Spent part of the evening going over accounting for the #GNOME Foundation after the first meeting of the Finance Committee of the year. I won't say it's exactly fun, but needs to be done, and I signed up for it voluntarily :D

News on our work probably won't come out before a month, since these things move slowly, but we made some progress!

#postmarketOS now ships with "doas" by default (replacing "sudo") 🎉

Thanks @justsoup for the patch!

@aks Since you mentioned it: this week Calligra is the first KDE app (as far as I can recall) to pass all the requirements and be featured!

Anyone in the #Linux community ever flash a Sony #Walkman with Linux? I have a NW-A306 that I love because of the dedicated physical buttons and aux port, but it’s still nice and small! However there are a few issues with it that make it anti-consumer that I’ve run into:

• You need a Google account
• If you ever forget your device pin, there is no easy way for the consumer to do a factory reset, even if you have the Google account credentials in your password vault. You have to go to a Sony service center and pay for a reset

Thinking about maybe becoming a maintainer for @postmarketOS on the NW-A306, but I have no clue on flashing feasibility, time commitment needed to get basic functions running. or bricking risks with Walkmans and Linux.

I really want to also recreate the Sony music app that simulates a cassette tape being played with even the cassette tape type changing based on bitrate and lossless vs lossy! I haven’t found such a music non-waveform visualizer Linux app yet, but surely there’s an existing Linux music visualizer app that would support just adding this kind of cassette visualization instead of writing having to write a music app from scratch, right?
