@blendergeek android isn't real Linux.

at least not what ships on production phones of the ~2017 era

you're talking 5+ million LoC added to the kernel, and a requirement to run proprietary blobs in userspace for hardware to work.

to be "a linux" i think you need to at least pass the smell test and Android does not

@cas @craftyguy iced? is that a coincidence? https://github.com/iced-rs/iced

In case you didn't notice, the U-Boot Secondary Program Loader (SPL) amlogic S905(X) support patches are now in U-Boot next!

I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone who got involved in this effort, I believe it was a collaborative effort and many people contributed to reach this goal. I'd be lying if I said it was a one-person effort. :)

No matter if it's small things like some hints on how things work, or writing the whole mkimage amlogic handling, or pointing me to old Amlogic u-boot sources, or taking the time to review my patches (suggesting cleanups along the way that, in retrospect, just made the patch series a lot cleaner), or offering to expense money on boards, or donating them, or just quickly testing on a few boards, or even just encouraging me to continue working on this, it all matters a lot to me and I think without any of that we probably wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Back years ago a U-Boot SPL port to replace the proprietary bl2.bin blob was unheard of, I never thought we'd go this far!

So thank you so much for your help, no matter how small, it really did and still does mean a lot to me.

❤️

With that I'm ready for what's happening next :D

Because unlike commercial social media, fediverse doesn't attempt to silo you with people in the same linguistic & geopolitical bubble to make you more lucrative to advertisers and less of a threat to nationalists.

Vondelkerk in Amsterdam is burning down, neighbourhood is being evacuated 😞

Help from neighbouring cities was called in because the local firefighters were also very busy with people being assholes with fireworks 😒

Gotta wonder if the two are related, heh.

@danct12 @imrehg on rk3588 h265 works really well I think. VP9 however doesn't.

This year I have exclusive buckets for the four particulate matter sizes. That means e.g. PM2.5 does not include PM1, which better allows understanding the intensity of the various particle sizes.

We're just shy of 5pm now, and you can clearly observe that people already started launching their fireworks here and there.

Avoid writing text that has every letter alternating between uppercase and lowercase. This is difficult for sighted readers to comprehend, especially users with reading or cognitive disabilities. Screen readers won't know to read this, so it will often be gibberish.
