drebrez got a 5.1.0 kernel (with minor patching) running on the Galaxy Nexus - and he started with nothing but forced reboots and kernel panics, then worked his way up to the display and earphone audio!

It's time to grab your favorite drink and celebrate this tale and a lot more with us in the two years of postmarketOS blog post:

The main problem with choosing a free software license is that they're a giant pile of legalese rather than a succient explanation of their goals.

MIT, BSD: Do whatever you want with this software, but it's not our responsibility (baseline)

Apache: Same but with extra protections for your trademarks/brand

GPL: Requires derivative software and software to also use the GPL license

LGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the LGPL license, but doesn't consider linking to a library to be a derivative

AGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the AGPL license, but considers communication over the network to be derivative

"To all Liverpool Recycle members

Problems with 'no shows' and people not sticking to what they say when responding to offers is by far the commonest complaint we get, so here are a few tips to help make the Recycle experience successful for all concerned.

...

Always turn up when you say you will"

Yes thanks for that, I'm sure this communiqué will be very successful in changing people's behaviour.

Over on birdsite, I have a bunch of accounts for various bots and parts of my company - one for the company itself; a couple of products have their own accounts; and a couple of toy bots. I'm trying to work out how to migrate them over to the fediverse, to continue my move to favour the open web. Feels like a chance to help set tone for how to do that. Are there any other examples/conventions? I'm thinking I should host a server on the company domain, to provide an easy segregation. Thoughts?
