Owning a Formula One team could be the next step for Saudi Arabia after sponsoring the sport and hosting a grand prix, according to the chairman of the kingdom's automobile and motorcycle federation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/16/more-sports/saudi-arabia-f1/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #saudiarabia #formulaone #pif #astonmartin #alpine

@postmarketOS's #postmarketos channel is *now* the second largest public IRC channel on @OFTC just behind @alpinelinux's #alpine-linux channel, which is *the* largest channel on OFTC.

Last day of an Alpine Course today and the guys are making the most of a poor visibility day in the Sierra Nevada mountains by practicing their new skills on an ascent of a buttress near the Refugio Poqueira.

I kind of wish there was a version of Alpine that was libc based - just for desktop NVIDIA support really.

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

It's funny how we will sometimes pass by a location a dozen times and not give it a second thought until the right light or conditions present.

While snowshoeing last week in the #Vancouver #Mountains I came to a spot freshly covered in snow, that I've never seen without its usual trail. I would never have thought to take a photo here had it not been for the fresh snowfall covering all indication that a path laid here.

I think it's about time I ditched Arch Linux for Gentoo. Arch has gotten easier and I've gotten bored with it. Once I've settled to Gentoo, I'd have Void Linux scratch my "Arch Linux" itch

I mean, I've already explored Linux distros with different inits. I don't think anything can stop me when I have Arch, Gentoo, and Artix wiki handy

Jack Doohan seems like a really good dude. I hope Alpine gives him a good chance.

It's stunning up in the Sierra Nevada mountains right now. Windchill is severe but it didn't stop these guys enjoying their third day of an Alpine Introduction Course.
