The next big thing for postmarketOS: - all dependencies optional - no more tech debt - systemd and OpenRC installable simultaneously - retaining pbsplash as bootup splash while switching to plymouth for shutdown splash - every UI package merged into one

Congratulations to Germany for having the highest election turnout since reunification — 83,5%, pretty good! Thanks for doing your part in keeping democracy alive :)

Another banger of an MR finally merged after years of work! Really looking forward to a smoother #GNOME experience on my laptop.

Fun fact: If any directory leading to the path to your pmaports checkout has the name "archived", any device you select will be considered archived by #pmbootstrap and consequently show the (in)appropriate warning.

More reasons to avoid Google Maps and I suppose more broadly Google. I don't live nor currently reside in the USA (or using a VPN for that matter), why am I getting this bullshit name?

Today I learnt what a bird conducting 15 kV of power through its body sounds like. Ouch.

I can't be the only one who feels icky about corporate emails constantly including the name I provided them (usually my real name) in the subject. Why do they do this? I'm sure the answer is something about engagement but personally I'm just inclined to unsubscribe.

I really wish I understood this scam. Why did my apparent identity thief who's seemingly called Isabella share this number with me. There's also a base64-encoded PNG image included, but try as I might I can't get it to render.

I often think about the time I asked a local politician from #Sverigedemokraterna about what his vision of a future #Linköping would be. He stops to think for a bit. "More security cameras".

Just learnt that there's an open source alternative to Stack Exchange called Codidact https://codidact.org. Of course, it also has a StackOverflow-style software Q&A: https://software.codidact.com. No idea if it's any good given that a website like this really only is as useful as its community […]

[Vent] I pick up someone else's cigarette butt to throw it away and consequently my glove smells like smoke. Truly no good deed goes unpunished.

First photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S III on #postmarketOS, probably! Credits to Jack Kekzoz, @martijnbraam, and whoever else helped him with getting #Megapixels working on the Midas (Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II) devices — I'm just posting about this […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

Insane how liberating it is to have drag-and-drop that works consistently and doesn't result in Firefox crashing. 2025 year of the NVIDIA + Wayland desktop?

It will never fail to fascinate me how many obscure websites and wikis there are about the most random of topics, like "hypothetical earthquakes": https://hypotheticalearthquakes.fandom.com

Feeling incredibly satisfied knowing that I for once managed to beat "Newbyte Educational Software" to the punch on Bluesky with getting my preferred handle.
