No idea how much of a hot take it is but i find virtual to be a plague upon a codebase.

There are a few very rare use cases for it, but imo most cases where developers use virtual they can use templates instead to achieve the same result.

Doomscrolling big tech? On my Lemmy???

We only doomscroll federated platforms here.

without features that few people are going to use

Every KDE user has shaken the mouse once just to see how big it gets, this is a critical feature!

It's almost like client side anti cheat doesn't work and if proper server side anti cheat is made it wouldn't matter what platform the client is on.

Mom, i can i have podman?

Mom: we have podman at home.

Podman at home: rootless docker

Thank you very much! but please save the praise for when i get working calls.

after that praise me as much as you like xd

Looks like he beat me to the punch, but this proves it is possible atleast. Coming soon to a fp6-img near you!

My version is also mostly ready. So expect a post about it soon.

But, it already did?

I mean cool that he is also working on it but why does he announce it like this is new?

Unless he doesn't know but i'm pretty sure it does since people posted about me in his replies?

LMAO

guess what just showed up in my company mailbox?

Hi,

I came across Catcrafts recently and have really enjoyed following the Fairphone 6 PostmarketOS work — the post on getting VoLTE calls with working audio was a great read, and the Epictetus quote was a perfect touch.

Mauricio here — I lead growth at Audioread. We loved Catcrafts so much that we turned it into audio, for free. Your last few articles are already narrated. Here's "imsd 112 emergency calling end to end tested successfully! (Linux phone VoLTE)" read by our best premium voice:

Oh really, "Mauricio", nice "—" you got there, wondered how these ended up in your totally hand written text because you enjoy my posts so much

we can even clone your voice, so the audio actually sounds like you reading it.

yeah no thanks.

As people may have noticed from my lack of posts, this is sadly quite the hard problem compared to my previous bringups.

I do say that giving up is not part of my dictionary but im genuinly running out of ideas here.

If people have been following along with the LKML this is very relevant:

From Codec pov, its exactly same IP, I have now SDCA drivers working for both playback and capture, so Am hoping that we could use the same SDCA driver for both of these modes. I still have to give it a try on a mobile platform to verify this.

Am hoping to send a version of this driver sometime this week.

--srini

This is a response of Srinivas on my mic patch, if their SDCA complaint driver does work on the FP6, then my driver gets superseded, and maybe i can make my calls work on their SDCA driver, we'll see.

Honestly it is crazy that some parts like Audioreach calls and NFC-CE are just completely uncharted territory on linux if and i repeat if i get this working i would genuinely be the first.

I'm also keeping my eyes peeled for this one https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected], its an FP6 adjacent board and they can actually read the hashed DIAG messages from the modem and get the plaintext (qualcomm really making it hard for me)

Getting the DIAG channel open was quite a bit of work, and then it was finally open and i hoped for a breaktrough like with GPS and then its all obsfucated...

It's time for Europe to decide if we want to be a US puppet state or independent.

I can't make this up, it gets even funnier.

I downloaded their sample and put it on my server.

Seems like my instance doesn't like audio, here's the link:

Listen to 00:10

I apologize if this is egotistical but this isn't progress.

i already did this 2 months ago.

Fun thing about linux phones is that they can all look different without vendor lock in

(Yes i aplogize for the scuffed picture put pressing the screenshot button closes the menu)

Streaming services really have become the poster child of enshittifcation. My last experience with netflix:

• Resolution seems a bit blurry
• hmmm ok maybe it set to 720p
• Open the settings, options are high, auto, and data saver.
• Whatever happend to just selecting the resolution?
• Have to search on reddit for some obscure key combination that opens the debug menu
• shows 720p
• opens first support ticket
• support agent says to contact "the manufacturer of my device", upon asking with "the manufacturer of my device" (pc) if he means intel, nvdia, or asus he just says "whoever made your device" and closes the ticket
• open second support ticket
• after some useless back and forth they eventually send an obscure netflix support article that full hd and above is not supported on linux
• immediately cancel because as a paying customer you get a worse experiance then the pirates who get 4k with no issues

And netflix is "generous" to give 720p, i think disney plus maxes out at 360p without DRM, atleast that's what it looks like because they also use vague terms like "high" and don't have a resolution setting.

Im hard at work doing that.

For everyone that asks what alternative there is: Im developing a fully workiny postmarketos build for the Fairphone 6, which is a modern phone unlike most linux supported phones, i regularly post my progress here if you're interested!

Obligatory shoutout to https://github.com/cat-milk/Anime-Girls-Holding-Programming-Books/tree/master

Very curious to see the linux support.

I will be buying on day one to test this out and get an image ready.

I'm really grateful for all the people that donated so the price is partially covered.

PMOS is PostmarketOS, it is a linux distribution for mobile devices.

e/OS is a fork of LineageOS bundled with MicroG.

the difference is that PostmarketOS runs mainline linux, while e/OS and LineageOS still run android.

while degoogled, android is in the end still controlled by google, and their game plan seems to be to shift as much from AOSP to google play services, which will make degoogled android harder and harder.

using mainline linux bypasses this entirely. with the bonus of being able to use all software of the linux ecosystem.
