Congratulations to @PINE64 for the #pinephonepro, the new device has a lot of potential (support GLES 3.2, Vulkan, OpenCL), maybe Linux phone games soon?
It's also mindblowing that they managed to sneak the #pinebookpro SoC into a device.

If you see this when updating your device today (running Arch Linux ARM on @PINE64 #PinePhone / #PineTab):
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace linux-pine64 with pine64/linux-megi? [Y/n]
:: Replace linux-pine64-headers with pine64/linux-megi-headers? [Y/n]
Allow it to do so, we've renamed our kernel package. Once update is done, you can reboot as normal.
Improvements for those of us who run #phosh daily on their #librem5:
- the media player allows to skip in songs/podcasts (by @ollieparanoid)
- headphones show a different icon
- music player gets muted on headphone unplug
While Mobian does not directly support running #Android applications, it seems that some users find running them via #waydroid on the #pinephone surprisingly nice. Our wiki has some installation instructions if you want to try it out.

I was quite shocked when I recently logged into Discord and it asked me to enter my school email to get connected with different Discord pages tied to the college that I'm attending. How would Discord know I'm in currently enrolled in college, what type of information are they collecting to know that information?
