@neil will you use postmarketOS with Phosh? #phosh @phosh #postmarketos (or Plasma or other UI?)
Mobile Linux shell Phosh 0.53.0 brings a bunch of bug fixes, auto brightness improvements, and thumbnails for launching apps are now shown on the overview screen. https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.53.0/ #MobileLinux #Phosh
People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google's Play store, without having to:
* pay Google
* give government ID to Google
* agree to Google terms and conditions
People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google's Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.
e.g. via F-Droid.
We've got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.

Hopefully this will give #FOSS devs an incentive to shift app development to #mobilelinux if Google pushes ahead with this.
There ARE alternatives. I'm fully aware that they are, for the most part, not prime time ready, but they DO exist, and they've come a long way.
Maybe Google doing this will be a blessing in disguise, as it may just be what's needed to give #linuxphones a push.
I, for one, will switch to one form of mobile Linux or another, if Obtainium/F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid are killed off by this.

Sent the display notch cutout description file for the MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 14").
It would be nice if, at some point, the GNOME desktop (e.g., Mutter/GNOME Shell) could work with this information and adjust UI elements accordingly. Soon, there will be more and more devices with display cutouts.
There’s already amazing work by Phosh e.V. on this, so hopefully feature parity will come soon!

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

After playing around with @postmarketOS at #fosdem this weekend, I canceled my preorder of another phone and am going full on with PMOS. The gorgeous phosh-UI combined with fully OSS makes a strong case for this ecosystem.

I had the original #FuriLabs FLX1 and liked it because it did what it said on the box and didn’t 'onboard' me with four cloud services and make me sign a wavier on first boot.
The #FLX1s feels like that phone, but with a better design. I’ll own it: I'm the guy who thinks thinner phones look cooler... In any case, I upgraded. It’s slimmer, has more RAM, and it lasts longer than my fold 7 so its better than good enough.
