Matrix, via Element.

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)?

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Obviously, extracting proprietary drivers from a potentially outdated AOSP-based OS version with a probably quite outdated kernel and getting that to run in mainline is a lot of work.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.

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.

  1. I try to access it via KDE Plasma 6's Disks & Devices plasmoid (widget):

  2. However, all I see is:

    Screenshot_20240505_041605|689x170

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/-/issues/2#note_1892953259.

Why is that preferable over Matrix?

exFAT supports R&W between approximately Linux 3+, Windows 8+, and Android 13+. It should also support macOS. NTFS is significantly more reliable and functional, but only supports R&W on specific Android apps, is read-only on macOS, but is perfectly usable on new versions of Linux, and Windows 7+.

I can see 34, yet can't see them.

I just only buy the best 240W USB4 USB-C cables. They have the correct markings on them – "40Gbps" and "240W". No issues identifying them.

That was for Apple.

You should have just linked to the page. It would have embedded the image, right?

The UK used to have that. This year, 98-99% of NHS dentists shut down or became private. Conservatives, eh?

It unfortunately depends much upon the community/person administrating the repository. If I'm worried about that, I tend to just make a post in /Discussion linking to my private fork.

That's reasonable, but why did that cause you to instruct me to call me random names? I don't see the context for that, nor the rationale.
