Last PebbleOS update for Pebble 2 Duo boosted battery life by almost a week. Median battery life is now 26 days! FYI this only counts devices that are connected by Bluetooth to Pebble mobile app, and have analytics enabled.
More improvements for PT2 in the works!

Mastodon 4.6 is here! It's been a long time in the works, but it's finally ready. In this release, we're introducing Collections—a way to share curated collections of profiles to help old and new users discover more of the Fediverse. We're also updating the look of profiles, alongside many quality of life and accessibility improvements.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: never again.
They're breaking the open source social contract (for the nth time...), and I'm past hoping they'll amend their ways.

Newest Featured Work – See what others are building on RISC-V
Docker on RISC-V is moving at a different pace now.
With community-maintained packages, Docker v29 is available on RISC-V64 within days of release, not months. Fully automated pipelines compile natively on RISC-V hardware and deliver the full stack as installable .deb and .rpm packages: Engine, CLI, Compose, and Buildx.
No workarounds. No missing features. Just parity.
This is what it looks like when a community gets ahead of the ecosystem.
Explore how it all came together and what it unlocks for developers working on RISC-V.

Solar-powered ESP32 E Ink smartwatch with long battery life
cnx-software.com/2026/04/26/…
Inspired by Watchy, the LightInk open-source hardware watch features a 1.54-inch e-paper display and supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, and GPS, all running on a 100mAh battery.
Thanks to its built-in solar panel and firmware optimization, the watch can last up to 10 months on its battery.

Linux 7.0 is out! Here's a changelog.
cnx-software.com/2026/04/13/…
We look at some notable changes, like AI tools' policy documentation and Rust being promoted as "not-experimental".
Then we go through the details of the changes for the Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures.

We're going to be hosting a @Pebble developer contest starting in a few days! We've got dozens of Time 2 or Round 2 (winner's choice) as prizes, plus...
**drumroll**
3 extremely limited edition transparent Pebble Time 2!!
Start thinking of ideas for apps and watchfaces!

CLion gets some great debugger and CMake updates in 2026.1 EAP!
🔌 The IDE can now communicate with DAP debuggers over TCP, with Launch and Attach modes available.
🔢 You can now change number formats for variables on the fly while debugging – decimal, hex, octal, or binary.
⚡ Code completion is now available in the CMake options and Build options fields.
🏗️ CMake preset names in the UI now use displayName from CMakePresets.json for more human-friendly labels.
Read our blog post to learn about these and other updates in detail: jb.gg/cl_261_eap7

This post summarizes the work done by @Collabora to upstream the drivers to mainline Linux, and looks at future work such as AV1 codec support.

I containerized an AI assistant on RISC-V hardware. npm install took 23 minutes, Docker's credential store has a case-sensitivity bug I spent an embarrassing amount of time on, and yes, it works. Thread.

After nearly two years of waiting for @IloveRockchip to fix their FFmpeg copyright violation, one of the FFmpeg developers acted.
Thousands of lines of code were copied from FFmpeg.
Hey @IloveRockchip, blatantly copy and pasting FFmpeg code into your driver and changing the licence in violation of the LGPL is not cool:
