Mozilla has a new revenue stream that might actually work, GNOME OS gets closer to a stable release, Raspberry Pi OS for x86 machines returns, and Amazon has expensive new Android tablets that have the Play Store. Plus hacking old Echo Dots to work with Home Assistant, building ad blocking lists, and unbricking an M1 Mac with Linux in discoveries.

I'm still drinking from the firehose and catching up on all things @gnome. But I have to give heaps of praise to the creators of this Gnome 51 release video. It is flawless! Incredible production and pristine level of polish.

There are a few reviews of the MNT Pocket Reform online. This is mine, from someone who can't see the keys.

I love this little machine and use it almost constantly. Getting there took custom keyboard firmware, a talking OLED menu, a fight with the audio stack and a C header file I still open to find my own keys.

Hey #Linux folks using laptops. I have installed #debian on an Apple MacBook circa 2015. When this thing ran MacOS, I could close the lid with a full battery and it would stay suspended for days at a time. Now that I'm running Linux on it, it runs the battery down in hours (less than 24) when I suspend.

What's the trick? I'm using KDE Plasma, if that matters.

Please don't give any suggestions that:

• Suggest a different Linux distro. I'm not interested.
• Suggest not using KDE. That's not the question.
• Recommend something you've never tried on Debian/Ubuntu or one of those variants.

@stefano I thought, silently, of many things when I moved from the Cafe.

A single-user instance was amongst my thoughts. It's a possibility, however I can't imagine it becoming a priority.

I'm more interested in spending my "IT" time on stuff that's directly related, or adjacent, to FreeBSD.

As in, it has the option of applying multiple labels to a message (rather than converting labels to folders)?

I know most people are aware on how Linux can save old hardware, but here's to the folks that like to complain that GNOME is "bloated" and "runs poorly":

Today I salvaged this old laptop from going to the junk, added an old 4GB RAM stick I had, popped the GNOME OS Nightly USB I had to test it just to know what the specs were on this thing, and well... the screen is dying a slow and painful death but damn, this runs really, really well for a 13 year old chip that was already close to e-waste by the time it was produced and a just as old and slow HDD.

I obviously won't keep using it as desktop due to the screen, but I'm baffled at the optimization work that is going on these days that enables this to be actully smooth and usable on hardware this bad.

I have made a survey about showing icons on your desktop and how it should behave when screen changes. I would hope as many replies as possible! You don't need to use KDE Plasma to reply to this survey! It should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

Switching to @netbsd from Linux has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things I have done in the tech world in years.

All of it. The community, the software, reading blogs again to get something to work, joining forums, joining IRC channels. Absolutely all of it.

I'm actually finding joy in tech again.
