@bradlinder I guess they've had a long enough time to cook up something. I kept hearing a microkernel based operating system being thrown around a couple years ago in light of (surely that won't be true?).

@popolon I think trying it on a faster and more up to date phone will help the speed. The PinePhone is slow at everything.

Trying to wrap my head around porting linux to android phones is proving to be a very slow process.

"I'll work it out later"

Today we're celebrating the 26th anniversary of GNOME 🎉🎉
Thank you to all our outstanding contributors and community members for helping make the #GNOME project what it is today!

Got tired of tiles not being moveable or even able to have four small ones next to each other in a square and I decided to start integrating TilesGrid. Currently it's really finicky and just barely works even when it jitters all over the place (this is a seizure hazard right now), so it's nowhere near ready to be merged yet. You can check it out in the "tilesgrid-integration" branch if you want. Here's a screenshot so far, with more details in the reply:

My KDE Plasma Image for the #PineTabV is now available for testing. Still lots to fix up but this has full GPU desktop acceleration, and feels responsive, even running from a SD card. Check wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab-v for details. #pine64 #riscv @PINE64 @pine64eu

KDE Telemetry collects data on you, if you opt-in, and it has a clear description of what is collected, why, what the retention policy is and how you can switch it back off.

It's off by default, and distributors of binaries (e.g. distro's) can disable it entirely at compile time.

That's how it should be (policy is here: community.kde.org/Policies/Tel )

I got #bananui 🍌 , the GUI for #LinuxMobile on feature phones, to work together with #wroomd on a #Nokia2780 with #postmarketOS. It's now almost possible to use it as an actual phone! 📞

UI source code: git.abscue.de/obp/bananui/shel

WIP pmaports fork: gitlab.com/affenull2345/pmapor (currently missing audio for voice calls and kernel packaging)

I'm gonna go on a trip tomorrow to take photos of places and things with my PinePhone and Samsung Galaxy SII.
Both the SII and the Omnivision camera inside the PinePhone were released at a similar time period in 2011.

I will be using stock Android on the SII (final update) along with PostmarketOS edge with the latest build of Megapixels installable from the edge repo.

I'm excited to see the results I get in better daylight as both suffer greatly with night shots.

I'm glad to finally see the "Purism is a scam company" story getting real traction four years after I initially published my blog series on the subject.

Better late than never.
