@martijnbraam I'd say awesome developers at Lima has done quite awesome job. From barely able to render wallpaper to proper and complete UI on GPU rendering. This is quite awesome work.

We have quite a few Ubuntu Touch apps flatpaked now. After the last build infrastructure problems are figured out they should be ready to use on Plasma Mobile.

Ready for the new updates for #PlasmaMobile? @kde Plasma-for-your-Phone introduces the first steps towards multiple homescreens, timers for KClock, new podcast and Mastodon apps, and much, much more.

About two months ago I decided to use my spare time to work on a Plasma Mobile/Kirigami podcast player. Mostly because I wanted to do a hobby project to learn qml. And also a bit because there seemed to be no (mobile) linux podcast players which were anywhere near what I wanted to see in a podcast player.

Two months later I suddenly find myself with developer access to KDE and a project under review for regular release through KDE / plasma mobile. 😃

I love the FOSS and KDE communities!

RMS' return to #FSF leadership is a slap in the face of everyone working to make the #FOSS community a more welcoming place. Join this open letter calling for his removal: https://rms-open-letter.github.io/

The #XOrg Foundation Board of Directors is joining calls for RMS to be removed from all leadership positions in the FOSS community, including the #FSF and GNU, and for the FSF board to resign.

i don't know about you, but i'm pretty sure most of my stress comes from the fact that fuckers like that are massively profiting from exploiting workers during a pandemic while tech bros are applauding their super deep aphorisms
