Implemented connecting to the device, and the basic infrastructure for the protocol used to control/receive information from the earbuds. #GNOME #GNOMEApps #libadwaita

@GeopJr@tech.lgbt @andrewblasco@masto.es Maybe it's good idea to set up a custom FDroid repo for GNOME apps (similar to gnome-nightly), if there are more Android ports in the future? Though I guess it's far too early for discussions about it now.

YouTuber: So let me review Linux like it's for a normal person. … And my specialized hardware and video creation software does not work. 🤦

@AlexanderVanhee@mastodon.social @bragefuglseth@sunny.garden I think that may be solved with GTK5, no? Since GTK5 is planning to drop icon theme support: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/work_items/5007 I decided to ship every icon myself, even if it may already be included in Adwaita, just to avoid missing icons.

@zoeyTheWitch @hbons To be fair, this is the first time I'm posting about this app :) It's an app to configure (Bluetooth) headphones, e.g. toggle active noise cancellation, etc. I should probably add this to the original post.

Thanks to an update of the underlying libraries the next release of #Hieroglyphic will automatically use hardware acceleration (i.e. NPU) when available, improving efficiency.

Yesterday @camelCaseNick@floss.social, @pabloyoyoista@social.treehouse.systems and I met again. We talked about local community building, worked on the postmarketOS handbook and continued cleaning up old code.

Hmm, I feel like it's not intentional that #rust-analyzer uses 523k inotify watches.

My favorite comment I read today about the #X11 removal: " TCP/IP is over 50 years old but nobody is calling for it's replacement. 😉 ". Really speaks for itself.

Was wondering my computer was acting up, apparently something in my editor managed to consume 45 GB memory (and rising) before it was killed.

@thibaultamartin @hbons Would love to, unfortunately each vendor has their own protocol which needs to be reverse-engineered (which of course requires access to the device), so I'm mostly building abstractions and implementing them for the devices that I have. Hopefully someone else can than easily just reverse-engineer/port the protocol and hook it up, without worrying about everything else :)

Is there any good reason to require an #API key for an API if said key is written two lines above in a public git repository?

Google's IssueTracker actually does something like this, where it allows opting out of all comments, and only receive emails when the issue was closed.

@umurgdk It currently only depends on BlueZ (Bluetooth service) being externally available, so it should work.

@pespin @thibaultamartin @hbons Thanks, I appreciate the interest, but there already exists loads of excellent guides online, so I don't think I would be adding much value, e.g. GadgetBridge has a good article to get started with some further links in it: https://gadgetbridge.org/internals/development/bluetooth/
Inspect Bluetooth packets - Gadgetbridge
gadgetbridge.org

Inspect Bluetooth packets - Gadgetbridge

@AdrianVovk @thibaultamartin @hbons Thanks for the interesting video. There definitely is. Qualcomm has a similar protocol, but as far as I can tell, OEMs can define custom commands, so it still requires some work. I presume similar for other protocols.

In general most of the protocol seems to be incredible similar (i.e. a header with some magic byte, some command a length and then a payload and a checksum).

Is the code pushed anywhere to play with?

Not yet, but hopefully soonish.

@vixalientoots @sashin @hbons I imagine it also has the advantage of being familar to lots of web developers, which could make it easier for them to get into native app development.

@revisto@mastodon.social Why not also just generate it in the CI? That's what I do for Eyedropper: https://github.com/FineFindus/eyedropper/blob/42da523e17da29c4c4152ddb65c903a73d8a1dae/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L58-L98

@tragivictoria No more X11! 🎉 Otherwise, I think mostly performance improvements and minor changes. At least I haven't noticed anything else so far.

Oh no. I started listening to audiobooks during work-outs as well (because I've run out of podcasts to listen to), and now I'm afraid I'll run out of audiobooks soon too.
