New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026.

The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC devices.

A huge thanks to everybody who is supporting postmarketOS financially to make this possible! 😍

As a free software maintainer, this is entirely unacceptable. Now I have to spend time figuring out how to tell AI agents to *fuck off* so I don't have to deal with this.

AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.

As we've posted in our monthly blog posts before we're working hard on hardware CI to automatically run a bunch of tests on various phones for changes in the software we ship.

To accomplish this some of our team members have created PCB's to connect the phones to so we have full control over them, and after some iterations the first batch of the production units have just arrived!

We'll start setting them up in the hackathon we're doing after #FOSDEM and we'll soon share the initial results!

We made good progress on automated hardware testing in postmarketOS, resulting in being able to run pmaports changes on a real OP6T! Thanks to everybody who donated to postmarketOS or contributed their time to make this possible! ❤️
