I think we can't have enough blog posts and talks about that, ppl still think it's not possible to use a close to mainline #Linux phone in 2026 although we're doing it for many years now (see also e.g. @devrtz 's talk from 2025 https://www.linuxday.at/5-jahre-meines-lebens-mit-mobile-linux-smartphones (in German)).
I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.
I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.
Read here about the beginning of this experiment: https://janvlug.org/blog/one-week-librem-5-field-trial-day-1/

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

DN Debatt. ”Larmet ljuder – sätt stopp för nedmonteringen av rättsstaten”
"Just nu pågår den största omdaningen av svenskt rättsväsende vi sett i modern tid. Detta samtidigt som välgrundade juridiska invändningar konsekvent avfärdas som ”aktivism” eller ”åsikter”. Det är djupt oroväckande. Vi ringer i larmklockorna, frågan är när makthavarna ska lyssna, skriver 33 jurister, professorer, fd justitieråd med flera om ett nytt upprop."

NOSAD Nyhetsbrev april 2026:
"Digg samlar in exempel på hur öppna data används och skapar nytta. [...] Arbetsförmedlingen släpper ett öppet verktyg för att granska webbtillgänglighet. Europeiska exempel visar hur öppen källkod i offentlig sektor stärker digital suveränitet, samarbete och öppen infrastruktur. På samma not arrangeras ett event i juni i Stockholm om digitalisering och digital suveränitet."
En fin sak. SVTplay har en hel mängd av studio Ghiblis filmer online. Som till exempel min granne Totoro. Bättre tecknad film än såhär finns inte. Magiskt bra.

Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳
Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.
This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), developer.overheid.nl, and a number of participating government organizations. 🤝
@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen
A postmarketOS question: in postmarketOS edge there are lots of packages that can be listed with "apk list". For some of them, info about how the package was built and who maintains it can be found at https://pkgs.postmarketos.org/packages but many packages are not found there. Where can one find information about such packages? One example I'm interested in is the "signal-cli" package for which there is now some dependency problem, something for package maintainers.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years.
That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

All my #WebKit merge requests have been merged. Now #WebKitGTK supports touch PointerEvent API, touch point coordinates are fractional, synthesized mouse events are unbroken and both WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit handle pointer capture and release according to the spec. This should considerably improve compatibility of #Epiphany (#GNOME Web) with touch interfaces.
There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in #mobilelinux #linuxmobile community would like to give it a try?
