The Key2 family up to date. January 2026 security patch, Android 15.
Well, almost. There's still some polishing up to do but overall the port is in good shape. The regular Key2 has more issues than LE currently (and that is so sad - much nicer device). Apart from some modem firmware issues (Damn you BlackBerry for not releasing Pie!!!) the rest of the issues are very simple and should be fixed really soon. Feels good.
What's also important: all earlier co-op and funding from AuroraOS many years back (of Russia) has been cut off by Jolla.
Sailfish OS is NOT 100% closed source, as some still claim it to be. Jolla has also promised that the REMAINING blobs will be opened. There are good reasons for this situation.
95% of Sailfish OS bases on free / open source software. The OS itself utilize Linux kernel (which is open source). Mer that was used is open-source. Qt Framework API's base on open-source Qt API's.

In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that the existing Julian calendar insufficiently represented reality, and changed the rules about calculating leap years to account for this. Similarly, in A.D....
I've sent off the first one of many #uboot enablement patches for the MT6878/CMF Phone 1
Starting off with: UFS :)
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/2025101[email protected]/
And if that wasn't enough - yep, that's first stage U-Boot on the CMF Phone 1.
This device has a vulnerability in its secure boot system allowing unsigned bl2 and lk images. I've settled on replacing lk, as bl2_ext initializes clocks, PDs and importantly display (which U-Boot is currently incapable of on this platform). So, the CMF logo is drawn by bl2, after that it's all U-Boot.
Such a simple boot sequence too:
Preloader -> bl2_ext -> u-boot
Finally - after some 6 hours of work, and multiple new drivers, fixes to the tree - #uboot with internal storage (ufs), and USB gadget is up on the CMF Phone 1 (MediaTek MT6878).
This was my first attempt at writing some uboot drivers - a learning experience. But I'm glad it all worked out, and now #postmarketOS will have an open bootchain on a modern MediaTek platform! Looking to upstream these patches after I clean everything up.
The old web was decentralized:
- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs
Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.
The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.
Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.
