I tried RK3568 MIPI DSI patches from @a3f for #barebox and I got a display out on my #pinetab2 :)
Hi! This is the main Fediverse account of a blog about LINux on MOBile devices – linmob.net. It's has been restarted in 2020 because of the PinePhone and continues to report the news on Mobian, postmarketOS, Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch and the hardware these alternative operating systems run on.
Used to be https://identi.ca/linmob. Also on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/linmob.net.
Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a #postmarketos developer how many phones they have
Hay! I'm done with beautiful player for @phosh written in @vala_lang
Make your @postmarketOS #linuxonmobile experience more 🐱 meow'ish
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 109. Metatype handling, the problem of arrays in QML and the extraction of tab data.
I'm contributing to a new application from @azibom called Assistant, which is aimed to become part of the GNOME Circle community. Here is the icon I designed for now.
#postmarketOS now boots on Apple Generic iDevice!

Psst. you!
Yes, you.
libinput 1.29rc1 is out. Don't tell anyone.
The list of (secret!) goodies is: better scroll wheel heuristics, new tablet eraser button configuration and an internal plugin pipeline (no public plugins yet though).
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/releases/1.28.901
🐈 Hehe, now we can make @phosh plugins in @vala_lang.
Made plugin that replaces default phosh player to amberol'ish one
wayback is now fully on freedesktop: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayback/wayback
thanks to @neal for driving this, and @mupuf for doing the sysadmin work on freedesktop gitlab!
🎉 🐱 Now there are AutoFocus trigger in PipeTap
https://git.nekocwd.duckdns.org/NekoCWD/PipeTap
Demo was #ShotOnOneplus 6 (oneplus-enchilada) running @postmarketOS
I was not getting mobile data while at #DebConf25 (Brest, France) on #Librem5. My home network is vi India. Another provider airtel worked, and the same Vi sim worked on an android phone as well as pinephone pro running mobian. On #FLX1 also vi failed but airtel worked.
I manged to get it working after installing a patched ModemManager that uses ppp instead of qmi for data connection. Thanks to @dos for maintaining these patches https://source.puri.sm/sebastian.krzyszkowiak/ModemManager/-/commits/bearers
🐱 🎉 @libcamera side AutoFocus
Thanks to @pavel , people who made those changes https://gitlab.com/tui/libcamera/-/commits/l5 and others!
Will publish my tree tomorrow
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 107. With the Java classes complete, today I've implemented all the C++ classes needed to extract channel info via the Extractor library.
