AFAIK they are. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libhybris and https://docs.sailfishos.org/Tools/Hardware_Adaptation_Development_Kit/
while PureOS, postmarketOS, Mobian, BengalOS, pocketBlue, etc are mainline Linux based.
(and to add even more to the mix: There's a libhybris/android kernel flavored Debian called Droidian).
Yes, it's complicated, we notice that when talking to ppl with our association (@ev) at conferences. Once people realize it's mainline, they really get excited.
@okias Let me grab that click bait 🤭 :
There are people that have other priorities like the amount of firmware on the device, separation of components on the PCB, no proprietary hypervisors, full control over all bootloaders, etc.
So I think as a community we have interest in devices like the @pine64 #PinePhone's or @purism 's #Librem5 to continue.
It's also good to have devices that ship Linux out of the box.
Okej, allihopa! Jag har lyckats logga in till https://fedidevs.com/s/MTY2/ , så om nån vill bli tillagd i den listan får ni hojta NU! 😊 😁
Samtidigt varnas Sverige av experter: Inför inte sociala medier-förbud https://www.dn.se/sverige/experter-varnar-sverige-infor-inte-sociala-medier-forbud/
Franska författningsrådet satte yttrandefrihet framför 15-årsgräns på sociala medier – och stoppade Macron lag. Följden kan bli en tydligare definition av vad som är skadligt (algoritmer etc) och en harmonisering inom EU. https://www.dn.se/varlden/erik-de-la-reguera-fransk-dom-satter-yttrandefrihet-framfor-15-arsgrans-pa-sociala-medier/
Kernel 6.18 available for testing in #PureOS.
It is already running on my #Librem5, and all good until now.
See: https://forums.puri.sm/t/kernel-6-18-available-for-testing/31104
"Once 6.18 becomes the default, the soon-to-be-released-upstream 7.2 kernel will be made available as well..."
Thanks to all who worked on this, or provides support in any other way, like donating via the PureOS subscriptions!

I've been desperately looking for some good news and finally found some:
"Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school"
OSLO, June 19 2026 (Reuters) - "Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their use in the education of older children to prevent a negative impact on learning, the country's prime minister said on Friday."
https://www.reuters.com/technology/norway-imposes-near-ban-ai-elementary-school-2026-06-19/
I recommend this episode:
"Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, Episode 82 - Who's Responsible for "Responsible AI"?"
https://peertube.dair-institute.org/w/2By327fcUi38xBSGpWas84 #PeerTube
They mention this:
"How to talk about "AI" without adding to the anthropomorphization": https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/how-to-talk-about-ai-without-adding-to-the/
Examples from there:
- Instead of "artificial intelligence", say "probabilistic automation".
- Instead of "AI agent", say "probabilistic, unverified software manipulator".

Your AI did not "go rogue"
it's just a program.
Your AI did not "hallucinate"
it has no brain.
Your AI did not "create" anything
it's just a plagiarism machine.
Your AI is not your "friend"
stop anthropomorphizing it.
It's just code. Exploitative, polluting, and unethical code
”Going into schools, I meet thousands of children a year and every day I become more certain that, if justice for all is to be our organising principle, AI is not for children and not for young people. … It risks halting learning before it can take flight. Studies show, over and over, that when we engage in AI-assisted learning we give up sooner. … We undergo not just cognitive offloading, but cognitive surrender: we forget what was possible.”
—K. Rundell

"Det var befriande att höra när språkröret Daniel Helldén (MP) i torsdagens partiledarutfrågning i Ekot stod fast vid att Sverige borde ha en mer öppen invandring, i stället för att förhålla sig till den främlingsfientliga åsiktskorridoren." www.sydsvenskan.se/opinion/huvu...

Hey, Free and Open Source Software developers! Do you want $5000 for making a library in your favourite programming language?
@Interledger is offering grants of up to $5000 for implementations of RFC 9421, "HTTP Message Signatures".
https://interledger.org/grant/open-payments-sdk
RFC 9421 is the essential authentication system for #ActivityPub 's federation protocol. Robust, secure and reusable libraries make it easier to build AP into more software and get more people on the Fediverse.
Please take a look!
"Digital cameras and wired earphones are back - and 'a bit more real'"
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly599xlllyo
"It's been on the mind of Andrew Przybylski, professor of technology and human behaviour at the University of Oxford."
"Underpinning a fondness for more basic tech is "people's desire on a very deep level to be in control of their experiences," he argues."
