@linmob 14 days left and still only 5% funded. Looks like the market for such devices has dried up completely.

Credits: thanks to Richard for providing the FDAI. I worked on this with @CuriousMarc, @tubetime, and Mike Stewart.

Another photo of the FDAI with the cover removed. The black-and-white ball is visible through the octagonal front panel at the left. The long indicator needles are visible, running the length of the unit, driven by chunky electromagnetic coils. The power supply board is at the back, with a tangle of colorful wires. Some gears and motors are visible. The back panel has been removed, showing the round military-style connector as well as mechanical adjustments and potentiometer adjustments. The amplifier boards have been removed, so some loose wires are visible. The wires have metal pins on the end, similar to the jumpers one uses with an Arduino.

Here's a photo of an /actual/ cat-faced orchid looks like - the photo Google's AI overview ought to use in its answer.

But then…

Showing people what a real version looks might discourage them from engaging with the row of sponsored links that also show on the results page…

An extremely welcome initiative from the 🇪🇺 #eu:

🔋Phone Batteries must retain 80% capacity after 800 cycles.

📱Phone makers must provide 5 years of updates,

🪛 are banned from discriminating against repair shops,

🔧 and must provide parts for 7 years after EOL

@elvishcraftsman It's good enough to even run my bank's online banking app, which is a lot since it doesn't even run on all Android devices.

The biggest remaining issue I guess would be missing Bluetooth support.

@elvishcraftsman That already exists, it's called .

@Wendinope @agx @Gnome I didn't do any setup. I installed the Debian unstable package half a year ago and that was it.

@zak @wallabag Looks like Wallabag ist supported by KOReader, which can be installed on Kobo devices via unofficial side-loading. Not the elegant way and only for the savvy users, but it might at least work.

2025-05-22

@Wendinope @agx @Gnome There's not much to setup. It builds against Hunspell and Presage by default and exposes a very simple configuration dialogue (currently in "Mobile Settings" but that could change).

@zak Jesus. Pocket is supported by many e-Book readers, e.g. my Kobo can sync whole articles for offline reading. I doubt e-Book manufacturers will add other services instead, so Mozilla just removed a major feature from millions of devices.

@pak0st I have completely lost track of how many different Wayland protocols there are now. If Color Management is any example, we will get a good and complete input protocol in 2049.

2025-05-22

@farooqkz Never thought about that one. Apart from those "voice assistants" nobody seems to use anymore, it is probably also very important for accesability?

2025-05-22

@zak This. The OS I am using doesn't have to be "convergent" in the sense that I get a full-blown desktop if I connect my phone to a monitor, but every single GUI application must be able to adapt to the most common screen sizes as far as humanly possible.

Perfectly good "desktop" applications like , etc. not adapting to a phone is the same waste of developer time as some "mobile" application making zero use of the additional desktop space. It's simply a bug.

@realsimon The FOSS world at least has to make sure the gap in those few areas in which machine learning actually works doesn't get too big, yes.

2025-05-22

@okennedy Fully agree.
