@evan @_followback Looks like the bot doesn't want to follow me back. I show up in "Followers" tab on its webpage, but it displays a wrong handle domain - maybe it has troubles with split-domain instances?

The first step forward 👀

@mjdxp @lkundrak Except when it doesn't. Try talking about mobile stuff, you'll get both "ackchyually Alpine isn't GNU" and "but Android is Linux!!1" jerks in your replies. Since Alpine is very much modeled like GNU, and Android is very much not, in my experience it's much clearer to default to "GNU/Linux" as a term to refer to the OS even if not strictly technically correct in all instances. I prefer to be communicative rather than pedantic 😜

@cwebber @dpk Courts operate not just on the license's letter, but also its spirit, so taking over FSF to publish a permissive GPLv4 wouldn't necessarily be as effective as it may seem at first glance - even if it would still cause plenty of chaos. In contrast, the spirit of this joke license is pretty much "an overly complex way to say it's MIT-0/0BSD" - that is, unless a court decides otherwise, judging from the whole context around a particular case and particular people involved ;)

@dpk @cwebber There's no need for any takeover, there are licenses on these lists that let you freely relicense to anything you want already.

Many years ago I spent some time playing with running a graphical interface from chrooted Debian userspace on a jailbroken 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite. I posted a video that showed it and called it "Debian on Kindle Paperwhite". Some tech media had then picked it up and reported on Debian running on Kindle.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault. All those people calling Halium devices "real Linux phones" are just my karma coming back 😭 #mobilelinux

Seems @postmarketOS is now successful enough for some people to think it was the first community-run GNU-like/Linux distro for phones.

Let me remind you that SHR would turn 17yo this year, and it wasn't even the first one. I bet some #postmarketOS contributors are younger than that 😄

@aeva You don't, it's meant to have some non-trivial latency (and half of it likely comes from the client anyway).

If you *really* need low latency I'd rather use something like Jamulus instead, but that's harder to tune in and scales poorly with number of clients (its sub-50ms latencies make it possible to jam with people online though, which is fun).

@dragonarchitect @joepie91 Sorry, but when you choose to spend your personal resources on contributing to the commons, you're free to do it on your own terms and to tell people who want to see it done differently to do it themselves. You don't owe anyone anything. The worst that could happen is that your project will suffer due to your choices, but so be it. Your poor designs and missing features don't need addressing unless you feel like it, and if others disagree they can fork indeed.

Does anyone happen to know whether the old data of #identica users that weren't migrated over when it switched from #StatusNet to #pumpio has been archived anywhere? I see a mention that there was a plan to upload it to @internetarchive, but can't find anything more than that. #fediverse #ostatus

@maryjane Pinging @evan then, thanks!

Do you happen to remember whether the old profiles of StatusNet-based identi.ca users got archived anywhere?

@rozie @rysiek @mawhrin @wariat @m0bi @bobiko O, klikam w link w poście, a on prowadzi do mnie 😂 Masto co prawda niezbyt się nadaje do jednoosobowych instancji, ale to nadal rzędy wielkości mniej zachodu niż byłoby przy bluskajowych relayach. Sęk w tym, że do ActivityPub mamy do takich rzeczy lepsze narzędzia, a w ATproto problemem jest sama struktura sieci.

Had an unannounced guest in our yard. #birdsofmastodon

@ptrc instructions unclear

Purism has released the Librem 5's mechanical design, adding to already available schematics and PCB layouts.

I think that may make it the first proper Open Hardware smartphone out there.

#purism #librem5 #linuxmobile #linuxsmartphones #openhardware #oshw #cad

It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.

BTW. There's a sale right now and the phone is available for $599: https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

POV: a few years ago you uploaded a bunch of games into Google Play that:
- are fully Free Software
- don't gather any user data
- are fully local, no ads
- are complete and finished
- don't really need updating.

One of the games was removed because of "missing privacy policy". Others - I don't even know, they didn't bother to tell me 😜 Seems like the idea that some apps may simply respect the user and not exist to mine for data is unfathomable to Google.
