As a reminder: #wireplumber is the session manager and therefore the "brain" of #PipeWire. The later is intentionally kept simple, not handling anything policy related.
The version has one fix I'm particular happy about:
Fixed camera device deduplication logic when the same device is available
through both V4L2 and libcamera, and the libcamera one groups multiple V4L2
devices together.
I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation & less work for me. So in theory a good time to try it out.
#postmarketOS just landed the last MR needed to make the #libcamera + #PipeWire camera stack work on the #Librem5 and #PinePhone by default, using the new software ISP shipped in libcamera 0.3.
So if you have such a device: just update and go install apps like Snapshot, Warp, Decoder etc. You can even use it with Firefox and - very soon - Chromium.
Note that this does not replace #megapixels or #millipixels - those continue to be the default camera apps.
It's been almost 5 years but I've written a new blog post again! This time describing my setup for daily driving #PlasmaMobile on #postmarketOS after a bit more than a week of using it.
@bart I think one reason why people think the #Librem5 and #Pinephone are the best options is because there has been a lot time and effort to support them properly.
I would agree that the OG Pinephone is quite slow out of the box though. However the Pinephone Pro is pretty solid. Only thing that quite bugs me is battery life.
The Librem5 is quite impressive out of the box and pricing has been adjusted. So I wouldn't say it's too expensive for what you get.
#SailfishOS on the @PINE64#Pinephone and #pinephonepro has an updated kernel and ofono. Please should if it breaks and i can revert the change, but hopefully its better!!
We need #openhardware with #bluetooth so we can link them it to #MyGNUHealth.
Currently we have @pine64eu smartwatch, but we'd love to integrate scales, glucometers, blood pressure monitors...
Just reply to this toot or send us a message if you know of any device. We'd love to test them!🤗 #GNU#GNUHealth#pinephone#PineTime
The shitmongers running Google and Big Tech in general are the actors directly responsible for the decline of the internet in the name of growth and profit, as well as the side effects this has had on society in general, but the root cause is that these psychopaths are rewarded handsomely by investors for their toxic behaviour.
This is why I would never work for a publicly traded company again. I did once and realised that even if I wanted to that I would eventually be laid off in a round of job cuts (again) or fired due to being unmanageable or some such thing.
@newt the irony is not lost on me. Opening this link on my #PinePhone quickly turned the poor old fondleslab into a hand warmer and drained like 10% of the battery in the time it took to read it.
Google did this. Google did all of this, and yes the linked website is complicit in it.
And if you follow the stock price of #Alphabet lately you can see investors continue to reward them more than ever.
