Today, I'm embarking on a trip to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Taiwan with @ubahnverleih@chaos.social and @robbi5@mastodon.social! 🇭🇰🇨🇳🇹🇼

Do I have any followers there who might want to meet up? Or any recommendations on what to do/see/eat?

Ohh, what's this? A real #Linux for smartphones?

Running a recent mainline kernel, even though the hardware is almost 10 years old?

An alternative to #Android that's gaining a lot of traction?

Developed in the open by an international community? Sounds too good to be true!

I'd like to design my first free-form stickers (for @teamtype@fosstodon.org) – has someone ever managed to produce proper print files for that using open-source software like Inkscape or Scribus?

Specifically, it seems the print shops want a "100% purple" outline in a "named spot color" on its own "PDF layer".

(I'm not really interested in how you would do this in proprietary software.)

Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" project, that developed a low-cost computer for children in developing countries? I was always amazed by a certain feature: The "View Source" button.

When you pressed it, the source code for the currently running application would open. This was supposed to encourage tinkering with the software on your device! <3

I've been pondering what it would take to build that button on modern machines. Has anyone seen something like that?

(Prototype in next toot.)

Here's a thread of cool things I found exploring the #Firefox Developer Tools!

First, a really convenient thing: You can "pop out" the Toolbox into a separate window!

To do this, open the Toolbox (using F12), click on the ellipsis menu on the right, and select "Separate Window".

I like this much better than the default "docked" modes, especially when using a scrolling window manager like #niri!

I was wondering what would happen if you played Newton Wars (aka Gravitational Combat), but had a full visualization showing you which target/planet you would hit when shooting in that direction with that force!

So I wrote a #glsl shader to figure that out, and it's really pretty! :rainbow_heart_eyes:

This is how it works: If you hover over a red pixel in the diagram, you can be sure you'll hit the red planet! The lightness is how soon you'll hit it.

Over the last couple of evenings, I put together a prototype for editing a @hedgedoc@fosstodon.org document from Neovim! 🎉

This involved forking the rust-socketio crate to add support for Socket.IO 2.x, slightly extending our @ethersync@fosstodon.org editor plugin, and writing some "connecting glue".

Not quite ready to publish – but would this be interesting/useful for any of you?

EDIT: In the long run, this would support any editor that has a plugin speaking the Ethersync Protocol, see https://ethersync.github.io/ethersync/editor-plugin-dev-guide.html :)
