RT LukeShortCloud: #Valve hid my comment about my #winesapOS project. Guess they really don't want the community and myself trying out #SteamOS 3 unless you bought a #SteamDeck. All the packages are out there. #Linux is supposed to be free and #opensource. 🤷‍♂️

Free speech is not to blame for the spread of misinformation and hate online, and limiting free speech is not a solution.

The solution is holding Big Tech accountable.

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:

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 🙋‍♀️
