Aside from the three apps added today, Peter has been looking at two other apps from #Flathub's Mobile Collection. Both were far too wide to work on mobile.

In a way, this shows that a project like LinuxPhoneApps.org, dead as it may seem, is still very much needed. Unfortunately, keeping it […]

Just tagged #nuraeco / #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap 3.12.0: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/-/tags/3.12.0

There's no single headlining feature in this release IMO but plenty of smaller changes that I hope will lead to a slightly better developer experience!

Also, if […]

We just removed the firmware folder in #BengalOS for the #SHIFT6mq. All firmware is now either extracted at runtime (via @mobian 's droid-juicer) or upstream in the linux-firmware package, making it the first device of this kind in our immutable distro images.

I'm currently paying people to test my README.
Using my #NLnet grant money, I'm giving people a €25 voucher if they'll let me watch them try to follow my documentation and install my software.

It is *painful* but brilliant. I've found so many issues that I'd never thought of before. Only by […]

Yeah, it runs DOOM.

There is no release time-frame right now for the PineTime Pro as general pre-production issues are still being ironed out (improved boards are being sent out as we speak). We are all crossing our fingers for it to be available […]

Nice that we now have timetable data for Chinese railways in Transitous (and thus in Maps and other apps using it).

And another git tag for mobile-config-firefox, this should definitely help #Debian based distributions like #BengalOS and #Mobian - finally support for ESR 153 :-)

I wonder: will Android or iOS ever become a viable alternative to Linux phones? Apple started quick and announced the iPhone just a few months after a GNU/Linux smartphone. Google took a bit longer with Android - but now they both had nearly 20 years, and yet they're still nowhere close to […]
