I've wrote a little blog post how I managed to get from a fully proprietary environment to FLOSS.

Follow-up from @martijnbraam on the automated phone testing pt. 1 article: https://blog.brixit.nl/automated-phone-testing-pt-2/

Hey users, if you want to improve linux support on smartphones, read this article: https://connolly.tech/posts/2022_09_16-how-to-help-linux-mobile
@calebccff thanks for amazing article.

Anyway I tried Xonotic on the OnePlus 6, it's crazy.
Highest graphics details with native resolution and Xonotic running smoothly, more than 60fps.

I decided to give the @gnome shell mobile work a try on the #OnePlus 6 and it feels great!

if you own a OnePlus 6 or another well supported @postmarketOS device you can give it a go using this branch of pmaports: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/tree/feature/gnome-mobile

We are still a massive €254 short for the server bills for mstdn.social, misskey.ai, mastodon.coffee, pixey.org and some more free open source services ​

Hopefully next month I can pay most of it with a new job but that doesn't help now..

If you can, please think about supporting me in paying the bills for the various #Fediverse services I host for free❤️

"@EU_Commission is seeking to improve phone and tablet battery life and spare parts availability. [..] European regulators are planning to force phone manufacturers to supply at least 15 different parts to professional repairers for five years after a device first goes on sale. Consumers will also get guaranteed access to replacement batteries, displays, chargers, back covers, and even SIM / memory card trays for five years.

The draft proposals are designed to improve #repairability of smartphones and tablets and reduce their carbon footprint across Europe. The Financial Times reports that extending #smartphone lifecycles by five years would be roughly the equivalent of removing 5 million cars from the road. The EU argues that forcing manufacturers to make products that are more durable and easier to repair should reduce e-waste, and improve recycling rates and the reuse of materials needed to manufacturer devices."

Thanks @Fairphone for beeing a role model and sharing this!
