I am looking for the "most missing" native apps for mobile Linux to be built in 4th semester student internship projects using libhandy. My criteria:
- no such app exists or is in development with substantial progress
- open source reference implementation is available (e.g. desktop or Android app)
- the app is small and not very complex (good example: offline dictionary)
- the app is useful for a large userbase and not only in a niche.
Suggestions/ideas warmly welcome!
First service pack in 2022 is out - v21.12 SP1 with a revived Nokia N900, support for the PinePhone keyboard ⌨️ , and more!
@PINE64 Could you please clarify the situation regarding FCC/CE certifications of the #pinephonepro explorer edition? Your product page claims:
> Technical details, including schematics, information pertaining to individual components as well as available operating systems, certification and much more is available on our Wiki.
However, I can't find said information. I am asking you directly because I didn't get an answer in the forums either:

Thank you!
You know, this is really irresponsible: was just looking into /e/ OS and the Murena Fairphone and apps are installed from a third-party app repository run by fuck-knows-who.

According to this campaign update, 100 backers and the initiator of a popular kickstarter project have to pay VAT twice as Royal Mail failed to bundle customs information with packages and is rejecting to take responsibility:

Mistakes happen, but refusing to take responsibility is a big shame.

"Recommended procedure for installing Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) on ARM64-based machines"

This is a major rewrite of my previous articles. I updated it for Debian 11 and tried to make it more concise.

The hardware of my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini VE is protected fine by an #otterbox Defender. But how about the software?
I thought it would deserve an OS that is more secure than the "latest" Android 4.4 when Samsung stopped supporting it.
Now experimenting with #postmarketos running #plasmamobile:
Finally, I found a satisfying solution for cooling down the northbridge of a KGPE-D16-based #coreboot system.
I installed a Titan TTC-SC07TZ bracket that is long enough to reach to the northbridge. I replaced one of its fans by a different model from #noctua and now temps are below 55°C.
I plan to optimize this setup further by swapping the fan for the 92mm "slim" PWM version so it's speed can be better controlled using PWM instead of the old-school voltage regulator for the 3pin fans.
Happy to announce the first service pack of v21.03! 🎉
Users who have this release installed can upgrade to it with the usual mechanisms (GNOME Software, KDE Discover, or apk upgrade -a).
Lol, yes, I think "this branch has conflicts that must be resolved" couldn't be more true, looking at the PR discussion...😄

I wonder if there is an official date for the release of #BigBlueButton v2.3 planned. Is there?
Background: I need to upgrade one of my bbb servers as it's still on #ubuntu 16.04 - and is announced to be EOL at the end of this month. Although 2.3-dev runs pretty well, it would be great to go directly for bbb-2.3 final.
Btw. - the improvements in v2.3 are a huge step forward and highly appreciated, it runs really pretty fine on my test server since the early alpha versions.
