Since there are 3GB replacement mainboards available now for the #pinephone I made a video on the process of replacing the board:

WooHoo, QOTO is trending on reddits r/engineering! It has been getting us a nice influx of new users too, cool!

Latest #ArchLinuxARM with #Phosh for the #PinePhone works surprisingly well, I'd dare to even call it "daily-driver worthy".

In particular power management around the modem has been vastly improved thanks to Megi's work and perhaps most importantly call audio quality is now free of crackling noise with the latest 5.9 kernel.

(pacman -Syu as the first thing after you flash)

Thanks to Danct12, Megi & the PinePhone community for the work they've been doing on the SW.

Some new goodies for #Plasma are landing on unstable by Solus Plasma and KDE maintainer Girtablulu at the moment! Get ready for an update of:

- QT 5.15.1
- #KDE Applications 20.8.2
- KDE Framework 5.75
- Plasma Desktop 5.20.1

🎉

But as always, if you use the unstable repo, wait to update until we give the okay inside our IRC development channel, it's gonna take a while to build everything. Stable repo is still obviously not affected. 😀

@humanetech there should be more awareness campaigns about the - crucial - difference between git the protocol and github the site. Github's more of a social network rather than code hosting with their "features"

@ramob @PINE64 Yep take your time 😀

Schools and open source:

"Why, after all, proprietary software developers offer gratis copies of their nonfree programs to schools? Because they want to use the schools to implant dependence on their products, like tobacco companies distributing cigarettes to school children. They will not give gratis copies to these students once they've graduated... Once you're dependent, you're expected to pay, and future upgrades may be expensive."

If this happens it would be a major fuckup

Google’s new web standard could disable your ad-blocker | TechRadar

Holy crap, google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech. At least three apps I know of anyway and I'd imagine the others will follow soon under the exact same reasoning.} Seems to be the case with Husky, Fedilab, and "subway" tooter.

this is a scary precedent if google play is going to ban any apps that can in any way be used to access content with hate speech. So what about a forum client, do they take that down just because there is a forum somewhere on the internet posting hate speech?

This is particularly worrisome because for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.
