@postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems @wonderfox_dev@mastodon.ml live broadcast is unlikely, but the conference team told me they could try to do recordings of the videos. no promises though, this is our first conference 😉

Plot twist at the end of the great talk "Mainline Linux on Qualcomm SoCs, are we here now ?" by @superna9999@social.linux.pizza: the presentation was running on a snapdragon devboard all along! Here is the view from the side of the stage, showing how it was barely possible to connect it to power and HDMI at the same time 😀

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place wow, thanks for writing such a detailed blog post with so many screenshots and videos of actually using postmarketOS, this must have taken forever to put together. Well done! 😀

Replying to

@newbyte@mastodon.nu my personal use cases: 1) when modifying the parser code, run it before and after with the current apkindexes to show that either the result is the same or only has the wanted changes. 2) when I need to understand how pmbootstrap parses an APKINDEX to debug problems where it is relevant But apparently I haven't used it in a year either 😅 Maybe it is worth keeping as hidden action that doesn't pollute the --help output, but can be found in the docs? Or maybe we should just remove it.

Running a tiling WM on your phone sounds like a stupid idea... until you discover #Sxmo. The whole thing is simple but amazing - it takes one or two days to get used to it, but then you know it inside out. Thanks to the built-in extensibility and simple codebase, you can change everything to your liking. This interface and its skilled community have become a great asset in
the wider #linux smartphone ecosystem!
