The fortieth edition of my weekly collection of #LinuxPhone news (@PINE64 #PinePhone, @purism #Librem5 and such), #LinBits, is out!

A new @postmarketOS beta release, great @danctnix changes, #GTK4, #Sxmo and #Phosh releases and #NemoMobile progress!

This blog is now hosted on the GPS/LTE modem of the Pinephone ! Very impressive feat

After months of working on this, we are proud to announce the second beta release of #postmarketOS, based on #AlpineLinux 3.13! 😀

#NGIForward is pushing towards more #sustainability for smartphones: 7 years of updates, open sourcing when support drops, public repair manuals and diagnostic tools. To reduce the horrible environmental impact of mainstream phones, we need all of this, yesterday!

"For ultimate flexibility, smartphone manufacturers should enable users to install alternative operating systems such as @e_mydata or PostmarketOS."

pine64: this phone is only for developers and testers, don't buy unless you know what you're doing

random user: buys it and call it "the worst device" despite the warning in bright red

QR reading support is now added to Megapixels :D
