Phosh on pmOS on my Fairphone 6 after display, GPU and mobile data updates.

Pipeline version 4.0.0 was released, overhauling downloading videos completely, and adding a history page. There were also many other changes done, which you can read about in the changelog.
Note that this release contains a breaking change for users of external video players. By default, Pipeline does not ship with the required permissions to spawn external programs anymore. You need to manually grant those permissions, as detailed in the preferences dialog of Pipeline.

This took me quite a bit of time, but I managed to boot postmarketOS on a currently unsupported devboard (commonly available for €25-30 where I live).

Little bit proud, but it's not a proper port yet, I ripped the kernel and other parts of the pre-init bootchain (fip.bin, u-boot, ...) from a pre-made Debian image for that device. I have a (mostly working) APKBUILD for that device's userland though. :)

CfP (deadline is 2026-06-30):
https://pretalx.postmarketos.org/postmarketos-conference-2026/cfp

"We are looking forward to your entry! No matter your background, everyone is welcome to be part of our event.
Your submission can be a short talk (max. 20 mins including questions), long talk (max. 60 mins including questions), workshop, meetup or discussion round (90 mins, for other durations please contact us).

The audience will consist of:
- kernel hackers
- distribution developers
- desktop environment maintainers
- activists
- end users
and potentially more groups of people. If your submission targets at least one of these groups, it's probably a good one! Ideally, it would also be related to postmarketOS in some way, but that is not a hard requirement."

An easy way to install #postmarketOS on the #Fairphone (Gen. 6), with the UBports installer and the postmarketOS web flasher!

The UBports installer config is currently under review, and the postmarketOS web flasher support for Fairphone (Gen. 6) is already live at https://flash.postmarketos.org/ Enjoy!

If you're interested in a semi-beginner friendly contribution opportunity in #postmarketOS, we currently have an issue with using Podman/Distrobox in the Console terminal emulator. @craftyguy already investigated it and found a probable root cause, so either just verifying his hypothesis or sending an actual fix upstream would be helpful!

See https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/work_items/4469 for more information.

I don't think I remember the last time I wrote code... Maybe like 2 or 3 weeks ago? And that is sinking like 20+ hours a week on #postmarketOS

It's quite crazy how governance and coordinating with people takes so much time 😅 The results are totally worth it though!
