#postmarketOS is now shipping #systemd built from unpatched upstream source code, thanks to all the amazing folks involved with adding #musl libc support 😁

@QuadRadical @justsoup

No, we talked about it a few times in the past but never did it. I'm looking at doing it now...

A few folks have asked me why I decided nearly 2 years ago to leave a great job to work on pmOS full-time for little pay, etc, so I wrote some words about my experience and perspective on the whole matter: https://blog.craftyguy.net/why-i-quit/

It was a scary decision, but I still feel like I made the right choice. I hope me sharing this is useful for folks in a similar position :D

Come visit @anjan and me at the #postmarketOS table at @FOSSY today through Sunday, it'll be fun 🥳

#FOSSY2025 #pdx

I'll be talking about #postmarketOS at the next Portland Linux/Unix Group (PLUG) meeting on Thursday April 3rd, come on down if you're in the area 😁

@maize why do you store audio in .wav format? (I'm geniunely curious)

@tek thank you sooo much for keeping the instance going! 😁

@bart @BUF0 @linmob @awai yeah too bad they chose to roll their own OS... that rarely works out well long term for OEMs 🤷♂️

Don't quiet quit #fosdem because they decided to platform a sleezy billionaire tech bro.

Show up and let them know you're disappointed 🥳

@ieure it's not designed to make consumer experience easier, it's designed to make market capture easier.

@fossdd @ncopa debian seems to have backported the fixes on bookworm for 3.2.7:

@ncopa @fossdd lol... wow, what a mess.

@KekunPlazas I don't care, as long as it's consistent in a project and it's done automatically for me (e.g. editorconfig)

@tek reminds me of the Nobel Peace Prize, or Time person of the year 🙄

Booted up a device I am testing systemd on pmOS and saw the date was Dec 31, and immediately thought "damn why is systemd-timedated broken now?!"

No, Clayton, it's actually the date today 😅

It's dumb how people still want to rely on proprietary tools from for-profit companies to do #foss development and support.

@Tutanota some of those are based on chromium, and that's part of the problem

@vavakado but because a billionaire tech bro made it, it'll be a lot more popular and receive funding from others 🙃

@tek me too! friggen love the stuff...

@tek interesting. I spent some time yesterday setting up #caddyserver and the AI thing I tried to use to help me was mostly just feeding me garbage config that doesn't pass validation. I was able to learn enough from what it was trying to "say" to get unstuck, but it was far off from being able to generate a working config for caddy 😅
