Day 5
Uneventful. And isn't that what we want? I haven't rebooted since I have arrived. I might reboot tomorrow as #snapshot seems to be ... having some blinking screen issues. #megapixels seems to be working now though lol... I want to build megapixels 2.0... but... might need to upgrade and everyone is telling me not to...
#sxmo #pixel3a #postmarketos #pmos #linuxphones @linuxphones @linuxphones #tui
Megapixels 2.0, properly compiled, and Highscore work correctly by specifying the environment variable related to the MESA GL version as follows:
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2
Following my request one and a half months ago: https://mstdn.social/@theDarky/114415107294340361
By adding the following line to my #Mobian configuration:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main
And by installing the experimental versions of the mesa Vulkan package:
sudo apt -t experimental install mesa-vulkan-drivers

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (13/2025): Crossing Platforms, Breaking Barriers
They said #XMPP was connected to #xampu, so I made some! 
Hair is personal. Messaging should be too 
The owner of Beeja Botanicals is my former classmate, and she's used the shampoo herself, so I know it's good! The first batch is ready and will be available for purchase at #PravConf (or will be, once I've finished wrapping it all 
)
PS: flyer designed with #Inkscape, and photo taken with #Megapixels on #Mobian on the #PocoF1! 
![Flyer. Full text follows, along with a description of accompanying images:
[The XMPP logo] Introducing xampu, the XMPP themed shampoo bar!
What if your shampoo brand forced you to hang out only with people who use the same brand of shampoo? [Two people with focus lines on their hair. A lightning bolt strikes between them]
We think such restrictions are as absurd for messaging apps as they would be for hair products. [Similarly, two speech bubbles with a lightning bolt betwixt]
XMPP is a common language (protocol) that different chat services can use to talk to each other. [Image of many connected speech bubbles]
[Green banner saying] XMPP stands for "eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol". Since both those are a mouthful, people in Brazil have taken to affectionately pronouncing it xampu—which means shampoo.
[A rabbit] This shampoo bar by Beeja Botanicals is hand made using natural ingredients. It is free from harmful products like SLS and paraben, and contains no animal-tested products.
Like making your own shampoo, running your own chat server allows you to address local ethical and technical issues—more privacy? solar powered? larger upload size? integrated login?—that matter to you.
Not everyone has the time and energy to make shampoo, or to run their own XMPP server. Proceeds from this shampoo bar will go towards funding Prav, which operates XMPP services so you don't have to. [A pigeon]

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (52/2024): The Last One of the Year
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-52-2024/
With: #postmarketOS 24.12, #Danctnix, #UbuntuTouch, # SailfishOS, #Sxmo, #Megapixels and more #LinuxMobile fun!
First photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S III on #postmarketOS, probably! Credits to Jack Kekzoz, @martijnbraam, and whoever else helped him with getting #Megapixels working on the Midas (Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II) devices — I'm just posting about this, I didn't work on it myself. Hopefully we'll have it available in Edge over the coming months.

@PierreBucheli Not sure about #Megapixels, but on the #libcamera side there's quite a bit of work on the ISP (rkisp1) implementation (see https://patchwork.libcamera.org/project/libcamera/list/). So the 0.4 release will have some nice stuff, possibly even tuning data for the PPP specifically.
Not sure if #manjaro has the #libcamera + #Pipewire combi set up by default (#postmarketos and #mobian do) - if it has, you can just run #gnome camera / snapshot or a bunch of other apps (kamoso on #kde) to give it a try.
Camera section started with what I have (not much for now ;))
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo:Pixel3a#Camera
I might want to dig into this when I'm ok with calls ... don't know yet if i'll go #megapixels or gnome-snapshot ...
Here's postprocessd from #megapixels applying lens distortion and vignetting correction (the wrong values to make it more visible when testing)
This should help a lot with image quality
On the #pinephone it's still quite laggy - especially compared to #megapixels. But oh well 
All devices use 1080p resolutions btw. - if you count odd ones like 1280x1080 (or 1080x1280...) as such.
#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.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (19/2024): Shift-ing to mainline
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (06/2024): More #FOSDEM talks and releases of #pmbootstrap and #Megapixels
The 9th #megapixels update post. Probably the last one this year :p
https://blog.brixit.nl/megapixels-2-0-dng-loading-and-whitebalancing/
Pushed some documentation for libdng now :)
https://libdng.me.gapixels.me/
This continues the process of splitting of parts of #megapixels into libraries to make it easier to work with.
After a short pause I had some good laughs at the expense of IT failures (mostly from austria, but it's not like it's any better in germany) which was presented by @leyrer 
Sadly I didn't get to introduce myself in person to @leyrer as he always looked so busy and I didn't want to interrupt.
maybe next time! 
I sat down again at the #Debian booth, hacked a little on https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipixels/-/merge_requests/107
so that my pictures #ShotOnLibrem5 would be orientated correctly (soon).
