Sigrok and Pulseview look abandoned. There is no development happening anymore?
What are people using instead?
Proprietary vendor tools?
How can I figure out what's wrong with my fingerprint reader on Android, specifically fairphone 6.
I would like to avoid factory resetting my system to avoid having to set up all my (payment and messaging) apps again.
Fairphone has no good documentation for debugging this, so I built my own debugging app. This indicates the hardware is fine but software is not.

What—and I cannot stress this enough—the fuck?
I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.
- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusion between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' (which is technically megacalories)
- you get to feel more like a robot with your 2.5kwh power consumption a day which may feel like validation to some creatures on this fediverse
- become powered by cake
The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.
If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.
https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.
We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.
Thank you for your support!
I'll be at FOSDEM 2026 this weekend in Brussels representing @frameworkcomputer
Find us at our desk at AW-03 to come talk to us and see the hardware in person.
