happy trans day of visibility :3

#TDOV #TransVisibilityDay

We stand in solidarity with our friends at @Codeberg. No project should have to deal with this kind of abuse and we applaud their efforts to tackle it and protect their community. If you share our desire for truly free software and infrastructure that doesn't harvest your data, and have to the means to, consider heading to https://donate.codeberg.org. Community funding is the best way to ensure that projects like Codeberg can continue to succeed and be independent.

:postmarketos: As promised, here is our report from FOSDEM 2025 and the hackathon we did afterwards:

https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/02/10/fosdem-and-hackathon/

Just like last year, it was an incredibly productive time in which we were able to tackle hard problems and greatly move postmarketOS development forward.

This hackathon has been financed through your donations from OpenCollective, thank you for making this possible! 💕

last year we "enjoyed" The Gnome Mobile

The first postmarketOS edge images with systemd are now available, lots more are building as of writing!

See the updated edge blog post for more information:
https://postmarketos.org/edge/2025/01/09/systemd-soon/

Huge thanks to everybody who has been involved in making this possible! :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Update: the #systemd merger is in progress. We recommend NOT updating your devices which are running #postmarketOS edge until this is complete.

We are currently working through some issues with the changes to https://build.postmarketos.org

A full explanation of the changes and our recommendations for migrating your devices to systemd will be published once things are ready!

In the mean time, refresh https://build.postmarketos.org at will

We plan to merge systemd into postmarketOS edge tomorrow (Friday, 2025-01-10) :git:

Please note that it will take some time until all systemd related packages and images are built, and that pmaports CI and building your own images may not behave as expected on this day.
