#postmarketOS now boots on Samsung Galaxy Fame GT-S6810P! #Linux

polkitd no longer segfaults after I commented out a rule, it's not a fix, but rather a workaround.

But at least hey, I can use the brightness slider and now can even connect to my AP! #PinePhone

Phosh is nice on the #pinephone

Okay, @ManjaroARM on @PINE64 #pinephone

My talk about Linux on Mobile on #fosdem2020 with Merlijn Wajer from Maemo Leste is now online!

In my way to @fosdem now. And of courses I boarded my bus using the PinePhone running postmarketOS and Plasma Mobile using KDE Itinerary! So awesome!

A recent article on a big tech news site included this phrase:

"[...] Linux phones like the PinePhone, [...]are full of closed-source firmware from non-open components"

We'd like to clear the record: The #PinePhone has two blobs -- neither runs on the main SoC: One loaded to WiFi/BT module, other enclosed within the cell modem. In the modern world of tech, both blobs are unavoidable.

For an overview from someone with deep knowledge of both the PinePhone and Librem 5: https://tuxphones.com/yet-another-librem-5-and-pinephone-linux-smartphone-comparison/

Looks like someone's getting the #PinePhone camera up and running. 😊
