"Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the #Pinetab2, #PineNote and #PinePhone. #PineStore founder #TLLim has stated that he doesn’t wish to increase the price of hardware significantly so production is halted for the time being."

Until the #AI bubble bursts.

Also, no #PinePhone2 any time soon, for various reasons 😞

Thoughts aren't fully formed so this doesn't warrant a writeup yet, but so far I've got the following things I'm trying to figure out in #PostmarketOS:

• why does my phone keep clicking? Sounds like any system event triggers an audio response.
• is there a way to get a package in after pmbootstrap install by mutating the chroot directly? My changes apparently don't end up in the flashed image.
• I need to figure out how to get debug logs. Disabling Bluetooth hard crashes the device and results in a reboot in <5 seconds. (Its kind of reassuring to realize this was a device issue rather than a PostmarketOS issue). Remote debugging hopefully will also help me sort out why plasma-mobile sometimes just doesn't appear after unlocking.
• Something screwy with languages selection. I was trying to add a Japanese input method (anything to start) but Plasma Mobile has an empty languages section while Phosh has two different keyboard sections each with a different set of languages. Neither appears to give me some form of IME.
• I'll probably have to sort out how to configure u-boot. The text flys by so quickly it isn't useful to see it, so I'd like to give myself a theme.
• With how often I reflash the device to test, it would be very helpful to stick my Wifi credentials directly into the image so the phone comes online connected and ready for debugging/remote access.

I'm sure some of these have trivial answers while others are rabbit holes, but I wanted to publicly put my initial thoughts out there for an eventual writeup.

Since #android gets closed, I am thinking about how to develop #applications in the future.

I would like to stay with #java , since that's what I am most familiar with.

My applications should, besides a #linux #desktop, also run on #mobiles , once #linux becomes more mature on them (e.g. #postmarketos, #mobian , #ubuntutouch ).

Is it #javafx , or #qtjamba ?

Or even something completely different?

What to use? What is expected to be mostly compatible with future #mobile #devices running mainline #linux ?

Have been experimenting with both, #javafx and #qujamba, using #apache #netbeans as my #ide, and both make a nice impression and work well.

Any comments?

#47 FOSDEM 2026 Special

🎙️ Whoever placed a bunch of big tables and benches at the ULB parkinglot rocks, having those allowed us to record a podcast featuring fifteen (!) people sharing their experiences on FOSDEM Sunday. Lots of folks from postmarketOS and special guests:

* @ariadne from Alpine Linux
* @flypig from Sailfish OS
* @1peter10 from LINMOB.net

Huge thanks to @williamtries and @tgm for editing this episode!
