Kaidan 0.7 also works nicely on the #pinephone with @plasmamobile!
So additionally to telephony and SMS, you can also connect with your friends via #XMPP on a 100% open-source device!
Thanks to the awesome work of @alexeymin, Discover now supports #apk (the Alpine Linux package manager)! Coming soon in a @postmarketOS edge upgrade near you, and also the upcoming v21.03 release!
I've received my #PinePhone #KDE community edition today, and I'm quite impressed by the hardware and software, congratulations to everybody involved!
Update is necessary immediately, as I was not able to close an app before it, but once it's done it's working well.
So this year I'll try to find time to port the #Libervia #XMPP client on #FOSS mobile OSes.

It was obvious but just saying again, @kde @plasmamobile does not have any control over what you can or can not install on your phone. β€οΈ

You might have read that Angelfish now has a built-in ad blocker. Today I wrote down how the implementation was done, since it involves Rust code in a C++ project:
