Just got this little thing in the mail 😀️ (courtesy of the @risc_v DevBoard Program).

I guess I have some more upstreaming work ahead 😉️ :linux: :riscv:

So I have now published the source code to "Birdies", my latest pet project: a digital scorecard for your games, written in and relying on to make it perfectly usable on devices ⛳️🏌️

It's in a very early stage (it doesn't even have an app icon yet!), but it builds and run fine: https://gitlab.gnome.org/a-wai/birdies

And as a bonus, here's a screenshot of Birdies used for an actual game (yes, there's room for progress on the golf skills as well ☺️ )

Being more of a "low-level software" person, getting used to the concepts underlying GUI apps can be a struggle... But after a few days playing (fighting?) with -rs, widgets and other "weird" stuff, I finally have a kinda-usable app prototype for my new hobby 😁️🏌️⛳️

@postmarketOS I had to check the date, but no, it's not yet April 1st ;)

Congrats on all the hard work this surely required, and welcome to the ball!

Doing some evening hacking, bringing up the @PINE64 with upstream Linux (6.8-rc3) with only a new DTS and no additional patch!

So far it boots with working console output and eMMC/µSD, but that's about it...

@fosdem starts in about 9 hours now, so before I go to bed, I have to remind you all that starting 10:30, the "FOSS on Mobile Devices" devroom will welcome you and host an impressive number of quality talks about .

I'll even present myself, sharing some updates about @mobian at 17:30: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3290-towards-a-bright-future-with-mobian-/

hasn't even started and we're already debugging random modem issues on a square in Brussels. This is going to be a good weekend!

The Call for Papers for the "FOSS on Mobile Devices" devroom at @fosdem runs until the end of this week! Now is definitely the time to submit your talk proposals at https://fosdem.org/submit 😉️

Don't be shy, all free/open-source projects related to smartphones and tablets are welcome!

In for the @debian MiniDebConf!

The talk schedule is at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/gb/2023/MiniDebConfCambridge#Schedule and a live stream is available at https://onsite.live.debconf.org/player.html

I'll be discussing @mobian and how we can improve itself for at 11:30 UTC

Interestingly, a significant chunk of https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/so-you-want-make-raspberry-pi-killer applies to the "market", especially the section about software support.
Actually, you could replace with in this section and it would still make a lot of sense! Kudos to @purism engineers for that 😉️

Since https://fosstodon.org/@linmob/111437486318142093 is not entirely unpopular: If you are wondering if I recommend this setup: I'm torn. Two batteries make the PinePhone Pro more useful, and getting once one gets used to the keyboard, it's nice to type on.
If you have a PinePhone Pro that's sitting in a drawer, go for it - if not, there are lots of micro laptops out there that may be better by having things like a backlit keyboard, a pointing device, or a slightly bigger, not 2:1 screen.

@martijnbraam @linmob I thought the same, until I saw the price: 510€ with the SoM included + 130€ for shipping to EU... 😐️

awai,
@awai@fosstodon.org avatar

@martijnbraam @linmob well look at the topton L4: not upgradable, but the same exact case, Intel-based and... half the price + free shipping!

Ce week-end, c'est @capitoledulibre !
J'y parlerai de l'utilisation de Debian dans les systèmes embarqués (et donc un petit peu de @mobian bien sur 😉️), et il y aura plein d'autres confs intéressantes !

Does anyone else have too much fun naming their devices?

The home speaker thing (aka "speaker of the house") is named "Nancy"

The bluetooth headset I use for remote meetings is "Can you hear me now"

My laptop is "lappy" (ok, wasn't creative with that one 😅)

IoT-only wifi network with "smart" things is "skynet"

I'm sure there are far better ones than these, please share!

awai,
@awai@fosstodon.org avatar

@craftyguy I'm afraid I'm being way too serious: my main workstation is "skynet", the home/file server is "jarvis", and the mini-PC acting as set-top box is "wall-e", etc...

agx, (edited ) to linuxphones

After lots of cleanup over the past releases I'm inclined to switch 's main branch to track git rather than the latest stable version as I can then catch up with new wlroots features faster. Stable releases would then be cut from a wlroots-0.xy branch tracking the stable wlroots version. Good idea?

@awai@fosstodon.org avatar

@agx Whatever makes development easier/the smoothest is likely the best option

EN: a peek at the craft beer festival taking place this week in 😀️

@poVoq @Shatur The PBP doesn't include a modem (so no LTE antennas), has only 1 (cheap) camera, bigger display/form factor, no touchscreen, smaller eMMC, cheaper audio codec...

Also, the PPP's display is way better (and therefore costly) in both contrast and color-correctness to the OG PP one.

Comparing the PPP & PBP prices based only on the fact they use the same SoC really doesn't make any sense unless you look at all the differences, and even then, it's dubious...

Huh, apparently it's wordclock, not worldclock. I've misread that my entire life...

awai,
@awai@fosstodon.org avatar

@martijnbraam I'm pretty sure this happened to every single person having dealt with digital pro audio gear... And most of those probably still believe it's worldclock 😉

i think the linux kernel might be missing some sort of way to declare the sequencing of drivers in terms of temporal interdependency. this is the second time i encounter where the module load order matters. the first time was with external bridges and internal display engines on imx8m

@mntmn Isn't that what fw_devlink is meant for? (unless I completely misunderstood the whole thing, which is definitely possble)

Ce dimanche 01/10, je serai avec Toulibre à la médiathèque José Cabanis de pour présenter et parler de @mobian et en général 😃

Le programme : https://www.bibliotheque.toulouse.fr/wp-content/extra-bib/Apres-midi-du-libre-1_10_2023.pdf

En espérant vous y voir nombreux !

Linux-first, Coreboot, EDK II... Looks like we'll soon have another lovely tablet and a perfect target for @mobian !

I would love to see an LTE modem integrated in such a device though, so I could finally get rid of my SGo 2
