Do you like the idea of running free software / Linux on everything?

Do you have some hardware collecting dust in a drawer?

Do you have fun figuring out how things break, and/or helping others break stuff?

If you answered "yes" to these questions, consider joining the #postmarketOS testing team today! It'll be fun! 🥳

#systemd on #postmarketOS is getting a little closer every day...

Meet the main folks behind #postmarketOS on our shiny new Team webpage!

@ncopa wow! Was the upgrade to python 3.11 like this? Is there anything we can do to help?

@clacke @anjan oh nice, thanks for letting us know!

Is anyone in the #pdx area interested in running real Linux (#postmarketOS) on their old phone, tablet, whatever? Do you want help installing it? Let's meet up!

@anjan Oh ya, for sure. Do you know if there will be a FOSSY 2024 (and where)? Their site shows last year's conference.

Hmm... this is kinda gross @mozilla... Why does this #firefox feature even exist and why did you enable it by default?

@postmarketOS

I'm glad they escaped Akademy, Snapdragon was very aggressive, and the gnome mobile song was... uh.. stuck in my head.

The gnome mobile, the gnome mobile, we're rolling along in the gnome mobile.

Today I start my new job, working full time on #postmarketOS 🥳

Does anyone else have too much fun naming their devices?

The home speaker thing (aka "speaker of the house") is named "Nancy"

The bluetooth headset I use for remote meetings is "Can you hear me now"

My laptop is "lappy" (ok, wasn't creative with that one 😅)

IoT-only wifi network with "smart" things is "skynet"

I'm sure there are far better ones than these, please share!

My old #n900 booting the mainline kernel on #postmarketOS, installed on a 1TB SD card.

When this came out, flash memory was $1620/TB [1], and a 32GB SD card was *huge*. I don't think anyone expected to install a 1TB card in one. A lot can be said for maintaining backwards compatibility!

this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"

@Phaserune I like that I can adjust the tenting now, and spacing. I've owned/used the Advantage and Advantage 2 keyboards for a couple of years, and this new one is much more comfortable.

I'm not sure how I feel yet about them doing away with the physical function keys and multimedia keys... I used those quite a bit on the older generations. But this new one does include 4 "general purpose" keys at the center that can be used for anything.

Besides being an ad for #loomio, this article is a pretty good overview of how my employer, #Igalia, operates as a cooperative focusing on free software:

the best part about having a giant hole in my keyboard is that now I finally have a good place to put my coffee

yay new keyboard day. this is a kinesis advantage360 with ZMK firmware.

@PublicLewdness ah! thank you very much ?

@leimon @jakob huh, FreeTube looks very interesting. I've been using piped.kavin.rocks in Firefox. how well does FreeTube adapt to mobile display sizes/orientations?

It's hilarious when someone who does not contribute to a project publicly objects when the project considers supporting an email-based workflow for patches.
