Plasma Mobile is great
  • If you use the barebones one, then you're actually using Arch 😉

    Awesome!

  • Plasma Mobile is great
  • 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!

  • Plasma Mobile is great
  • Nice, we don't encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

  • Is the server down?
  • Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It's back up now.

  • Blame the humidity!
  • 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.

  • Update from Lemmy after the Reddit blackout
  • 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.

  • Update from Lemmy after the Reddit blackout
  • 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!

  • Update from Lemmy after the Reddit blackout
  • 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.

  • Does the relatively full support of Ubuntu phone for the Fairphone 4 have any bearing on PostmarketOS?
  • 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.

  • KDE on a pinephone
  • 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.

  • A bunch of improvements landing for Firefox on Linux smartphones
  • 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.

  • 2006Scape is now availabale as a flatpak!
  • That I really don't care about haha. I've never been a rich player anyway, probably why I liked the GE 🙈

  • 2006Scape is now availabale as a flatpak!
  • Huh I actually like the GE, way better than spam chatting in a city square somewhere 🤷

  • 2006Scape is now availabale as a flatpak!
  • 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.

  • 2006Scape is now availabale as a flatpak!
  • 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.

  • YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
  • Newpipe or even better, LibreTube, for even more privacy (and included sponsorblock!).

  • YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
  • 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.

  • Is RISC-V hardware viable now?
  • I believe just as viable as a Raspberry Pi, but not much more.

  • defacto SC community?
  • lemmy.ml is way overloaded. That is why federation is important and not to centralize on a single instance, spread the load out over multiple networks. The fact that you are on a different server is good, but lemmy.ml still has to process your subscription.

    says a lemmy.ml user that still has to move out

  • Did anyone try Half Life Alyx on Wayland?
  • Cable only half-way plugged in, if only I had the same problem 😅

    In my case it seems to be an unfortunate hardware/software combo bug. I'm due for a new PC sometime soon anyway, I'll have to be patient for a bit.

  • In an effort to promote the use of open and FOSS platforms rather than proprietary and locked down ones, as postmarketOS we created our own community on Lemmy

    postmarketOS - Lemmy

    [email protected] , please join and help it make more awesome and bigger than the Reddit one :winking face:

    I'm one of the core pmOS devs and although the other core devs aren't Lemmy users yet, I'll make sure to hang around, answer questions, moderate, etc.

    For the people that don't know about postmarketOS yet:

    postmarketOS is a real Linux distribution for phones. We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

    Have a look at our website and join us on Matrix!
