heavily involved in #LinuxMobile and @postmarketOS. Don't dm me for support, ping me in a public matrix channel.
I maintain U-Boot for Qualcomm devices and do other cool embedded stuff @ Linaro

question for free software maintainers
how do you go on holidays?? I'm at the point where I get 20-25 GitHub emails per day (issues, PRs, discussions, replies). I'm scared to think what I will come back to if I leave for a week or two
aha! looks like they WERE in fact 3D rendered! even to the point of using a human figure as an origin point for the camera to make it look like you were actually looking at a desk top

Technical Writer looking for work!
Previously worked at Red Hat on OpenShift and Ceph, and at various startups. Been contracting the past year, but it's a tough market out there, and I'm very much in need of work.
I come from a technical background (software engineer). Open to contract work and FTE.
Reach out here or fionn@kelleher.email. Happy with solo work, or joining a team of writers.
Boosts appreciated.
Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding:
One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions.
As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it:

this purism blog post marketing about firmware security is wild
In the case of the Librem 5 smartphone, there is no Intel ME or AMD PSP at all—offering a truly transparent architecture.
Yet the Librem 5 has a proprietary boot ROM, additional ROM code for root of trust validation, a modem running proprietary firmware (connected via USB)
most importantly, I don't believe they actually enable secure boot, so if you're able to gain root access you could trivially replace the trustzone firmware with a modified version
To not go into any detail about the security model is pretty wild for a post titled "Hidden Operating Systems in Chips vs. Secure, Auditable OSes: A Cybersecurity Comparison"...
You don't get to own Xorg. It belongs to the X.org foundation and community.
X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and Weston
Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.

@mavica_again that's awesome, actually.
I remember many tutorial looks for styles like that, and there was a lot that WAS done with combining many many layer styles in the era, but to see these shots of the process are really neat~
