Someone at the gym remarked on my "strange phone" this morning.
I think I might be the only person with wired earbuds, I hadn't noticed until today. For the past 15 years, I've used this little audio recorder as music player, I see a lot of people scrolling feeds between their sets instead of taking a moment to actually breath. Honestly, I think this is a better way to enjoy music while working out.
Anyone know if there's a way to turn off noddy mode on the newer Firefox builds please?
I don't want to be told "Looks like there’s a problem with this site", I want it to say "500" or "connection refused", etc.
Y'know, like it used to, when it was more useful.
(Please don't tell me not to use Firefox, it's in my workflow for this project and I don't have time to stand up a new toolchain right now.)

Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber? This post from @carnage4life has me questioning our community. The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction, the product improvements are increasing, The #UX is improving, yet people posting on multiple platforms are making comments like this. It's confusing.
I *know* people here don't want this to be a classic social media-clone but we'd *like* journalists to be here right? They aren't coming with examples like this!
As this conversation is spiraling a bit I want to make a few things clear:
1. I'd like Mastodon to be MORE inclusive and bring in more voices
2. Some people don't seem to want that
3. This is core problem to solve: How do we let more in, but not "pollute" your feed?
4. The solution is NOT "gatekeeping", revelling in the fact that AI journalists aren't welcome
5. This is the same reason we lost "Black Twitter" when it came over in 2022
Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining Mastodon, any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.
@Gargron That is a personal choice and one which I totally respect. But I do think Mastodon should be big enough, and open enough, to allow an "AI community" to form, even thrive.
Too many people in my replies don't seem to agree with that.
@Gargron I just came back to my Mastodon account and one of the first things I see is people who have an interest in something being compared to puppy-killers by the "head" of Mastodon.
<turns it back off again>
Off on holiday for a week so won’t be anything on @gamingonlinux next week.
See you on the other side 👋

April 1st is over.
However, we really do want to port Haiku to the RK356x.
In fact, there is progress on porting Haiku to arm64 and it seems to be making good progress: discuss.haiku-os.org/t/arm64-p…
We have NO PLANS to deprecate our ALARM-based Linux distro. 🙂
Arm64 port for Haiku
Hi there, I have start to work on an arm64 port for Haiku and the end goal is full RPI5 support. It will be interesting to see how far we can go.So far I got a minimal arm64 desktop image working in qemu: A screenshot from qemu.Haiku Community
We want to port Haiku to the RK356x platform 🙂It's a long term plan but once Haiku port for RK356x is done and ready, we'll:
- Deprecating our ALARM-based Linux distro in favor of Haiku.
- All new PineTab2 will ship with Haiku instead of traditional ALARM-based Linux distro.
- Existing users will still remain on ALARM, however there'll not be any updates (user will receive "there is nothing to do" when they tried to update it)
The Vampire Rabbit of Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne is best known for its proud history of industry and invention, its famous football club, and its vibrant nightlife. Many people who walk the busy streets of the Toon, are unfamiliar with its dark side: real life witch trials, public execution and dissection, and of course, the vampire rabbit.
Unlike the former two very dark tales from Newcastle, the Vampire Rabbit is of a lighter order. More of an interesting conversation piece for those who seek it out or come across it by accident...

Like solar, wind is also broadly distributed. I'm still awaiting an effective home wind turbine. Even at 0.1 kWh production it would make a difference at home, in addition to reducing pressure on the grid and its associated infrastructure costs.

Before I had the Tangara, I was using one of those mini audio recorders for a few years. Unfortunately, couldn't fix it when it broke, which was a major part of why I went with the tangara as a replacement 😀
Those things are surprisingly good, and I'm regularly the only person in the gym with a wire 😀
