PureTryOut,

Nice, we don’t encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

PureTryOut,

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense 😉

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

PureTryOut,

If you use the barebones one, then you’re actually using Arch 😉

Awesome!

PureTryOut,

Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It's back up now.

PureTryOut,

You live in a climate that's not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it's nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

PureTryOut,

Uh reading your third link, no they are not reluctant to discuss it. That whole discussion sadly was about how the original "proposal" was framed, and I have to agree with that person that it wasn't "proposed" but more stated as a demand.

PureTryOut,

We also hope to migrate development to Gitea once federation is implemented.

That is awesome to hear! Lemmy federating with the code forge it's hosted on sounds awesome!

PureTryOut,

I get that but it still sounds awesome 😉 Of course Gitea federating with other Gitea (or Forgejo) instances would be awesome and make it a right candidate to host another fediverse project.

PureTryOut,

Without telling us what distro you're using, nobody can help you. Also social media is not the right place to post it, report it to your distribution instead.

PureTryOut,

Like the others said, no. To explain in a bit more detail:

Ubuntu Touch uses something what's known as "Halium", which internally uses "libhybris". This puts Android's proprietary userland drivers in a container to allow them to run as is and provide hardware support.

postmarketOS however doesn't use any existing drivers, proprietary or not, from Android. Instead we rely on upstreamed and FOSS drivers in the kernel, Mesa, etc. This is more maintainable in the long run but way more work in the short run. So no, Ubuntu Touch supporting something doesn't help us.

PureTryOut,

First of all the command you would need is pmbootstrap build samsung-a12 --src=<whatever>. Secondly instead of "samsung-a12" you should put the name of the package there. I'm assuming the package you're making isn't called that, and if it was you should rename it as it should be device-samsung-a12 instead.

pmbootstrap is complaining that it can't find the package, as you didn't indicate the right package name. And if it did find the package it wouldn't know what to do with it as you didn't tell pmbootstrap what to actually do (e.g. "build").

But if you want help it's better joining our Matrix channels, in your case specifically :postmarketos.org.

A bunch of improvements landing for Firefox on Linux smartphones (floss.social)

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

PureTryOut,

Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don't have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it'll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

PureTryOut,

Huh, so this is like 2009scape.org but for 2006? Interesting, I wonder which project is further along. I personally prefer the 2009 era at least so I don't think I'll play this.

PureTryOut,

How’s this related to the original game? As in licensing issues?

Idk about 2006scape, but I can tell about 2009scape.org. The server is fully FOSS and AGPL-3.0 licensed. No code from the original game is present, it's all rebuild.

The client is different and a bit more difficult, there is a project that's decompiling and deobfuscating the original client from around that time. It's not FOSS because it can't be, it's not their code to relicense, they don't own it. However it existing makes it possible for an alternative fully FOSS client to be created, as the internal workings of the original client is then known and documentation can be written about it. That way the new client developers can develop the new client without having to look at the original code, they just have to look at the documentation written based on that original code.

An alternative client like that hasn't been developer so far though sadly, I believe the community is more focused currently on the server-side and deobfuscating the original client.

PureTryOut,

Huh I actually like the GE, way better than spam chatting in a city square somewhere 🤷

PureTryOut,

That I really don't care about haha. I've never been a rich player anyway, probably why I liked the GE 🙈

PureTryOut,

I believe just as viable as a Raspberry Pi, but not much more.

PureTryOut,

Does that include all the pictures on there?

It can't. 60 million odd articles with pictures only taking 20GB? I doubt it. Just the text taking up so few space that I can believe.

PureTryOut,

Newpipe or even better, LibreTube, for even more privacy (and included sponsorblock!).

PureTryOut,

Is Lemmy made with horizontal scaling (a.k.a. launching more instances and have a load balancer proxy the requests to the various instances) in mind? It could help larger instances like lemmy.ml managing the load better rather than just putting it on a beefier machine.

PureTryOut,

But tons of libraries used out there are not in those runtimes, and this scenario still applies to them.

PureTryOut,

Btw we have a community on Lemmy as well! https://lemmy.ml/c/postmarketos

PureTryOut,

Pfoe, dat mag wel echt makkelijker gemaakt worden zeg. Ik zie ook via feddit.nl dat deze post best wel wat comments heeft maar vanaf lemmy.ml is dat niet te zien. Bij Mastodon is het ook zo dat als je server voor het eerst een post ziet het niet de reacties kan laten zien maar dat vind ik persoonlijk wel echt een flink nadeel.

PureTryOut,

Huh
