I replaced my document readers #Evince and #Okular with Papers 📖

Papers is planned to replace Evince as the default document viewer on #Gnome 

It is a fork of Evince with about a third of the code migrated to #RustLang

FINALLY ACHIEVED MY DREAM OF OWNING A LINUX PHONE.

The Pixel 3A arrived today so @AmyIsCoolz helped me install @postmarketOS on it. 😅

It works absolutely well - I'll be mainly using this for my Denaro / Spending records. It's AMAZING!

* lots more!

Powered by... you! Look at all these names, thanks to everybody who contributed, you are awesome! 🥳

Finally got a chance to load up #PostmarketOS on a #pixel3a . It's still not ready for prime the but damn... it's exciting to watch it get better.

EDIT: For all those people asking me why it's not ready for prime time, I've got a new website and I think my first post should be a more detailed set of issues (large and small) that I've found with #PostmarketOS. Give me a week or two.

And thanks for all the boosts and favourites! My most popular post yet?

Just a FYI, #Lomiri (Unity 8) being merged in #postmarketOS is a massive achievement.

Essentially, this tightens the gap between pmOS and the near-Android Ubuntu Touch UI that lots of people liked. Thanks @justsoup!

Mon 3rd Feb, just a day after the #FOSDEM we'll have small HackDay in Brussels — hopefully making more cameras run well on #Linux, #embedded, #postmarketOS & #Mobian

If you're interested to help with hacking around #LinuxKernel CCS, #libcamera or #Qualcomm CAMSS (not limited to) ping us on #qcom-camss OFTC IRC channel or here.
