another blog post! trying to channel my creativity into this marginally more productive form :D

On fixing UX bugs, the lack of external contributors to Phosh, and why you can actually probably just fix things yourself (it might be easier than you think).

Made an initial merge request to get the wonderful improvements from @user0 into mobile-config-firefox. :firefoxnew:

The idea is to make desktop firefox behave more similar to the Android version, e.g. getting rid of the extra tab bar, and some of the buttons around the urlbar to have more space for typing the URL.

Merge request with test instructions, feedback welcome:

Huge thanks to user0! 🎉

pmbootstrap 2.0.0 is here:

git.sr.ht/~postmarketos/pmboot

After bumping the minor version 53 (!) times in 1.x.y, we have some
breaking changes justifying a major version bump.

Highlights of this release are generating fstab and crypttab with UUIDs, support for the mtkclient flasher and better locale selection in "pmbootstrap init".

For users it should still feel the same overall. Enjoy this release, and thanks so much to everybody who contributed to it! ❤️
