I decided to stop doing 16MB upgrades.

My guess is: when Intel made the sandybridge and ivybridge platforms (upon which X220 and X230 thinkpads are based), they *wanted* the 2x8MB setup to work, but it was buggy and due to time constraints, they never fixed it.

Which makes sense. 16MB would have been expensive then.

TO BE CLEAR: internal flashing *only* breaks if doing the 2x8MB method for 16MB flash.

If you did the "proper" 1x16MB method (which is actually seen on some machines in the wild, such as T430S), internal flashing works perfectly.

I consider lack of ability to flash internally to be a bug. If it requires external flashing, then that's not a usable config.

The good news is, current 16MB ROMs in osboot do support the 1x16MB setup. And 2x8MB works but is merely buggy. I shall retain it in osboot.

I've discovered a bug on X230. I discovered a week ago for 16MB flash, you can remove resistors and both IC (see table. DY means "do not place") & do 1 big 16MB chip. OR 2x8MB (just replace 4MB SPI2 with 8MB) via modified IFD but today I realized: internal flashing stops working.

2x8MB *works* but it's not officially supported, and breaks internal flashing. In other words: if 2x8MB, you must always flash externally.

The normal method with resistors DY and 1 big 16MB chip is too time consuming.

I'm happy to unveil a new picture of Freedo, the mascot of GNU Linux-libre. The picture is called Bath Time:

Freedo cleans Tux.

I'm installing #LinuxMint #Debian Edition 5 (beta) on a MacBook Air (2013). #macOS couldn't be upgraded to the latest version and some things in the web browser were not working correctly.

The owner of this laptop only used it for web browsing and listening to podcasts and videos, but that stopped working correctly due to the browser being out dated.

This is a problem that I have run into with other MacBooks, too. #Linux to the rescue!

New blog post!🎊🎊

This is probably the question we’ve been asked the most at Penpot so Andrey Antukh made this great article about: "Penpot chose Clojure as its language and here’s why"

Read it and let us know your thoughts 🙋‍♀️

@waronmorons

We're aiming for a release a few weeks after Ubuntu 22.04 is released next month. Risk of a date skip: medium.

@RegolithL When 2.0 is going to be released? Should I hold back with giving 1.6 a go, or is there enough time to get acquainted with Regolith at all?

Actors are the dumbest people in the world.

Read about today's talks: Command Line tools for design, Replicant, Opening keynote with artist collective Hundred Rabbits, and closing Keynote with Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF, and more! https://u.fsf.org/3iv

From today's final keynote: Zoë said that she has "an endless amount of examples and reasons to believe that free software is the way forward, worth protecting, and something we need to make sure people understand how to fight for."

Added keyboard case support to the Powersupply app

Another problem: what should we say when referring to proprietary software?

Many people, especially in the west, view "proprietary" as a good thing. They see "property" and think you don't own free software (yet, you do own your copy).

I propose the term "restricted software".
