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:

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: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy )
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: https://git.abscue.de/obp/bananui/shell
WIP pmaports fork: https://gitlab.com/affenull2345/pmaports/-/tree/nokia-weeknd (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.
phosh 0.30.0 is out 🚀📱:

If you're using an external dock with touchscreen: Due to the wlroots update we need to update the touch mappings to make touch on the external output still work. There will soon be a phosh-mobile-settings bugfix release to make this simple for known docks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/63

pmbootstrap 2.0.0 is here:
https://git.sr.ht/~postmarketos/pmbootstrap/refs/2.0.0
After bumping the minor version 53 (!) times in 1.x.y, we have some
breaking changes justifying a major version bump.
Highlights of this release are generating fstab and crypttab, support for the mtkclient flasher and better locale selection in "pmbootstrap init".
For users it should still feel the same overall. Enjoy this release, and thanks so much to everybody who contributed to it! ❤️

The reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
