Just realised, it's been a couple of weeks and I haven't run "Hugo's Random Benchmark" on this M3 MacBook Pro yet!

2.6s - not bad. Can you do better?

I had a hunch i could rival the slowest machines, the Core 2 Duo surprised me, I didn't expect it to be so fast, looking at similar machines on the leaderboard.
HP Jornada 680 (1998) 9m 12.92s
Core 2 Duo E7500 (2009) 4.042s
Core i5-8265U (2018) 2.179s
All, of course, running modern Linux ;D

I can't even begin to describe the dopamine hit I got from seeing that

None of the praise here should go to me btw, Artur Rojek did the work to make that work again ;)

I built a very normal gaming PC. Next step, maybe building the "dISAppointment" ISA dark magic to get the front panel working!

Great news for Linux on RISC-V and open source Nvidia drivers, communicating with devices over serial the easy way, emulating an old calculator, a fully open source flight combat game, a new approach to caching files on your LAN, and an RSS reader for the terminal.

@JoeRess From your conversation it seems like you might like https://codeberg.org/grisha/newsraft (remembers what you have already looked at, shortcut to copy the article link, easy to have shortcuts that open the link with whatever you want, presumably you could even make a shortcut that throws the link straight into the showdoc)

PS: mpv can still render to a terminal with "--vo=tct" "--vo=caca" or "--vo=sixel" if enabled, and supported by your terminal.

@linmob since you mentioned the work on Kai-OS phones, did affenull give a talk, or did you just meet them at the conference ?

socksinspace,
@socksinspace@sueden.social avatar

@linmob ah well, seems like i'm out of luck then, but good that there still is progress on that front :)

socksinspace,
@socksinspace@sueden.social avatar

@agx @linmob @affe_null ohhh, that's much further along than i would've thought from just looking at the posmarketOS wiki device page occasionally, it's nice to see that phoc can serve such a different use case well.

@ActionRetro looks about on par with what Nokia puts in their current feature phones :D , besides the lens, that actually looks unreasonably nice, i expected something that looks like a laptop webcam lens

Gaze upon my new smartphone! Well, making phone calls is a bit tricky, but isn’t that usually so with smartphones?

@root42 to be fair, people rarely make phone calls with their smartphones anyway :P

Is it the responsibility of the person putting their own washing in the basket to check for items in their pockets or the person who puts the items in the machine?

socksinspace,
@socksinspace@sueden.social avatar

@popey the person filling the machine is the last line of defense, and stuff shouldn't reach the last line of defense in normal operation, therefore the owner of the clothes should check their own pockets.

In case you were wondering about threads, the timeline is full of shit I don’t follow and it isn’t chronological. So it’s just Facebook made to look like twitter.

Screenshot of threads with loads posts I don’t follow including the archbishop of banterbury

I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

@jerry it really is tragic, all these people quitting and taking up our resources 😢 😉

Once more for those at the back, because a lot of people seem kinda slow on the uptake. This is the sort of boat that Iberian orcas attack:
