Time to let the cat out of the bag.

I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)

This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?

users -- what do you use for a Phone Dock? Right now I am using my USB-C hub but it's difficult to keep the phone upright when I have the keeb and mouse attached

The orb itself was designed and built by a handful of people responsible for the actual Steam Deck hardware – some folks who work on the device itself and some who work primarily in the prototyping/fabrication workshop (and some Steam Deck clips made by an accessory designer on Reddit). The networking was a collab between people in the IT group and help from Steam networking (including a couple old retired switches from Steam and a rackmount case from an old Dota event).

Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "maps.google.com" to "google.com/maps".

Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers.

@pixelfed Does the social network push out notifications by email? If not I wouldn't mind composite emails of the notifications or the option to be notified of activity on

I thought that made sense in after hundreds of millions of trees were killed due to the bark beatle invasive species the last few years.

I trusted fellow humans would show intelligence and not have controlled burns 365 days a year on windy days and only when it was sane, boy was I wrong, turns out many humans optimize profits over intelligence, safety and ethics. Sad.

I wish that file managers like and would thumbnail files based on their File Unique ID and not path, I have 150GB on 650 files from my photo shoot and the thumbnail generation takes a lot of resources where the thumbnail is thrown out when I rename the directory, or move the file into a sub-directory which can take 10 minuets just to create thubmbnails.

Also, when someone makes a thumbnailer to automatically thumbnail paths let me know as it would really speed up my workflow to have the thumbnails ready to go when I enter the directory.

Decided to make a new demo video for niri, finally. The last one was so old that niri didn't even have cursors implemented, it showed an orange rectangle instead. 🫠

Here's the link again for the curious: github.com/YaLTeR/niri

Very happy I've come this far writing my own compositor from scratch. Honestly thought my motivation would only last for two weeks max, but here we are. :blobcattea:

Learned a ton in the process, and now this experience helps me with Mutter & Shell profiling.

I was able to get app to open via flatpak, it would start with a black sceen, and then when I clicked switch app the Librem 11 front light would come on and after about 10 seconds it would snap a quick image before freezing.

It didn't save that image. But I was able to take a screenshot to show the quality comparison between and `gnome-snapshot`

I also tried to load camera app, but it said
`Could not read device name from device tree. Could not find any config file.`

I decided to break out my commentary on the audio into it's own 2nd post (see profile). I also created a 3rd post where I decided to take 4 indoor example photos -- 2 with the front camera, and 2 with the back camera.

camera app for has pretty bad ms feedback for pretty much any webcam I've used, even the $200 logitech 4k cameras. And of course I doubt if there is a color profile added to these photos, maybe something that will change with the new Gnome Snapshot app.

Overall again, I am pleased, having a hobbyist farmiliarity with photography I am sure that this thing would shoot some great photos during the day, indoors and outdoor under more optimal cloudy lighting conditions.

I will definately be keeping an eye on what cameras are in Generation II devices in the space, but until then this will do just fine for me like if I want to do a video call or whatnot.

Maybe I'll take those other example photos tomorrow if I remember.
