Steam controller on the #pinephone works

What is the most interesting "fringe" #Wayland compositor for you at the moment. Specifically excluding #sway, #KDE (kwin) and #Gnome (mutter) because they are very well established and popular. Comments and boosts appreciated (would love to see more Wayland related content in the Fediverse) 😸

After the city of #Barcelona and the Parliament of #Asturias now the Municipality of #Benigànim, #Spain, commits to the principles of our #publiccode campaign by publishing any publicly financed software development as #FreeSoftware. They also plan to gradually switch to Free Software in all municipal facilities.

France bans Dutch bike TV ad for creating 'climate of fear' - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jul/01/france-bans-dutch-bike-tv-ad-for-creating-climate-of-fear pathetic

In International Maritime Flag Signals, this yellow/blue flag (aside from just being the letter "K") means "I want to communicate with you".

I just thought that was kind of cute.

Holy shit you guys! The #EU has adopted a standard to measure how repairable something is!

https://de.ifixit.com/News/35879/repairability-standard-en45554

This means the path is now clear to make actual laws requiring companies to make their products repairable.

Hey Follower,
wir haben 12 iMacs 21,5" aus Mitte 2011 geschenkt bekommen.
Wir bekommen auf das Gerät kein Linux drauf. Verbaut ist eine Radeon HD6450M Grafikkarte
Was wir bisher gemacht haben:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS mit nomodeset option = freeze im grafikinstaller
Manjaro 18.0 XFCE bleibt in der Console hängen

Offensichtlich passt was mit den Treibern von der Grafikkarte nicht.
Wir freuen uns auf Hinweise 😅

Great to be writing (and sketching) out in the wild again... With #Pinebook Pro @ThePine64 and #Manjaro #Xfce

Hey fediverse!

I'm looking for some motivated computer programmers to learn and collaborate with.

I am the sole developer at my job, and the (mostly) sole developer for all of my side projects; and to be frank, I've been lonely.

My goals are to further study mathematics and computer programming fundamentals in order to become a true professional and not just some "guy who makes webapps". I want to contribute meaningfully to my field and the world.

Feel free to boost, dm, and share links.
