@crft I took your advice and set up a crowdfunding goal thing on ko-fi for this.

The goal amount is lofty but it should get something that would last me a while 🤷‍♂️🤞

@fossdd given enough time and spoons, we'll likely get everything working given it's essentially a budget version of xiaomi-perseus (same screen/touchscreen as far as I can tell), and SDM670/710 is a cut-down version of SDM845 (i.e 1-lane UFS compared to 2-lane UFS on SDM845, things like that).

I need to figure out how to get rid of AVB warning, it doesn't show up with stock logo partition and according to binwalk, i did my dd magic correctly :blobcat3c:

Finally week-end! Plenty to do but most important of all, a new daft code episode tomorrow Sunday 13th at 18h CEST! This week, @sitter and I will be meeting and discussing the most recent Plasma Keyboard push, the current structure of a simple Kirigami application and some new fancy DBus API for QML. You can join us as always in twitch.tv/daft_code! @kde

System boots from internal storage, making it the first SDM670/SDM710 device with working UFS on mainline Linux

Cool new feature with the #Waydroid update to #Android 13: Support to configure screen lock. This will bring support to a lot more Android apps on #postmarketOS which require screen lock as a security measure 🔐
Just tested it with the Interrail app, I'm now able to add my travel pass 🥳

When normal people want an MP3 player, they go to the store and buy one... but I'm not normal :akko_fingerguns:

Artist and Designer Chaline Bang ( @chalinebang ) will talk about her personal adventures and collective experiments in permacomputing. She is a member of the Rotterdam-based research group _permacomputing evenings_ and will share how they learned to build servers out of obsolete smartphones using postmarketOS. The group conducted experiments into practical techniques and aesthetic approaches as well as organizing public events with outside researchers.
