Alpine finally gets #APKv3. Thanks to @sertonix for getting this over the line.
postmarketOS develops free and open-source software to extend the life of consumer electronics. By empowering people to have full control of their devices, we promote a healthier and more sustainable society.
We did a small #embedded #Linux hackfest in #Prague KarlΓn! We moved forward with upstreaming #Pixel3 , we tested #Pixel3XL ability to boot and started working towards OLED enablement, we discussed #Camera (both #libcamera and #libobscura ) on #LinuxMobile phones #postmarketOS with @pavel
When going to higher display resolutions in #phosh #stevia's πΉ can become a bit small to type with (as our βοΈs usually don't adjust to display size). I've thus cooked up an MR that allows to keep the physical size of the OSK constant (in portrait mode for now).
On top of that one can add a "dead zone" at the bottom of the OSK which helps on taller devices like the #OP6 as the π± otherwise tends to tilt when typing on the bottom row.
For me this is a typing speed booster.
Estonian engineers found that 15-year-old smartphones, when hacked to work together as a single self-organized unit, can handle many such tasks, including image recognition, with unexpected ease. How did they turn a bunch of old phones into a mini datacenter? https://spectrum.ieee.org/smartphone-data-centers?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline
The first revision PCBs have arrived for our hardware testing device harness! Now the testing and firmware development can begin.

Not quite ready yet for pmaports, but have a look at these new and very exiting #postmarketos @postmarketOS ports.
Pixel 6 (google-oriole), 6 Pro (google-raven) and 6A (google-bluejay)
hacking with @cas on QCS6490 system-on-chip and they got display (with gpu) working with postmarketOS/gnome. and we got blender running!
It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.
This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba π₯³
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.

We'd like to welcome @fossdd and Mio as new Alpine Linux developers.
We really appreciate all the work they and the rest of the community have done.
#postmarketOS now boots on Fairphone (Gen. 6)!

It's so annoying that the exploit for the BlackBerry Key 2 LE is proprietary.
No, I'm not executing your random binary with full root rights.
Yes, I would like Linux on my BlackBerry Key 2 LE.
But I will wait for someone (with the right knowledge, not me) to reverse the binary so we can have a FOSS version...
Also, I'd love porting Mobian to this thing.
Excited to announce that @Logical_Error is now a Trusted Contributor in postmarketOS! π₯³
He has been contributing to postmarketOS since 2018, mostly porting the MSM8960-based Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 (samsung-expressatt), first downstream and then mainline, mainlining various patches and testing releases. He plans to do more mainlining of that device, PinePhone Pro and Microsoft Surface RT.

Game Publishers keep dropping support for games they have sold to consumers, leaving the games unplayable.
The "Stop Killing Games" European Citizens Initiative demands the EU propose a law to force developers to leave games in a playable state!
It has reached 500k of the 1m needed signatures (deadline July 31). We need your support!
