"The Art and Secrets of #Karambola" - a digital 92-page #artbook heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!
Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

The recording of my #FOSDEM talk - a dive into a bug in USB 2.0 and the problem of spontaneous modem resets that used to be experienced on the #Librem5 is now available to watch: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3200-universal-serial-bug-a-tale-of-spontaneous-modem-resets/ #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #usb #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #fossonmobile #mobile #linux
The newest game I've been working on, ODGŁOS, is finally available to play! A cute owl, the history of electronic music, shapeshifting snakes and intergalactic journeys inside the Polish Radio Experimental Studio - all in a stop-motion interactive story :) You'll need a browser, headphones and 30 minutes to spare. Have fun!

#Introduction time!
My name is dos; some call me Sebastian. I made dozens of small silly video #games and some slightly less small ones too. I'm one half of @holypangolin studio. Sometimes I pretend to be a musician, but don't get fooled. I'm also a living encyclopedia on a Polish rock band "Perfect". Trams are cooler than trains. The more caramel, the better. I've been using GNU/#Linux on #mobile phones for ages, which led me to work with @purism on the Librem 5. btw I use Arch, but I ❤️ Debian!
So this was already fixed in a later version, but cherry-picking the fix back to 257 isn't trivial, ending up with huge conflicts as the patch refactors some stuff that were also touched by earlier commits that fix eight issues at once, co-developed by Claude 🤮 So I just rewrote the fix myself in three lines of code...
Both Librem 5 and Steam Deck aren't the cheapest pieces of hardware around, for some good reasons. However, did you know that you can easily get your return on investment by harvesting free power? It's easy, just connect them to each other and both devices will be charging at once. Use this to recharge the batteries, so you can then plug something else in to feed of the free energy you just collected. Follow for more tech tips!

Fix this code.

The history of stupidly-effective LLM guardrail jailbreaks is nearly indistinguishable from shit my kid would try 😋
Browsing the issues it looks like systemd 257 was a particularly cursed release, and that's exactly the one trixie managed to land on.
Linux 7.1 is now out, and with it these three patches mentioned above.

@austriancoder Nice, with that I can finally run #firefox with Webrender / hw-acceleration on the #librem5 \o/
Not saying that there aren't still glitches - but it works!
New blog post: Fixing the R/B swap the right way 🔴🔵
Vivante GPUs always write pixels in BGRA byte order. etnaviv had been fixing that in the fragment shader - until it crashed on scalar outputs. The proprietary blob had a simpler answer all along: just tell the sampler the format is swapped and let the hardware cancel it out.
It deleted more code than it added AND gained 4.7% in glmark2. Then dmabuf broke the closed loop.

When visiting Knyfyrtel @hspoz after @piwo I managed to catch one last ride of Poznań's 105Na tram on the special "51" farewell line. The 105N type appeared 51 years ago on the city's streets - though this one was actually only 48 years old 😄 This particular form (HF 01 modernization) showed up 20 years ago, just when I started taking trams daily to get to high school. It's high time to retire though. Goodbye, stopiątko!

Judging from this graphic, KDE Plasma has become more popular than GNOME ever was in its heyday before 3.0.
Nearly 45% market-share among #ArchLinux users.

🔥 W sobotę, w trakcie Poznańskiej Imprezy Wolnego Oprogramowania (#PIWO) powołany został Sojusz Przyjaciół Otwartego i Wolnego Oprogramowania (#SPOIWO).
W Auli Wydziału Matematyki UAM w imieniu kilkunastu organizacji obywatelskich, biznesu open source, hackerspace'ów, środowisk technologicznych i spółdzielni, Janek Oleszczuk-Zygmuntowski przedstawił 10-punktową Deklarację na rzecz suwerenności cyfrowej.
Jak pisze Janek:
"Byli ze mną przedstawiciele sygnatariuszy, którzy wyjaśnili dlaczego to robimy.
Bo nie chcemy, żeby Premier RP komunikował politykę na łasce cudzego algorytmu. Bo nie zgadzamy się na kolonizację i grabież dziesiątek miliardów złotych na zamknięte, niebezpieczne systemy Big Tech. Bo nie chcemy indoktrynacji dzieci do "jedynych słusznych" programów.
I wiemy, że alternatywy istnieją, a teraz czas żeby rząd je zobaczył i zaczął wdrażać, uczyć i finansować. SPOIWO jest po to, żeby rząd miał partnera do dyskusji jak wreszcie zacząć odzyskiwać suwerenność cyfrową. A jak trzeba to i twardego negocjatora, bo czas upływa a polski deficyt cyfrowy rośnie jak na drożdżach (60 MLD zł w 2025 r.!). Jeśli Wasza organizacja promuje, stosuje lub tworzy wolne/otwarte oprogramowanie - zapraszamy do Sojuszu. Wystarczy zgoda na Deklarację i piszcie do sekretarza SPOIWO Macieja Sroczyńskiego."

Kooperatywa Sieciowa @koop współdziała w SPOIWO 💪
Pełna treść Deklaracji:
1. Konieczne jest przeciwstawienie się monopolowi technologicznemu przez decentralizację usług, otwarte protokoły komunikacyjne, nowoczesną infrastrukturę telekomunikacyjną, respekt do standardów i modele spółdzielcze.
2. Suwerenność cyfrowa obywateli i obywatelek, organizacji i państwa jest możliwa tylko w oparciu o otwarte i wolne oprogramowanie, czyli takie, które zapewnia wolność do swobodnego użytkowania programu, badania i modyfikowania jego kodu oraz rozpowszechniania kopii wraz z modyfikacjami.

@noodles IMHO these kinds of systems have no place in a democratic society.
There is a real chance that in 5-10 years, there will be laptops and smartphones running open processors and operating systems with UX and and an OS comparable or better than the proprietary equivalent, but which are effectively useless to the average consumer because it is cryptographically impossible to use them for anything due to remote attestation proliferating more and more
https://github.com/robinostlund/homeassistant-volkswagencarnet/issues/967
There needs to be a law that makes remote attestation - no matter who provides the root certificates, Google/Apple/GrapheneOS - illegal. There is only one use for this technology right now, and it is to prevent people from doing what they want to do with the devices they own, while also making interoperability cryptographically impossible. This is anti-competitive and should simply be illegal.
We were a bit too busy at last weekends Phosh contributors meeting to keep you fully informed here, in the #fediverse, sorry for that.
Here's a look back at what happened: https://ev.phosh.mobi/blog/pcm26-bits/
