Folks owning a Nvidia Tegra 2/3/4 device, you might be interested in Svyatoslav Ryhel's work of replacing the proprietary bootloader ✨

> Svyatoslav ported most of these devices without owning one, just relying on testing from people. This means anyone having such a device can reach him and eventually will be able to replace the old proprietary vendor bootloader with U-Boot.

@postmarketOS Makes me wish my tf700t wouldn't be so bricked to not be able to even enter fastboot anymore…

Speaking of articles: Europe's biggest IT and tech magazine @ct_Magazin published 3 pages where @ktn gave Phosh, Gnome Mobile, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo and even i3wm on the N900 a try and interviewed @ollieparanoid for it.

"pmOS offers pure adventure, as in the early days of desktop Linux: command-line, DIY, self-built, customized installation images with partially obscure UIs. What you get in return: sustainability, freedom and unimaginable access to the OS and hardware." (roughly translated quote)

@postmarketOS @ct_Magazin @ktn @ollieparanoid Thank you for reminding me that "cell phone" in German is "Handy". I also wanna thank Stephen Fry for introducing me to this in the first place

@postmarketOS @alpinelinux @gnome @plasmamobile @PINE64 I picked a good time to try it out on my #pinebookpro! Excited to update and get some audio!

As a not-so-nerdy & non-dev user, you cannot imagine how much i'm looking forward to using Linux with #GNOME on mobile at some point!

Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.

You can sign it, too!

Imagine that this device is not only a smartphone, a TV, but also a washing machine, a fridge, a car, an autonomous driving truck, an autonomous flying cab, ...

Imagine there will be competition at the interface between hardware and software: No more walled gardens. No more "golden" cages: you sovereignly decide the operating system of your property: you decide who should have control over your property.

Fewer #bugs, less #fraud, no more #bugdoor s and no more #backdoos.

@postmarketOS @fsfe FSFE: we're several people who want to sign but just like @tomterl when we click to confirm, we're getting the 'limit exceeded, 20 requests...' error, and then "Not Found No such pending confirmation ID".

Could you please fix this and inform us when it is done? I would like to share this more broadly, and it'd be better if people were not met with an error message. Thanks!

@postmarketOS @ubports is this the primary distro for pinephone now? I haven't really looked into it since they stopped doing community editions and released the pro model. But i still have one and would like to play around again.

This time on the podcast, @dos from @purism talks about his Die Hard GNU/Linux User On Phones life. How he's developing lots of great things for Phoc/Phosh, the Librem 5 and how he implemented his personal dream of shrinking windows that he had since the Openmoko days.
