Last time at a karaoke I sang a song that translates to "we're hitchhiking". Little did the audience know that I wasn't hitchhiking at all and neither were they. I was just standing there, singing.

What a weird article. In both shown cases it takes a perfectly legible and understandable dialog and then twists it beyond recognition into something I've never seen being actually used to go "see? that's what's wrong wi

Because a sticker "includes Tetris" on a box that doesn't mention Tetris otherwise seems like a mistake, while "now includes Tetris" sounds like there's been a change that made the information on the box out-of

I have no troubles compiling most stuff on a phone with 3GB RAM. I even worked on Mesa on it once when I was too lazy to set up cross-compilation. I only struggled with OOMs on some Rust apps so far (and I haven't even had zram set up

To be fair, those were the best that were there back then. But that was more than 20 years ago. Since then Intel came to work on Mesa, later AMD and various embedded GPU vendors, and now Nvidia is one of the worst options out there.

It has worked for decades and many thousands of packages just fine. If nobody cares enough to make the application available, perhaps it just shouldn't be there.

Of course you do, that's where the value comes from after all.

Neither does mine. When I'm not rebooting into new kernels and don't let the battery go flat, I reach several weeks of uptime (eventually interrupted by one of the things mentioned).

You couldn't even make a 5W USB-C cable if you tried. You'd have to make the wires so thin that it would burn at above 1A I guess, and it would have no way to signal the device to limit its power consumption to 1A, so it would jus

It's just as if people weren't a single hive-minded entity and they all had differing needs and opinions. Of course we need better phones. Librem 5, the one I personally still consider the best out there right now, is now 6-7 year

Sorry? Pixel 1 was a 2016 high-end mainstream phone that costed about the same as a niche and low-volume Linux phone in its crowdfunding campaign just a year later. It's actually fairly similar spec-wise to Librem 5, with exception of

The majority of the photos on the first page came straight from the phone with no post-hoc processing whatsoever (and if you click on the post about Millipixels, there's more of unedited ones in the replies). Only tram, train and kerne

I bet the vast majority of that slowness people complain about comes purely from GTK renderers. A motivated contributor could do wonders there.

I'm getting tired of all this exaggeration. I don't think there's any significant component in the Librem 5 that has even existed a decade ago already. Perhaps the audio codec. Sure, it can be underwhelming today when it come

Everything happens on my terms. The phone never tries to grab my attention unless I explicitly make it so. All the things I use are FLOSS. I can patch anything I want down to the kernel and bootloader, often on the phone itself (see https:

I'm not exactly a photographer, these are just random point-and-shoot photos I took with my phone. I am, however, a programmer who has spent a bit of effort on making the photos taken on this phone look reasonably good, which is all it

The (hardware) camera quality is about what you'd expect from a phone from 2019. Software processing to get JPEGs out of raw data is worse (with a huge room for improvement), but you get the raw DNGs and can employ any processing you w
