Audacity’s new major release makes it more like a proper digital workstation, Debian finally gets off the genAI fence and disappoints some of us, California exempts Linux from terrible age verification laws, and Asahi boots on M3 Macs. With guest host @randoming from Hybrid Cloud Show.

Andy recently wrote that product quality is proportional to attention and code quality is inversely proportional to pressure. Is he right?

I've been looking for a #WiFi networks channels analyzer app for the #Linux desktop, like those found on F-Droid (such as WiFiAnalyzer), and couldn't find one on Flathub.
Then, searching more broadly, I discovered that Daniel Nylander, oldtime Swedish translator in #GNOME, has built exactly such an app in recent months, in #Python + GTK4 + libadwaita!
I tried it out (just do "cd src/ && python app.py"), it works well.
Flatpak enthusiasts, see https://github.com/yeager/wifi-analyzer/issues/2

Screenshot of the WiFi Analyzer desktop application, showing a graph of 5 gigahertz WiFi networks shown as curves spread across a spectrum of channels. A detailed list of those networks is also shown below the graph, providing easily readable names, channel numbers, signal strength, encryption type, etc.
@oemb1905 @arcanechat #Android to #Android video call was good in #Deltachat.
Calls to and from linux/flatpak <-> Android was good, but you can't pick the webcam. Deltachat in #Linux (flatpak) only wanted to use my poor-quality built-in webcam, not the far-nicer USB webcam.
So iPadOS is the "stinker": it can initiate video calls, but not receive them. It's right up to date: v2.59.1
No stun/turn problems on my Deltachat server!
@pixelschubsi @arcanechat @Monal I have a #prosody #XMPP server still around. I started it temporarily.
Wouldn't you know it, same issue was found there: (freshly-installed) Monal in #iPadOS can **initiate** a successful video call, but cannot **receive** a call.
It's _almost as though_ #Apple is up to something evil, at the OS level, which is thwarting both Monal and #Deltachat from **receiving** calls.
It was the Dino (0.5.0-1, plain deb pkg) client in #Debian Trixie #Linux which I used on the other end. (And Dino also had the same issue as Deltachat: defaulted to wrong/worse webcam - but at least it was switchable to the better one in Dino)
Upgrade complete! We can now build pmOS #duranium images for more devices. Starting slow to monitor builder scalability, so only going to add a few more initially.
More devices mean more chances to try immutable #Linux on phones. More testers means faster bug spotting & feedback ❤
Which device do you want to test? Only pmOS supported devices with EFI boot can be added. Have another in mind that's not in the poll? Let us know!
The current list of devices/images is here: https://duranium.postmarketos.org/

Today I got a cheap OnePlus 6T for my #Linux phone experiments (I've already had a OnePlus 6 for 3 years). But didn't I brick it while flashing #PostmarketOS on it? Of course, I did. 🤦

If a casual chat about #Linux and #FOSS over a curry sounds fun, please come join us! Just reply to me by the end of 21 January so I know numbers for the booking.
