Took me like two days, but my SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX/Milk-V Jupiter 2 RV23 #RISCV chip can now run #Buildroot _with the OSS PowerVR driver from upstream #Mesa_ 👀

A screen showing a triangle rendered with Vulkan on the left and a benchmark output on the right - we're getting about 10 FPS

GLMark running on the same setup as picture 1; we're getting 100+ FPS here

Hi from a Milk-V Jupiter 2 (SpacemiT K3-powered, the first RV23 chip!)

Yay, the new Projects folder icon has landed on my system 🎉

Nautilus with the home folder selected. "Project" now has the icon visible.

Milk-V pls ship me my RISC-V boards 🙏🙏🙏

Arace shipping notice for a RISC-V board saying "Confirmed - We're preparing these items for shiping" on May 11

Bonus: High contrast mode screenshot because IMHO it kind of just looks cool!

Sessions in high-contrast mode; borders can be seen around each active element

I've waited so long for this!

#puregotk ’s new WIP GStreamer bindings now work on macOS too!

Here it is running #GNOME OS and rebuilding itself via BuildStream :) Will probably take a full day at least to actually finish but I'm curious if it can! Such a nice form factor, I wish the Neo was this small.

#Reflection (GTK) on macOS in comparison

List of pads in Reflections on macOS. It’s a simple pane view, no sidebar like on macOS

Felicitas Pojtinger@felicitas· Apr 25

Love the neat mockups and blur and surprising amount of customizability. It’s interesting how … traditional? macOS’ HIG is compared to e.g. GNOME. It’s quite a bit more complex, lots of states I never need to worry about on GNOME (e.g. resizable sidebars or enabling icon + text vs just text)

Menu to enable showing icons and text in the toolbar

The “Rename Pad” dialog with full blur etc. in action

Ported DarwinKit (Go AppKit etc. bindings) to macOS 26 tonight and switched the generator from scraping the web docs to just getting it from the SDK locally. Also hacked together a little clone of Reflection (just a dummy, no p2panda here) based on Go.

Proper macOS 26 menu bar with symbolic icons + dynamically hiding menu bar app

Sessions’ about menu (issues, community, source code, sponsors etc.)

About page because why not

Oh and one more - the tinting option!

Felicitas Pojtinger@felicitas· Apr 24

Some more #Sessions macOS port things. Damn icons on macOS have lots of configuration permutations …

Felicitas Pojtinger@felicitas· Apr 24

Managed to hack #Multiplex to use #p2panda (using the GObject bindings for Go) for it's P2P playback position sync. Was ... pretty painless? Lots of things left to do and UX feedback (discovery, showing other nodes etc.) to get from folks, but it just kind of ...

Two Multiplex windows - the one on the left and the one on the right both sync the video playback. Both have a toast saying "somebody joined the session".

Felicitas Pojtinger@felicitas· Apr 23

And just for reference, this is how the app looks like on #GNOME (I prefer this to the native macOS app honestly once it's in it's native habitat)

Sessions in it's default state on GNOME 50

Also, for good measure I made a port for macOS pre-Tahoe (so no Liquid Glass). Looks quite a bit more similar to the GNOME version!

The GTK version on the left, the native version on the right. It’s no longer translucent

The menu again for the pre-Tahoe version

Sessions (pre-Tahoe) as a menu bar app again

Anyways, here is a port of #Sessions (on the left - GTK/libadwaita) to AppKit/macOS 26 with DarwinKit (Golang, too!). Pretty damn close, but there are def. differences around margins, the size of buttons etc. between macOS and GNOME for sure.

Sessions (GTK) on the left with large paddings. The native port on the right has less padding.

The menu for sessions which shows the shortcuts too

Check this out, KDE Connect/Valent can now remote control Android notifications showing Multiplex controls via MPRIS. Even seeking works. If you seek it even updates the position for your friend watching the movie with you on their computer somewhere else in the world!

MPRIS! Ladies and gentlemen, we have MPRIS!

Look at this neat overlay hehe

The controls in the media player overlapping the video playback

Felicitas Pojtinger@felicitas· Apr 23

Some neat #puregotk & #GStreamer hacks I've been exploring: #Multiplex , which allows you to do torrent watchparties with your friends & share the positions, playback etc. P2P, now has an initial version that uses GStreamer to play back the video in the app itself! No more need for MPV :)

Nothing to see here, just a MacBook Neo and a GNOME OS laptop talking to each other via the #p2panda #GObject bindings for #Go . They even found each other via mDNS! (Needed a 5 line patch to the Rust build config, but that's it - everything just kind of works!)

A MacBook Neo on the left and a Dell XPS 13 on the right with terminal windows open. On the left is a source code snippet and chat window, on the right is the same chat window except on the XPS 13.

Damn, I fell for graph 1) again. Turns out that data centre capex actually isn't all that unusual?

First chart that makes it seem like DC spend is more than anything else in history

Second chart that takes into account GDP, which makes it much more realistic

New thing: Initial support for GStreamer in #puregotk , completely CGo-free!

#p2panda 's GObject library running inside of Flatpak, called from #puregotk (Golang) - and it all kind of just works, including mDNS discovery?
