Severe weather in the area recently, and my OnePlus 6T phone running #postmarketos received the cell broadcast alert! Certainly many to thank for this feature being available on #mobilelinux, including @phosh@social.phosh.mobi @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems and many more I don't even know. #phosh #duranium

@signalapp Please support Linux so we can lower dependence on Apple and their control of our privacy. We've been asking for Linux Arm builds in the Signal CI pipeline for years but it just isn't being prioritized or responded to. E.g. discussion here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/560dcb91d98ba1177162372a2837919225e3e2c9#commitcomment-176220509

@anildash This resonates so strongly with me. I find with so many new technologies (AI, blockchains, prediction markets), people on one side declare them as evil bullshit, and people on the other side over-hype them to try to quickly make loads of money off of people. And I always find myself in a middle ground that they are cool technologies, how can we deploy them in ways that empower people, rather than extract and harm to enrich a few.

@stefan Here is my recommendation: https://loganmetz.bandcamp.com/track/sunrise

@r I think @craftyguy was asking about something like this recently

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Such a pity, it used to be such an outstanding company.

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place Nice write up! I would have recommended starting with phosh. It's quite a bit more polished than the Gnome Mobile experience at the moment.

@kop316 Link from which the screenshot came: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada) I do see similar language on the Mobian site: "It's recommended that you upgrade Android to the latest available version and install all system updates before installing Mobian, because Mobian uses FW files from Android partitions for enabling various peripherals (e.g. WIFI)." https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/OnePlus/OnePlus6

@kop316 I just did this last night. Worked great. What method did you use to update the firmware though? After using MSM, the phone would be on OxygenOS 9.0.11. I think putting any Linux distro requires updating the OOS version (and firmware) to something newer. But my phone is not getting OTA updates. Is yours? Am also trying to use the Oxygen Updater app from Google Play Store, but haven't gotten that to work yet.

@carlrichell@fosstodon.org Do you have an idea of who is behind the push for these laws? It seemed odd that so many jurisdictions happened to take up this legislation at the same moment. There must be some group or organization pushing this but I never understood who or why.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online Yelp fully blocks me from using their site on a mobile browser, you get a pop up to open the app and no alternative way forward. I don't want their app. And I also don't get why they do that.

@M0CUV@mastodon.radio Oh wow! I had not seen that. Thanks for sharing.
