Small donations but I really like to be able to give something. This month, I gave a bit to:
- @gentoo
- @postmarketOS
- @kde
- #firefox
- @godotengine
- and #megi who does incredible work with #pine64 devices

@godotengine 's one-time donation is still a pain to find. Still have to go through https://godot.foundation/#donate - there's no easy way to reach it from https://godotengine.org/

Megi's rk2aw tool can change the boot ROM bootloader load order on some devices with Rockchip processors to make it easier to boot first from an SD card. Works with the PinePhone Pro and other devices with RK3399, RK3588, and RK3566/68 chips. https://xnux.eu/rk2aw/

#ArchLinux / #danctnix now ships #Linux #megi 6.4 which has all #PinePhonePro patches for correct camera rotation and location (front/back - used for automatic mirroring in some apps and better camera naming).

This is a great step for having a good camera experience out of the box - the only thing still missing is #wireplumber being installed by default (see https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/issues/537)

After that, one can e.g. install #gnomesnaphot or @dino from #Flathub and it should just work.

#LinuxMobile

Megi's rk2aw tool for the Pinephone Pro and other devices with RK3399, RK3588,and RK3566 chips that will make it easier to try different bootloader's, boot from different devices, or charge your phone without it turning on. https://xnux.eu/log/089.html

Just came home and there are great news: the last patch needed for the #PinePhonePro to expose proper camera orientation (front/back) just got pulled into #megi #Linux 6.4. Together with previously landed patches (partly upstream, partly megi) for the right rotations (90/270 deg), users using #PipeWire and #libcamera will have a much better camera experience.

Meanwhile, there's a coup attempt in 🇷🇺 by Wagner. I'd say a good day for #LinuxMobile, 🇺🇦 and the world :)
