Microsoft recall is fucking insane.

Recall snapshots are kept on Copilot+ PCs themselves, on the local hard disk, and are protected using data encryption on your device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker.

Your doing what? Microsoft wh-

Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds. [...]

[...] The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB, which can store approximately 3 months of snapshots. [...]

WHAT WHY NO ST-

Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device, especially when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry.

Microsoft please... th-the tech support scams... think about what happens if this gets bre-

Recall also does not take snapshots of certain kinds of content, including InPrivate web browsing sessions...

Oh, okay I guess that's san-

...in Microsoft Edge.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It treats material protected with digital rights management (DRM) similarly; like other Windows apps such as the Snipping Tool, Recall will not store DRM content.

Ah, but of course. The DRM is protected...

dos,

@joojmachine @lidsel @capital What you're describing is essentially a btrfs snapshot and hardly relevant to what Microsoft is doing, which is about screenshots.

lol, bye two-lines-crossed site then

dos,

@silmeth I love how it does a little redirection dance as it tries and fails to migrate the session across Tab Containers 😂

Turns out that my Librerapay account was misconfigured for a while and couldn't accept any payments. I've fixed that now, so if you ever tried to support my FLOSS work through there and bounced off, I guess now is a good time to try again 😅

Everyone's excited about pretty sun flares right now; I found one in my collection too, although slightly different in its nature 😁

No manual editing this time, but an automatic postprocessing script using darktable-cli and rudimentary lens corrections. Takes ~30 sec to develop on the phone - about ten times longer than the default script used by Millipixels, but with much better results.

dos,

Current status: before / after

The same photo, now corrected to look much sharper, less foggy, more contrast-y and with no apparent lens shading.

dos,

before / after (both fully automatic, just taking more time to process) #shotonlibrem5 #librem5 #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile #linuxsmartphones

The same photo, with the problems of the first one gone. There's still a bit of noise in the darker parts, especially towards the edges, but it doesn't stand out as the first thing you notice anymore.

dos,

something dark...

Same photo, now much clearer. Even an unlit paper fire extinguisher sign that previously was hidden in a dark puddle is now somewhat legible.

dos,

and something brighter

Much clearer version of the same photo with vignetting removed. There's a bit of banding visible in the corner that used to be mostly black on the first photo though.

dos,

and another cat, there's never too many cats

Vignette gone, noise reduced, evenly lit lawn.

dos,

@martijnbraam None of the above; I'm using Lensfun. I'll add it to the database once I'm reasonably convinced that the data is right.

It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.

I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).

Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.

Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅

dos,

@agx Hah, I remember scanning my 36C3 ticket in December 2019 and turning the phone off whenever I wasn't using it there. Good that it booted quite fast 😁 We're such a long way from there now.

dos, to random

That's how straight lines look like through your phone's camera lens. Such distortion needs to be corrected in software.

dos,

@cnx Yup, cranked it up to eleven to not distract from the point with vignetting 😛

postmarketOS, to random

just as we're considering how soon we want to move away from GitLab.com... I guess the answer now is "fast as we <heck>ing can"

dos,

@lewiscowles1986 @postmarketOS GitLab used to be incredibly powerful compared to GitHub, as GitHub stayed rather barebones for a good while. Today you don't see it like that because over years GitHub has caught up with most of the things that made GitLab unique.

dos,

@lewiscowles1986 @postmarketOS It's good that neither of them is about doing version control then. Gitweb is super easy to set up ;)

dos,

@lewiscowles1986 They don't do version control. Their primary feature is to do project management around version control. Their basic value propositions are based on issue tracking and contribution management. Features like CI are useful for scrappy one-dev projects and big FLOSS communities altogether, it's hardly a "corporate BS".

Again, if all you care about is version control, all you need is gitweb.

dos,

@lewiscowles1986 Well, it's easy - because both Gitea and Gogs follow the GitHub's approach. They take a VCS tool and build a project management & collaboration tool around it. You already said that's not what you want ;) The approach you described used to be popular in FLOSS about 20 years ago (with projects commonly deploying single-concern tools like Bugzilla, Trac, Jenkins, gitweb, Patchwork etc.), but these days it appears to be used just by a minority of long-standing projects.

Randomly stumbled upon Sean Moss-Pultz's short post about Openmoko, featuring some photos of a working prototype of GTA03/3D7K, the cancelled successor to the Neo Freerunner that was being worked on around 2009. So far I have only heard verbal descriptions of how it looked like (usually described as "a soap dish" 😂) and seen photos of some casing mock-ups and bare PCBs, but never a complete device.

I hate CMAKE. That's the post. Just hate it.

Why the FUCK does CMAKE generate VS project files that depend on having CMAKE installed on your system? And it has to be in a fixed path? And EVERYTHING has to be in a fixed path?

Have CMAKE developers ever compiled something or used version control? This is unusable and I am very angry and it's Monday and I haven't had my coffee yet.

EDIT: AND IT HAS TO HAVE VS INSTALLED AT A FIXED PATH TOO WHO MADE THIS CRAP????

dos,

@kkolakowski @sos It's a much better idea than having to maintain a myriad of separate build scripts for each platform and having to deal with stuff like Visual Studio or Xcode directly. CMake isn't a particularly beautiful implementation of that idea, but any other sane build system works the same way.

dos,

@sos @raptor85 @kkolakowski To do actual work, we have proper IDEs that can handle such exotic and rarely-seen things as CMake projects (/s) natively 😂

dos,

@raptor85 @sos @kkolakowski CMake is a leaky abstraction with awful DSL, and my 12yo cmake scripts are a pile of incredible mess riddled with technical debt, but it still does its job well enough that I could just point my projects to stuff like devkitpro, vitasdk, osxcross, Emscripten, Flatpak or Steam Runtime and focus on actual porting rather than fighting with build recipes.

A few days ago I had an idea for a simple e-ink project and found Inkplate - an Open Hardware design with ESP32 and recycled Kindle displays.

Programmed it to wake up daily at midnight to download a PGM image over WiFi (https://gitlab.com/dos1/kartka) from a server which checks some stuff like trash collection schedule. Should last years on a single battery charge.

Check it out if you look for a super approachable way to build some e-ink stuff! https://inkplate.io/

dos,

Turns out that "should last years" was a bit too optimistic - it does last about a single year though in practice, which is good enough :)
