#U-Boot 📢 -- U-Boot v2024.10 has been released: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2024-October/566393.html and the next branch will be merged to master soon. Thanks for the hard work everyone!

🚚 The migration to our self-hosted gitlab instance at https://gitlab.postmarketos.org is mostly done. See the status update here: https://status.postmarketos.org/issues/2024-10-06-migration-to-gitlab.postmarketos.org/

Accounts are being approved. Let us know if you run into issues in the postmarketos-devel channel!

@alatiera Let's do embrace, extend, extinguish.

1. Bring Flatpak to Windows.
2. Everyone uses pretty Flatpaks.
3. Drop Windows support.

In case you didn't know, Mobian is getting closer and closer to official support for the Pixel 3a! As a Mobian dev and mobile Linux user, I think this is really cool.

I have bought a Pixel 3a online twice, and both times I was sent a 3 instead. I'm getting discouraged, but I still have a hope: you!

If anyone have a Pixel 3a laying around that you'd be willing to sell to me, please reach out!

@flamingradian @hexaheximal and don't forget "reduce": if we aren't buying new phones every year, then we put a LOT less in the landfill

@hexaheximal Google has a trade-in program, but it's just cooler and more efficient to install pmOS with a 6.10 kernel ("Reuse" comes before "Recycle").

🪞 Introducing Mirror Hall, an app to turn any Linux devices into a second wireless monitor!

We use semi-custom P2P screen sharing optimized for low latency. Only Mutter-based DEs are currently supported as *senders*, whereas all DEs work as receivers.

This is our first unstable release, sp please be kind and report issues. If you are an #ARM user, we would love your help testing the gstreamer pipeline on new phones!
