excited to finally announce to the world what we've been planning in Berlin these last few months. I hope the core tenets of Modal is something that many people can get behind :3
Next week I'll have a talk at Open Source Summit Japan 🇯🇵:
"We need an open source phone OS - postmarketOS!"
If you are there in-person, say hello, and otherwise a live stream (December 10th, 11:40 UTC+9) should be available, and the recording will appear also at some point!
Over November 2025, I've been able to contribute to
@gnome, and it was a pleasure!
I focused on GNOME Clocks, with the goal of making it as good as possible for GNOME 50. I focused on #accessibility, #linuxmobile and all sorts of bug fixes and features, as well as issue and MR triaging.
I also fixed some tiny issues in #GTK and #libadwaita, and helped make gettext-pseudolocale as good as possible.
I hope to find more free time to make GNOME Clocks 50 dependable as a mobile clocks app.
thelinuxexperiment Igalia is a workers cooperative, so I'm happy to know that the graphics driver for my #linuxMobile is developed by a democratic, worker-owned business :dapper_pusheen:
There's an ongoing petition in Germany about legally recognizing volunteering for free/libre/open source projects as 'volunteering for the common good'!
This would give volunteering for free software projects the same legal status as volunteering for youth associations, or staying home to take care of an elderly family member.
This gives tax benefits, and (if I understand correctly) eases requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.
While not a post on my blog, a post by me: I've collected together all the cool stuff that has been happening in the Plasma Mobile space for the 6.5 release and it's almost on time!
Excited to announce that the FOSS on Mobile devroom returns for #fosdem 2026! 🥳
Communities from multiple Linux Mobile projects come together there and hold talks about what was achieved, what challenges lie ahead, how we can collaborate to solve them, as well as random interesting things happening when replacing Google's Android on our phones.
If you have been doing cool stuff in this ecosystem, we want to hear from you - consider submitting a talk!
Am i reading this
@postmarketOS blog right that we are finally moving #linuxmobile away from pulse/callaudiod and moving to a more native #pipewire system?
Save the dates: We're having an online community get together at 2025-11-18 and an offline one at
@datenburg at 2025-12-04 . Everyone interested in #Phosh and the
@ev is invited to drop by and chat. Hope to see you there.
As we didn't even get close to discuss all topics that came up in the given time frame we've scheduled the next #Phosh online community get together Electrons in Motion for in about two months time: https://ev.phosh.mobi/gettogether/ . See you there!
Two new (hopefully) useful additions to #Phosh's quick settings: There's now a (optional) location service toggle to enable / disable location services (contributed by
@gauthamx) and the caffeine quick setting can now automatically disable itself after a given period of time (contributed by
@rudraps). The possible timer intervals will become configurable in mobile settings at some point.
All my old phones installed with postmarketos SXMO UI.
Thanks to postmarketos, sxmo developers and
@pocketvj for additional customizations on top of sxmo.
Phones from top to bottom Lenovo A6000, Moto G (2015), Samsung On6/J6. And each old device can still be used with unlimited possibilities. #postmarketos#sxmo#linuxmobile
