Here's an idea, America. Maybe make it safer and easier to raise a family if you want more people to do it. If I was 20 years old and just starting out in life, I'd either move to a more medically and socially advanced country or get a vasectomy. I would not have children here. #QT tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/1143

LXQt 2.2 Released with Enhanced Wayland Support | @linuxiac

｢ The team has addressed a long-standing quirk in multi-screen setups by adopting screen names instead of screen numbers — a necessary shift, as Wayland does not define a “primary screen” in the traditional sense ｣

Just for fun I'm writing an #ILBM impl. for #Qt (QImageIOPlugin). I'm having trouble with the PCHG chunk. Any #Amiga dev/hobbyist here who might have a clue what's wrong? My code:
parsing: github.com/panzi/qilbm/blob/42
rendering: github.com/panzi/qilbm/blob/42
sample file: sembiance.com/fileFormatSample
Other impl. I've looked at and can't finde the difference to:
aminet.net/package/dev/misc/PC (includes 2 images that *do* work)
fossies.org/linux/netpbm/conve line 1596 and onward, which is used by #ImageMagick. #RetroComputing

The way https://sembiance.com/fileFormatSamples/image/iffILBM/pchgcmp.iff should look like.
My broken rendering of it.

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (commerce.jolla.com/products/jo) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.
