Love seeing mentions of #postmarketOS/#nuraeco in the wild like this.

Screenshot from gsmarena.com wherein the following conversation takes place:

AnonD-1209585: This is the best budget phone of all time, fight me.

MajidVF: Yes only because it can run postmarketOS

As of yesterday you can finally adjust media, notification, and call volume independently in #postmarketOS #Phosh! The Phosh shell currently lacks support for configuring this, but Phosh Mobile Settings has sliders for it in the "Feedback" page. This was made […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

Man the Google AI really lost it this time.

"Search result" for "spending the afternoon in a slowly revolvin door" (title of a song) where Google's AI helpfully explains how to best enjoy such a "meditative experiment".

I really admire how bad the contrast manages to be on this website.

What is Deutsche Bahn warning about. Nothing shows if I hover over it. We are not delayed so you can't slack off when getting off the train?

Screenshot of iceportal.de showing that we are on time to Dortmund Hbf. Next to the punctuality information is an inexplicable warning symbol.

So far I'm enjoying the new #Snälltåget day train to Hamburg. Much better than the decrepit DB & DSB EuroCity I've taken before, nicer carriages and most crucially the staff doesn't act like they have joint custody over a child they hate. Good food too!

Had a stab at making #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap able to automatically update the checksum of all packages with unstaged and uncomitted changes. Incredibly satisfying to not have to awkwardly script this or manually copy git output! MR is up if you want to try it […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

The Malmö-Basel night train looks like it's going to make for a nice connection between #Malmö and #Paris as well when it gets going. Feels like I haven't heard a lot of good #CrossBorderRail news lately, particularly for night trains, but this is pretty cool!

Another banger of an MR finally merged after years of work! Really looking forward to a smoother #GNOME experience on my laptop.

No way, they finally merged it. Over five years of work.

More reasons to avoid Google Maps and I suppose more broadly Google. I don't live nor currently reside in the USA (or using a VPN for that matter), why am I getting this bullshit name?

If anyone still is confused about whether the USA is our ally. (full article: www.ft.com/content/ace02a6f-3307-43…)

I really wish I understood this scam. Why did my apparent identity thief who's seemingly called Isabella share this number with me. There's also a base64-encoded PNG image included, but try as I might I can't get it to render.

Email with the subject and body "11:47:42".

First photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S III on #postmarketOS, probably! Credits to Jack Kekzoz, @martijnbraam, and whoever else helped him with getting #Megapixels working on the Midas (Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II) devices — I'm just posting about this […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

Did you ever want to play Subway Surfers on #postmarketOS without any Android emulation? No? Okay, well, apparently you can: yell0wsuit.page/assets/games/subway…
