@okias I totally agree. That is the reason I have a totally optional #PureOS subscription for my #Librem5:

"#Apple and #Google have agreed to pay a combined $163 million to settle lawsuits accusing their voice assistants of secretly recording users’ private conversations without consent."

Do you want to be customer of a company that listens into your private conversations?

Leave the #duopoly. Buy a #MobileLinux phone.

Personally, I'm using the #Librem5 from @purism.

For people going to #FOSDEM: don't forget to install #Confy:

Confy has the full FOSDEM schedule.

I've installed in on my #Librem5.

So I finally understand why 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 doesn't work with the #Librem5's big cam.

Turns out it's not going to work - but I now at least understand why 😂

(this limits streaming at full res to about 16 FPS 10-bit and 20 FPS 8-bit instead of the sensor's 30 FPS, but you won't really be able to process it at this speed anyway so it's not a big loss; lower res can still work with higher framerates; with the current driver up to 120 FPS but it could go even higher)

Just tested on my #librem5 and it works when setting the gles override as its needed
MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1

luckily it does seem to mostly work ok. It has a long delay when exiting the now playing to view the library but audio continues working perfectly.

Submitted a PR to the flatpak to add in the needed changes for arm64 in flathub but its waiting for a new release to be tagged on the finamp repo.

Considering this does seem to need GLES3 i guess no #pinephone :/

@Marloezovic Ik maak helemaal geen gebruik een Android of iOS gebaseerd operating systeem op mijn telefoon. Ik gebruik #PureOS op mijn #Librem5 Linux telefoon van @purism.

Ik kan zelf geen bedragen van meer dan €5000 overschrijven. Ik ben ook met een vriend op bezoek geweest bij toen nog Volksbank om het hier met hun filosoof over te hebben.

Ik wil persoonlijk helemaal digitaal soeverein zijn. Dat beschouw ik als mijn plicht als IT- en FOSS-expert. Zo weet dat het kan, en waar het soms knelt.

@Marloezovic Cash is king anyway. En de afhankelijk van banken houdt ook meteen afhankelijkheid van #bigtech in. Want banken passen zeer veel #appdwang toe.

Lees hier waarom appdwang ook problematisch is:

https://appdwang.nl/

Ik gebruik een #Linux telefoon (#Librem5) en kan nu niet meer alle bankhandelingen online doen.

De bank dwingt me naar de de apps die alleen verkrijgbaar zijn via Apple of Google. En die wil ik niet.

While repairing my #librem5 screen a month or so ago, I took the opportunity to run some fine grit sandpaper over the GPS antenna contacts and **very gently** bend the contact pin out a touch.

Since doing that, the GPS is now actually usable. I usually have a rough position by the time maps finishes loading, and a full lock only a minute or two later. Last major nit overcome!

I just wanted to fix a depth32f GLES3 failure in my WIP branch… but it turned into digging into a bunch of other issues, and I even started working on a tiling library with some NEON magic - because of course it should be fast 😄

And since I love having unit tests to keep myself honest, there are now lots of them.

In the end, code sharing to support another graphics API is a win - so it’s definitely not a waste of time.
