Huge thanks to everybody who is making this possible! ❤️

flamingradian@sineware.caThis is the Unfettered Keyboard, my newly released on-screen keyboard (re-)written in #Rust for #linuxmobile. It takes heavy inspiration from the Unexpected Keyboard for Android (even using the same XML layout format) and lets you type at least 69 characters on the default layout without switching. Not shown is support for Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcuts with the two levels of the keymap.

Codethink
codethink@social.codethink.co.ukIt's fair to say we had a fantastic time in Colorado (and Berlin!) for GUADEC 2024.
Off the back of the event, Martín Abente Lahaye has published a conference round-up, including some highlights from his time in Denver.
Thanks to the GNOME Foundation, volunteers, staff, and everyone else who made the event unforgettable.

chriswood@mastodon.design1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck

ChanceyFleet@mas.toAs a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

regarding all the mastodon4harris stuff. i can only speak for myself here, but when i donate to mutual aid requests for help i see on here, I don't fucking post about it.
I'll be the first to admit that i have at least some level of middle class guilt, i grew up middle class around a bunch of working class people, and having found a decently well paying and stable job in tech (surprisingly easy as a privileged and reasonably smart white cishet passing guy) i often think "wow i have some disposable income that's great". Being able to give that money to people who need it (and being able to find those people in the first place) is genuinely an honor, and a humbling experience.
from this perspective, i can certainly imagine why someone would be much more comfortable advertising their donation to the harris campaign (a truly middle class venture) but not so comfortable advertising their donation to some random mutual aid thing.
i think these are clearly very different kinds of donation, with different intents and expectations. From the middle class perspective it's frowned upon to appear like you're being a good person for giving your money away to someone who needs it - it's like you're trying to guilt other middle class people into doing the same and you will get shunned for it.
I think this mentality is totally the reason why some middle class people don't donate to mutual aid stuff - it's easy to try and not think about something and/or blame the victim.
Yes, this is obviously fucked. I don't mean to excuse or normalise this behaviour, I just think we should engage in a more systemic analysis (and more middle class shaming).
We live in a society that includes a lot of people who do not have economic stability. I would be broke if i gave money to every mutual aid post i see.
idk, I don't see anybody acknowledge this shit and i really wonder why??

pabloyoyoista@social.treehouse.systemsSo thanks to @rmader@mastodon.social we managed to get the front camera in the Pixel 3a working with a libcamera/pipewire stack 🥳 Thanks to @flamingradian for the work on the whole port!
EDIT: The driver does not properly release the camera when closing the app, so it only works once per boot. It would be lovely if anybody with the skills would like to contribute to improve it!

AdrianVovk@fosstodon.orgJust got GNOME Mobile 46 built and running in @postmarketOS on my OP6, here at #GUADEC2024 in Denver, so the folks in Berlin aren't the only ones that can try it out!
Come find me at the BoFs tomorrow if you want to play with it!
Thanks @cas for the help getting it building!

postmarketOS@fosstodon.org@EC_NGI and @nlnet make a dramatic impact to improve our sustainable, privacy and attention respecting #linuxmobile ecosystem. One of the very few answers we have to the duopoly of Android and iOS from Silicon Valley!
Because of that we are saddened about the @EUCommission not mentioning NGI programmes anymore in their draft of funding programmes for 2025. 😢
We signed the open letter, consider doing the same if your project received funding in the past.
