Still a lot work to do, but for the first time, we got completely integrated CI testing of kernels running... on a phone! For what I know, this is a first for a non-multi-million-euro-company in the FOSS world!! Can't be more proud of it and all the people that helped during this journey.

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/jobs/1465886 is a bit cryptic, and might look like any other gitlab CI job, but is actually booting on a OP6T at @mupuf farm!!

There's still a long road ahead, but in the future we might be able to automate kernel upgrades with a lot less manual testing, and continue working the "reliability" goal we presented in https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/03/30/pmOS-year-priorities/

Huge thanks to @mupuf for all his work and dedication on ci-tron, to @cas for the initial dream and work all across the stack, to @fizzo and @corna, for the PCB that drives the phone, and to @fun, @adrianyyy, and @cas again for the work on Tauchgang. Truly team work :)

More details in some weeks in a blog post near you ;)

@noisytoot @postmarketOS Ah, fun...

@Flutterbrony @postmarketOS I don't know, haven't heard of anyone working on that.

Is it this? https://github.com/sailfishos/lipstick

@noisytoot @postmarketOS It is, as far as I know

@harmathy @postmarketOS Interesting, how well does it work?

@sashin @postmarketOS cool :D

@Flutterbrony @postmarketOS IIRC Glacier went unmaintained and was thus removed from pmOS

a high-profile software project proudly announcing that it's going to start "using AI" is basically the same thing to me as seeing a big "this repo is archived" banner. perhaps even worse in some respects? intentionally or not, the message it sends is "we don't really enjoy programming and we don't want to work on this anymore, but rather than retire the project we're going to do a really lackluster job from now on". like if your favorite coffee brand proudly announced "now 20% more sawdust"

"Al slop [...] was just vomited into existence."

About AI in writing/publishing...

I keep wondering what they were smoking at Digital Equipment Corporation when they designed the logo for their Alpha CPUs

@domi @nina_kali_nina don't have a console ui thing?

Had a bit of an improvised hacking amd socialozing weekend with @fossdd and @adrianyyy coming to visit at my place! Lots of chatting and hacking! We mostly worked on pmaports maintenance, documentation, systemd sub packages, mainline kernel in pmaports and HW-CI integration

@karolherbst @ada_magicat @danirabbit @tragivictoria Windows might be a complete disaster internally, yet there are still people using it and apparently can get work done there still.

(that said I cannot stand windows)

@karolherbst @tragivictoria @ada_magicat @danirabbit IME most people just couldn't care less about what underlying tech they run. All they care about is that it works.
