I'm going on a 4 day vacation to the north sea tomorrow and I think I'm taking the @postmarketOS phone.
The 25.06 release is the one where finally everything clicks into place for me. It's super stable. I can even take pictures! Not the prettiest, but good enough to capture memories.
We did a small #embedded #Linux hackfest in #Prague Karlín! We moved forward with upstreaming #Pixel3 , we tested #Pixel3XL ability to boot and started working towards OLED enablement, we discussed #Camera (both #libcamera and #libobscura ) on #LinuxMobile phones #postmarketOS with @pavel
When going to higher display resolutions in #phosh #stevia's 
can become a bit small to type with (as our 
s usually don't adjust to display size). I've thus cooked up an MR that allows to keep the physical size of the OSK constant (in portrait mode for now).
On top of that one can add a "dead zone" at the bottom of the OSK which helps on taller devices like the #OP6 as the 
otherwise tends to tilt when typing on the bottom row.
For me this is a typing speed booster.

postmarketOSv25.06: the one with systemdAiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones
Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding:
One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions.
As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it:

@postmarketOS @plasmamobile @NGIZero and of-course, this work will benefit @phosh or any other #LinuxMobile project using modem manager!

Blog post: A short overview how text auto correction and completion via the on screen keyboard can be configured in #Phosh and what the different options do: https://phosh.mobi/posts/osk-completion/
Phosh · On Screen Keyboard Text Correction and Completionphosh-osk-stub is an alternative on screen keyboard (OSK) for Phosh featuring several methods of text auto correction and completion. In the following we look at the different options available and how to use and configure them:
For any form of completion to be available, the application that features the text input needs to support the text-input-unstable-v3 Wayland protocol. If that isn’t available phosh-osk-stub will enter a fall back mode where it acts more like a physical keyboard (via the virtual-keyboard Wayland protocol) and disable completion.

So yesterday I saw a @postmarketOS toot about their web flasher for Android devices, and I thought - how hard would it be to make one for L5? Turns out - not hard at all. Here it is booting Jumpdrive.
Some caveats:
- requires permission setting on Linux 
I may work out-of-box on other platforms though
- it's sloooow, but there's hope: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1271
- asks 5 times to allow access to the device. Could go down to 3, but no less than that.
