You know the amazing https://mobile.twitter.com/biktorgj who singlehandedly created a nearly-FOSS userland modem firmware for the #pinephone and #pinephonepro ? He supports the community, is incredibly stubborn, err, persistent, in the face of a weird modem and regularly improves the firmware. You can even tell your phone modem to remind you to buy milk now via SMS. He likes coffee and we think he deserves some as a token of gratitude 😍! Pour him one ☕ https://ko-fi.com/biktorgj

A recent kernel upgrade was missing some bits, preventing the proximity sensor on the #pinephone to properly work during phone calls (and prevent hanging up with your face during calls). This has now been corrected.
