KDE Telemetry collects data on you, if you opt-in, and it has a clear description of what is collected, why, what the retention policy is and how you can switch it back off.

It's off by default, and distributors of binaries (e.g. distro's) can disable it entirely at compile time.

That's how it should be (policy is here: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy )

I got #bananui 🍌 , the GUI for #LinuxMobile on feature phones, to work together with #wroomd on a #Nokia2780 with #postmarketOS. It's now almost possible to use it as an actual phone! 📞

UI source code: https://git.abscue.de/obp/bananui/shell

WIP pmaports fork: https://gitlab.com/affenull2345/pmaports/-/tree/nokia-weeknd (currently missing audio for voice calls and kernel packaging)

Some progress on #Waydroid settings integration in #Gnome system settings on #Droidian

I'm glad to finally see the "Purism is a scam company" story getting real traction four years after I initially published my blog series on the subject.

Better late than never.

pmbootstrap 2.0.0 is here:

https://git.sr.ht/~postmarketos/pmbootstrap/refs/2.0.0

After bumping the minor version 53 (!) times in 1.x.y, we have some
breaking changes justifying a major version bump.

Highlights of this release are generating fstab and crypttab, support for the mtkclient flasher and better locale selection in "pmbootstrap init".

For users it should still feel the same overall. Enjoy this release, and thanks so much to everybody who contributed to it! ❤️
