Crazy event! #fosdem #fosdem25 #opensource

@jwildeboer It was at #FOSDEM25 when I talked with MdEPs in the Parliament and they told me "the firewall to the right has already fallen." Manfred Weber is a liar, he never intended to NOT work with the right wing racists. He only cloaked his true intentions, that was the impression of his centrist and center-left colleagues that I talked to. I was surprised that he could carry on with this for so long.

Exactly 1 year ago, I ordered an FLX1 from @furilabs after seeing it at #FOSDEM25 . I was on the look-out for something as my phone had just died 2 days earlier.
My expectations were low, having only ever tried using a Pinephone (not pro)
Once i got the FLX1 in my hands, I was blown away by how well it worked.

Camera, GPS, Phone calls, Mobile data* all worked flawlessly out of the box. I can run android apps like signal or my banking app. And the Linux app ecosystem has almost anything I would need on FlatHub.
Battery life is decent even when running android apps, and I feel like I can rely on the device working when I need it.

(*) I am having some odd bugs with mobile data on my carrier, but one of the devs is helping me resolve it. ( thanks @fakeshell )

At first, there were obviously some rough edges.
E.G. I was unable to use the phone with a SIM I bought for a trip to Japan, I didn't know that i could use my banking app, or general instability.
Today however, many rough edges have been dealt with, and I have adapted to the device. The FLX1 is in my pocket right now and my only device 90% of the time.

The team behind the device have been extremely dedicated and helpful. I am very grateful for all the work they put into this awesome device.

If anyone is looking for a cool (non-SailfishOS) Linux phone that *works as a daily driver* I would definitely point them towards FuriLabs.
(Just expect there to be some issues, that's inevitable)
I don't have much experience with the current FLX1s, but that hardly matters as it's mainly about the software and experience.

Looking forward one more year! 🥂

Full disclosure: I will receive the dock for this phone in exchange for writing this post. In no way did FuriLabs influence what i said and I was planning on doing so anyway.

Very much looking forward to our upcoming first live recording of the #SoftwareFreedom #podcast together with @llas at 14:00 CET (Europe/Brussels), UA4.218

Lucas will share his insights about "can the #DMA help to protect #FreeSoftware developers working with #AOSP?"

I hope next year's FOSDEM they can accommodate for a quantum devroom again. This year (2026) it didn't happen, but 2025 it did and was amazing!

Just did my presentation on #imquic, my attempt at working on a QUIC library for real-time media, so #roq (RTP Over QUIC) and #moq, in #openmedia. Seemed well received, so I'm happy! You can find the slides at the link below, where a recording will also pop up soon in case you missed it
