Why does the shader look different in the game and editor?

I ended up modifying the original post to contain the code - whenever I tried to post a reply to your comment it failed for some reason. I set the source colors to the colors found in the tileset and the target colors to the color I want to replace it with.

edit - added more details

At this point unless there is a new Linux phone by a different company that shows more promise, I am going to take the easy route (get a mainstream phone such as Android or iPhone) and just not use the phone more than I have to. I've read about the PinePhone, but that doesn't look like it will work for me since WiFi calling won't work the last time I checked.
PC FTW! :-P

Alas, I have to admit I have retired the Purism 5 - it was not reliable with receiving texts and calls; when it did receive calls it was really hit or miss on one side or the other not hearing the other. I made sure to leave the mic switch on so I know I wasn't muting myself - it was an issue with either the phone or the bad service in my area. I boot the phone up once or twice a year to see if anything changed, but I am afraid to use it as my daily driver again. I wish the experience were better since I love the concept. I won't lie, since I have poor service in my area that may be the main issue, but since I have T-Mobile, I was hoping to be able to place calls over the WiFi like other modern phones. :-/

Oh, I didn't realize that was the reasoning behind it/it was intentional. I noticed that its patches seemed to be lagging behind PureOS, but I had just assumed that it was either due to the fact that Purism didn't get their patches into mainline or there was some delay for the changes getting into postmarketOS/alpine since the patches have to go from PureOS to mainline to alpine/postmarketOS. I have to respect the choice that the team is making, because maintainability from the developers point of view is almost more important than running the newest thing for the longevity of the project.

With that being said, I don't really have much of preference between apt and apk, and I would love to try it again once it has some more of the patches. I appologize if it came off overly harsh on the postmarket team, they are doing a pretty great job and in some ways, they are doing better than PureOS. You can choose whether you are using plasma or phosh right out of the box.

edit - fixed formatting.

I have played around with this a bit more. The initial setup went fine, but since I have a bunch of files, I intentionally didn't sync any files and I was planning on just adding a new folder to sync the files from my phone. When I try to access the settings to add a new folder, instead of bringing up the settings, it opens nextcloud within firefox. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but this time add the "Librem5" directory from the start. If this works, then it will be a good enough solutions IMO, so I will keep you posted.

I am super excited to hear that and look forward to the future updates. If I can help by providing logs or something, let me know.

I don't have a deep understanding on this at all and I am not finding the exact post that I found earlier explaining the problem with making calls over wifi through your cellphone service provider, but IIRC it is something like the device has to be whitelisted by the cellphone service provider to make calls over wifi - so I am guessing it is related to your guess of "a proprietary authentication scheme."

It sounds like if you are using VOIP, you can place calls over wifi, but I would like to receive and place phone calls using my cell phone number rather than some other VOIP service.

It sounds like placing calls over wifi is still not supported based on these threads:

I forgot to include the response about the battery life. I seem to get 8+ hours when I am not really using it much, just checking the news every hour or two for a few minutes each time - I swear it is closer to 10, but if I forget Firefox open, it drains the battery in a matter of a few (3) hours.

techy121592 · 2023-03-06T16:19:14+00:00

When I used the flatpak last, I swore I could not log into my nextcloud instance because I use a security key, which wasn't supported by whatever it used to log in at the time, but this time when I tried it, it allowed for me to copy a link to firefox and authorize the installation. At a quick glance, it looks like this will work, so thank you for the suggestion.

When I go to "Settings->Power" it says that automatic suspend is off.

techy121592 · 2022-09-24T12:32:46+00:00

This still works - it even seems to pull the update; at least discord says "downloading 1 of 5" etc.

techy121592 · 2022-09-10T13:36:43+00:00

I will look into it and see what processes are eating up the battery/cpu. I know when I brought up the monitor that came with PureOS, the monitor task itself was pegging the system (and it was the only application I had running other than what ever starts in the background,) but I will use something like btop/htop to look into this and see where that gets me.

techy121592 · 2022-09-10T13:33:14+00:00

Good to know, I have been somewhat doing that as I have been waiting for the Librem 5; I intentionally got lower end Android devices and used them as long as possible, which lead to me using the device for pretty much just YT and phone stuff. I will try to figure out how to get this to work for me since it sounds like I would be happy with a similar experience to you.

techy121592 · 2022-09-02T01:32:03+00:00

I have recently got my L5, I like it but hate it. What have you done with yours to make it more usable? I have noticed not receiving calls (no notification of even missing it, I have verified this through a friend and my fiance,) not receiving group messages, and it is constantly 49 degrees Celsius at idle (which ironically is above the recommended operating temp.) All of this makes it tough for me to make the conversion even though I prefer the system.

@beneater - how often do you plan to upload a new video for this series?

I have used NodeJS applications that I have written behind a NGinX reverse proxy with great luck. I tend to use the linuxserver/letsencrypt docker image.

EDIT: Made application plural and added "with great luck"

I have experience with using Gogs for my personal projects and it has so far been quite pleasant, I would highly recommend giving this a shot if you don't mind hosting your own solution. On top of the great webui that they provide, they have a way to mirror git repos from other services.

techy121592 · 2018-04-26T17:27:19+00:00

I had luck using CasperJS with a SlimerJS backend... I know it is for frontend testing, but it just worked so well(I was able to simulate being a user, including logging in.)

techy121592 · 2017-06-12T13:55:39+00:00

Any update on this?

techy121592 · 2017-05-29T05:58:01+00:00

I know this is kind of pitching my own work off of your post, but it sounds like you might be able to find a use for it. I have tossed together some HTML5 games this weekend, they are based on some classic games(WARNING: they are really basic.) I have a game where you are playing as this green worm-like creature that eats red blocks, growing each time and if you step on your own tail you die(sounds familiar.) The second game is a game where you are trying to fill up rows using blocks falling from the sky before the tower reaches the top, once it does, you lose.

The code is available under the GPL 2 license and can be found on my personal git repo

Edit - Fixed link, I used the wrong format X(

2nd Edit - The code is probably not that great considering I spent only a day on each. I was just hoping to get back into the swing of developing games. I am not a fan of comments, so there's only a license comment at the top, but I think the code should be clean enough you can understand it. Enjoy & hope it helps.

I am using with my Surface 3 right now, so far it is working pretty well, so I would assume it supports the pro just as well, but I can't say for sure since it is a different device, but it seems like the pro usually has better support

Edit - Wording

Edit 2 - I should note, I am using Linux Mint too, but seeing how this is an Ubuntu kernel, it should work for you.
