Also, hey @Fairphone, any chance for this to be available in Canada soon enough? Assuming band support is okay, I would have ordered today, but it's impossible to do so.

Hey @Fairphone, you should probably list the bands supported by your phone. » Dual SIM, both 5G enabled (one physical Nano-SIM slot 4FF, 5G enabled and one eSIM, 5G enabled » More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception This is not an okay "specification" list.

I suspect I don't know anyone with contacts at @ASUS / @ASUS_ROG. It seems like ROG Ally won't be available locally here, so I won't really be able to attempt to get it going with Jovian NixOS, I guess. github.com/Jovian-Experiment…

20230426.1000 might be a new milestone for Nix adjacent things... Maybe more about that later...

Replying to @Plagman2
@Plagman2 Hi! Sorry to intrude. It looks like the config-arch fragment for the kernel for Steam Deck needs to be synced with upstream (in 6.1.7-valve1). It was reported to me that the kernel as-built ends-up with CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE{,_UT}=n. I don't know if it really matters.

I suspect it's possible other defaults from the upstream may end-up differing from the intended values. I don't really like doing reports-by-twitter, but I'm unsure where a technical report like this one should be sent, and the PKGBUILD repos aren't public to suggest the change.

I had the opportunity to talk about GKI at the 7th Korea Linux Kernel Developers Meetup. My slides are all in English, so if anyone's curious, here's the PDF: kernel-dev-ko.github.io/7th/…

My hot take is that Nix actually has great syntax

Using a mainline kernel tree on commercial devices, rather than unmaintained per-chip forks, would mean having not only better Linux possibilities, but even new Android versions on every device within minutes. As has always been on "normal" computers

Extra vertebrae and free floating clavicle bones allow cats to pass their body through incredibly narrow spaces. Basically they can squeeze through any space larger than their skull: bit.ly/2pU9aU7 [source of the gif: buff.ly/3Q1Dwwd]

after literally 6000 lines of code, I finally figured out how to get Android to detect a SIM card no, no it can't connect to mobile data... yet This is #AOSP with #Linux mainline and a completely open source userspace stack on the @oneplus 6

Il est grand temps, on doit nationaliser les réseaux de télécoms au Québec. C'est un besoin essentiel au même titre que l'électricité. On a prouvé que c'est une bonne idée depuis bientôt 80 ans avec @hydroquebec, alors cuisinons la même recette avec l'infrastructure de télécoms.

À nos politiciens, nos représentants, que vous soyez @partiquebecois, @QuebecSolidaire, @liberalquebec ou @coalitionavenir, planifiez pour un futur fiable, ensemble, dans lequel nous pouvons avoir une confiance totale dans notre réseau de télécommunication.
It's long overdue, Québec should nationalize telco infras. It's an essential need, just like electricity. We've proven that it's a good idea for just about 80 years with @hydroquebec, so let's cook the same recipe, but this time with the telco infra.

IP facts: IPv6 is six times slower than IPv1... IPv4 only has four times the overhead. This is why absolutely no one deploys IPv6... Maybe we should invest in IPv1 instead!

Many of our latest Chromebooks support USB4. USB4 is an advanced mode where the speed and limitations of the cable also matters, and we've built notifications to help the user when connecting to USB4 devices with a cable that can't support the new mode.

Extremely long shot, but anyone at @OnDeck and @valvesoftware (@Plagman2?) would know how the 1220:163a PCI device is supposed to show up? Planned future feature masked by the firmware?

Samsung Exynos 2200 GPU is using a modified AMDGPU kernel driver. The SKU name is VANGOGH_LITE (upcoming RDNA2 APUs are using VANGOGH). github.com/konradybcio/andro…

Everyone shut up about Safari, the *real* reason to hate Apple is their phones were designer-chic and caused Google to switch away from the blobmoji, the most perfect emoji set to have ever graced this sinful earth
The blobs were the optimal solution to body expressions that went beyond a yellow smiley face. The chair of the Emoji SubCommittee has often mentioned them: teapawt.net/jenniferdaniel/status/…
