We've started rolling out the much awaited Mecha Hub!

To get started, access the Mecha Hub using this link: https://hub.mecha.so/

You can use the hub to place, and manage, your pre-order with us. Thank you again for your support in helping us build the Mecha Comet :)

Apart from supported devices, what are the deciding factors to choose between @mobian and @postmarketOS ?

Building for Mobian is easy in docker (we use https://tangled.org/me.webbeef.org/beaver/blob/main/support/docker/Dockerfile.arm64), not sure if pmbootstrap is also usable in CI? Ideally we would create updatable images with cage (https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage) as the wayland compositor and Beaver as the user environment.

It would be great to have @delta running on Beaver (both desktop and mobile UX). Not sure what we need to add that would be non-standard - ideally as little as possible.

Some questions:
- does chat-core compile to wasm?
- with the json-rpc backend, are server <-> client notifications working?

A D-BUS question for the #linux people: why does https://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/KbdBacklight.html expose GetMaxBrightness(), getBrightness() and SetBrightness() for the keyboard lights, but https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/org.freedesktop.login1.html only has SetBrightness() ?

It's unfortunate but very much true that browsing today's web without a content blocker is not a great experience.

The 🦫 browser now has support for EasyList block lists thanks to the AdBlock crate (https://docs.rs/adblock/latest/adblock/) that any Servo embedder can hook up easily.

We published the 4th episode of "Teach the Web new Tricks!", and it's about Web Tasks: https://webbeef.org/webtasks.html

And of course, it works transparently in multi-device environnements 🐈
