Remember @fsfe 's open letter from 1 year ago?

* Users should have the right to freely choose OS & software on their devices,
* which service providers to use

@fosdem developer rooms have been announced!
After a crammed half day of talks on #LinuxOnMobile last time, we are very happy that there will be a full Sunday dedicated to mobile topics around true Linux OSes at #fosdem2024.
We will announce a Call for Participation as soon as it is published. We will coordinate with our Friends at @postmarketOS, sailfish OS, etc to put together something interesting.

would anyone be interested in remote access to any of the following devices for the purposes of #Linux mainline development and testing? You'd be able to power cycle the device and boot an Android boot.img (kernel + dtb + ramdisk), I'm also open to using these devices in CI

* OnePlus 6/6T - #Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
* OnePlus 7 and/or 7 pro - #Qualcomm #Snapdragon 855 / sm8150
* Google Pixel 2 XL, 3, or 3 XL - Snapdragon 835 (msm8998) or Snapdragon 845 (sdm845). (Only have one usb-cereal adapter so only one of these is viable right now)
* #Fairphone 2 - MSM8974
* #Fairphone 5 - QCM6490
* #LG G6 - msm8996 (if someone can find UART and find a workaround for the "charger wet" detection being stuck on)
* #Samsung j3 (j3xnlte) - some spreadtrum SoC - Only if you can find UART for me

I don't have things fully set up here but I'm trying to figure out what i should prioritise.

If any of these sounds useful to you then please get in touch with me! I'm especially interested in folks from the #LinuxMobile community, #Kernel maintainers, or anyone else with an interest in upstream Linux support on phones. Please have some kind of public presence in a related field and tell me what your usecase is.

* DM me on matrix - @ caleb:postmarketos.org
* Email me - caleb@connolly.tech

Please boost for reach!

You can use the #️⃣Unicode #️⃣ as a hashtag?

How labor intensive! 😹

Yes the 🪗 is certainly my most widely available work 🥰 and it makes me laugh

Currently preparing to collaborate on a #PhonographEmoji that I’d really like to succeed

Since the 0h game jam (conducted by @sos as usual) is still not abolished and it has just happened a few moments ago, I made a terrible game in 0 hours again. This time you have to guess whether a character you see in a random font is a zero or not. (note: uses Google Fonts)

🎙️ Had a great time talking to a-wai, @devrtz and @kop316 from @mobian in episode 35 of the postmarketOS podcast.

Probably the smallest hard disk drive ever commercially produced, the 0.85-inch 2GB drive was introduced by Toshiba in 2004 and used in the Nokia N91 mobile phone and the Cowon iAudio 6.

There were 4GB and 8GB versions but by 2007 it fell out of use, replaced by flash memory.

if you are a bandcamp user, you should make sure you have a local download of all your albums in high quality, because they're in a situation where they may stop existing As Such on short notice

Finally got all 3 native #linuxmobile devices #pinephone #pinephonepro #librem5. Going to have to see how the camera compares on all 3

I scrolled down in phosh today to fast-launch the settings app and change my audio output device, when I noticed a little button next to the volume slider. I pressed it and what do you know, phosh added a handy little input/output audio device selector when I wasn't looking!

Hi folks! Would you like to become better hackers?

I offer a #hacker #course for the first 3 lucky applicants.

Want to learn #Rust? #Linux? Or just have someone who knows where to find answers about the universe?

Now I'm ready to become your #mentor - if you support me :)

Watching through the Toy Story movies and it's weird how they keep naming characters after Debian releases.

my gf once told me "🔑 Unable to decrypt message" and I think that's beautiful 🥺

Gender is a lot like operating systems. People always assume you use one of the two big proprietary ones and if you don't, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of confusion and compatibility issues. On the plus side you get a lot more customisability and don't have to care about bullshit policies of the proprietary options.

I never get tired of posting my phone running on the latest stable kernel. Props to @purism for doing all the hard work to maintain the #librem5 kernel and making it easy for @mobian to use it!

Currently internally debating whether I'll attend #37C3. Since #COVID my endurance dumped: Before I was able to run 25km without prior training, now I'm gasping after 5. I cannot do *any* strength/core training without carefully tracking my heart beats.

I do recommend everyone who hasn't been at any Congress to visit if they can, it's an incredible experience. But I had my share of Chaos events this year already and the a) non-existence of any precautions b) the statement of unwillingness to go beyond what's required by law (since when do we care about *that*?), combined with c) the IMHO *disgusting* phrasing on the announcement taking the cherry on the top, only solidified by the comments of orga related people really makes me question going there.

I do understand that it's difficult to mandate masks and I can accept a decision based on this rationale if communicated that way. One could formulate the social goal of reducing infections despite the difficulties. But instead everything is shifted to the individual's responsibility, a weird "libertarian" idea for which I only have utter contempt. There are people worse off than me who need to rely on us behaving properly.

Masks don't hurt. But they're effective.
