My friend @vvzen wrote up a much more clever and sophisticated version of a #hack I did many years ago to alter the opening splash screen art of $7000 professional #VFX software.

It's a great read and explanation across #cpp , #docker #qt and our old friend #LD_PRELOAD. Nice to have some fun in the #vfxpipeline mines.

When I've got a second I'm going to recreate this setup for my original target, #nuke!

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (commerce.jolla.com/products/jo) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

Yup. It's *because* it's so valuable in so many ways that I get so frustrated with the ways that it's terrible.

There are people on there actively fighting against the whole idea of neurodiversity and doing their best to prevent autistic people being listened to about autism, but it's hardly like it's the only place that's happening.

Sauropods.winmyrmepropagandist (@futurebird@sauropods.win)Everything wrong with the Wikipedia is something that is just generally wrong with working with humans. My experience with the Wikipedia included being harassed white nationalists because I edited their creepy "Race and IQ" article. A very ugly experience. I did not feel supported or protected by "the wikipedia community" -- Despite this, I STILL think it's one of the best resources on the internet. That Mr. Musk wants to destroy it only makes me more confident this is correct.

So only 15% of the people responding to this poll have ever seen a medical professional about their autism, aside from during the diagnosis process.

It's fascinating to me that some people are still so attached to the medical model of autism, when medical professions - and by extension, I would suggest, the whole medical perspective - seemingly have so little to offer autistic people.

Autistics Life CommunityFergus Murray (@Ferrous@autistics.life)I've been thinking about how autism is considered a medical condition... but how many of us have ever seen a medical professional about our autism, except in the process of being diagnosed? Have you? If so, who? (Would appreciate sharing for wider reach) #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe [ ] yes, I have [ ] no, I haven't [ ] not sure
