My GitLab profile's readMe.MD states:
Hello. My first name is Roke, and I always shall, and have been since I gained my first computer, a software developer. I specialize in OS architectures and GUI consistency, accessibility, and ease of use.
That's why it's considered good practice to act on the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

Can/does PMOS function alongside TWRP?
I'd like to install PMOS onto my Fairphone 5, because TWRP recently became available for it. However, the comments and post above this Reddit comment appear to demonstrate that the PMOS installer might overwrite all partitions (A and B, but also Recovery), if I've understood it correctly.
Has anyone used both together? If so, can you confirm whether it functions (as expected)?
What's the easiest way to make a device easier to port?
Q&A for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems
After researching why current consumer and embedded ARM (and, to a lesser extent, embedded RISC-V) devices are difficult to port to, the primary reason appears to be device discovery and driver support.
Obviously, extracting proprietary drivers from a potentially outdated AOSP-based OS version with a probably quite outdated kernel and getting that to run in mainline is a lot of work.
However, getting device trees shouldn't be, and really shouldn't be necessary, since they're not something that a manufacturer would hope close to their chest, unlike complex driver software.
Consequently, I would like to request to Fairphone – considering their mission statement – that they provide device trees and enumerable busses (if they don't) but would like to verify here that I wouldn't look like a moron asking for the wrong thing.
I hope this makes sense.
Is it FOSS? I'm having a difficult time locating its source.

No, I had not. That's certainly novel.

A few weeks ago, VSCode began to constantly recreate tabs. Notably, they are always considered to have been modified, so I have to confirm their closure.
I initially thought that the undermentioned log might be the cause:

How to debug flatpak without creating new user data?
As https://github.com/orgs/PrismLauncher/discussions/2550#discussion-6847972 explains, I'm trying to debug https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/random-indefinite-system-hang-and-crash/110020/1#related-issues-3 using flatpak run --command=sh --devel org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher and gdb /app/bin/prismrun. However, so that I can ensure that its environment matches mine, and so that I don't have to do an absurd amount of configuration each time I try to debug, I'd like to not have it create an entirely new userdata storage each time I debug.

Those criticisms seem reasonable. Regarding package signing, are you referring to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/613#issuecomment-134361033? Additionally, that default for pip seems veritably insane. I understand using system packages, but modifying packages outside the virtual environment is definitely weird.
How to access internal storage via USB?
Having ascertained https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-capture-a-screenshot-in-plasma-mobile/15070/2?u=rokejulianlockhart, I'd like to be able to transfer screenshots off my Plasma Mobile device.
- I try to access it via KDE Plasma 6's Disks & Devices plasmoid (widget):
- However, all I see is:
Weirdly, it's acting like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486594#c0.
I ask because I'd like to upload screenshots to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1895116#c1, and ascertain whether it affects https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/webflash/-/is
Can you elaborate?
I used it yesterday, via Pidgin. I'm [email protected]. Why else would I have referenced it? Don't tell me what I've done. That's not a way to have productive conversations.
Regardless, I can't provide any more technical insight than that - I know solely that the clients provide so much more functionality that irrespective of the protocol, it's better in practice. Fedora, openSUSE, the Bundeswehr, NATO, and Beeper - all chose Matrix over XMPP, not least partially because of Element (which they also all chose).
I don't believe that its existence causes more fragmentation than it remediates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939482 explains why I consider Matrix fundamentally superior most (if not all) uses, although in practice it's because the clients (Element and FluffyChat primarily) are cross-platform and support a generally uniform set of features, in comparison to the aged (but glorious) Pidgin, and its counterparts.
Its bridges are FOSS, but its client (an Element fork) doesn't appear to be.
Yeah, my experience with Element and a Matrix.org account is that it's sluggish. However, it's been better at Beeper, so I'm uncertain whether it's intrinsic to Matrix or merely Matrix.org and/or Element's servers.
Where did you get that from? I haven't found a relevant blog post.
I wish FreeDesktop would standardize CLIs taking their application colours from the user theme so that colourblindness is catered for.
Why is that preferable over Matrix?
The navigation bar disappearing and the mobile data connection needing manual re-enablement affects me too. I don't think anyone has posted about them on the forum yet, though.
If only CalyxOS supported the Google Play Store, I would use that.
If you're buying good cables, they shouldn't be unlabelled.
Yep, on the Forum they're nowhere to be found, usually. I'm the reporter of the screen ghosting issue. Have you tried Support though? They offered me an RMA.
