went to the Flashparty, of course by bike, and decided to take the scenic route back through the coastline (ow ouch the wind resistance lmao)… came back, slept for uhhh not many hours, woke up, started dicking around on the phone scrolling flathub among other things and the @schmiddionmobile Railway app caught my attention once again and—

I just suddenly decided you know what, screw it, I'm making it useful for my area now and writing a Trenes Argentinos backend so. Uh. Several hours of good old artisanal hand coding later it kinda works!! At least it replicates the experience of the official mobile app, on (mobile) Linux.

Please don't look at the code, it brings too much shame to my country ><

#GNOME #mobilelinux #argentina

any #GNOME #accessibility testing enjoyers? Demostage will have something for you (whenever I actually release it..)

ah yes. get your burger from uhhh BURGER. with ai slop illustration of course

at #ekoparty today because I was invited to present about the #nuraeco #p2panda "free software iPhone" vision and stuff. among all the vendorslop in the main hall, this watch_dogs ass mock surveillance camera was a highlight i guess, it accidentally referenced my name even??

yessssss… hopefully by the time the full game comes out they manage to get a soundtrack at least like half as good as underground1/2!!

Ha. You can now buy USB C-to-C dongles that add the 5.1K resistors on the CC lines that the manufacturers of whatever cheap noncompliant legacy device were too ignorant/lazy/stupid/greedy to include. Amazing.

latest whatsapp "works" with ATL after some extra tinkering.. lolol

lobste.rs needs to automatically move all vibecoding links to a spinoff instance called slopste.rs

Halftone (the dithering app) makes mobile linux photos look so good. This is like the early days of mobile apps again, except built to last and without any ads

Achievement unlocked: record a video with sound and post it immediately from the street with #postmarketOS (warning, sound is loud and blown out completely heh)

If you don't know what day it is here in Argentina, please do look it up. #NuncaMás

Oh wow, it's upright in the final toot. During toot composition in Tuba it was showing up rotated xD

The camera works… the… ultrawide camera that is

#postmarketOS #mainlining #linuxmobile #mobilelinux

In preparation for daily driving #MobileLinux I've been thinking a lot about what must be done for reliable and power-efficient push notifications.

Spoiler alert: while UnifiedPush may be a relevant service for some apps, it's not where platform dev focus should be. We want a future full of p2p apps that reject permanently-addressable "servers" entirely, after all! And centralization is not where the bulk of the power-saving magic is anyway. The "magic" is in the fact that the SoC can be in deep sleep and the modem will still wake it up with an interrupt when data arrives on an open connection. It should be fine to have apps' own service processes listen for notifications!

My rough sketch of a to-do list would be:

• making sure wakeups don't turn the display on xD
• research into what's needed to set up filtering on the modem for which sockets can wake the SoC up (but initially, fine to just rely on "nothing else has open sockets anyway, only the background services waiting for pushes" maybe?)
• easy API for establishing the push connection specifically over mobile data if available (since only modem supports wakeup well rn)
• support for robust background services: unlike what the Background portal offers now, let #Flatpak apps install systemd-user services, which would have metadata connecting them to the .desktop entry, making them introspectable and accountable via settings GUIs (not via control center popups! they shouldn't show up as "annoying left-over in-process thing possibly eating battery"! they're a different thing, expected to run permanently!)
• actually getting apps to separate push notification listeners into background services

Streaming music over mobile data and playing it on the stereo speakers \o/ Mic also works now… well the top mic at least xD

#postmarketOS

Also hot take but the new #Android sideloading unlock requirements are kinda reasonable. We'd literally need to implement something like that in mobile Linux once it reaches the mass market. (Like actually mass not just a bigger niche.) Scams coercing people into installing malware is a VERY REAL PROBLEM.

Actually psychology research is much needed to properly test how software can try to break coercion like that.. I bet some dedicated scammers would try to guide their victims through the entire 24h delay. But it's probably good against random links and such

Now we're cooking!! with 144Hz 🔥️ this will be the daily driving trial run device #postmarketOS

Totally usable smartphone! (Oh wait uhhh touchscreen yeah that's a thing uhhh)

Welcome to #postmarketOS! xD

Just make sure to leave your UBWC at the door-

(FD_MESA_DEBUG=noubwc seems to be required at least on -next for a610 right now, will be fixed don't worry)

UPD oops, probably not even an issue on actual raw -next, I have the UBWC single-source-of-truth patchset applied lol

Let's gooo, got working DSI before going to sleep and officially declaring the weekend to be over :) :) :) so this is sm6115-motorola-guamp also known to normal people as the Moto G9 Play. Coming to actual upstream Linux (and U-Boot) soon!

Amazingly, just like river this one has a PMI632 (so battery % and charging do still need WIP drivers and the fuel gauge one is very funny right now). And just like on the SC7180 mini-PC, the missing MDSS reset was causing trouble again! (Except while there it was causing a visual artifact due to the EFI framebuffer still being on, here it was not letting the display show any image at all)
