Zig + GTK4 + libadwaita + Flatpak 😅

For now I still feel like I'm missing out on destructors (or something like Rust's drop trait) to allow implementing higher level memory management types. As it stands there's no way to communicate ownership of memory returned from a function, besides documentation.

Enjoying writing Zig code so far. I find it makes me think about memory allocations a lot more than the equivalent code in "modern" C++, which feels like extra friction but is probably resulting in a better program

Someday I will toot again 🤔

Been watching It's A Sin. It's good so far but really bleak

need to be more gay on the internet

Any #librem5 folks know how quick the GPS fix is (or specifically whether A-GPS works on the Librem)?

So far a big limitation in making a location based app on PinePhone is how painfully long GPS takes, although I've seen some workarounds that I need to try.

Reached level 100 Ring Fitness today 😁

A bit more experimenting with the #PinePhone app (no, I'm not actually standing in a field)

It's actually a long time since I had something break on a Linux desktop (unless I broke something by screwing around with it).

I don't mind too much having to fix things like that, it's just disappointing since it's way beyond anything an average user should be expected/able to deal with, esp. on a supposedly stable LTS release, without anything really custom about it.

Used an old kernel, re-ran apt updates, purged and reinstalled nvidia drivers, manually added the kernel module for the ethernet, and everything *seems* fine 🤷

Regardless of what caused it (Nvidia?), still having a Windows partition around is the only thing that allowed me to work this morning 😭

Booted my Ubuntu computer this morning, which I use for work, both the graphics driver and networking have stopped working. Not sure what would have caused it 😐

Just a test app so far, but it's going to be an exercise tracker (like Strava or Runkeeper) if I can clean up the data from the PinePhone GPS enough!

New year, new side project? 🤔 #PinePhone #Librem5
