Hey folks! The PINE64 community will be at FOSDEM this year. Our location will be K1-A-11, Sunday only! We'll be showing off some new and old hardware along with some demos.

Community members Ralim (IronOS), JF (InfiniTime), Gamiee (PineVoice), Caffeine (Community Manager), Shymega (OpenPineBuds), TL Lim (PineStore founder) and others will be in attendance this year!

See you there!

someone has a sense of humor here

We're ready at #FOSDEM2026! Come visit us at UD2 and we'll tell you about all the awesome things we do and what happened since last year.

We're showing off Fairphone as a desktop setup, our brand-new hardware CI, our work-in-progress immutable edition and more!

Also, we have some limited amount of t-shirts to sell, so come by before they run out!

A double-feature of postmarketOS related talks is coming up in the FOSS on Mobile devroom UB4 132 at #fosdem, starting at 15:00 (in a bit more than 1h):

Mainline kernel for Fairphones - 2026 update by @z3ntu

this is by far the best depiction of the fediverse ever created

[source](https://about.fb.com/news/2024/06/what-is-the-fediverse/)

@eloy the best open source is supported by multiple entities working from multiple continents. This assures independence and proper cultural representation

@eloy That being said stuff like NLnet are absolutely awesome to have, I wish there were more similar orgs like them.

@eloy I always tend to hate it when some person brings up digital sovereignty and is like "yeah we at europe need software and infra in europe and open source in europe!!!!"

They just don't understand how open source works, open source has no barriers with regards to continents or countries. Everyone can and does contribute.

As for infra in Europe, they also completely miss the point. The *main* issue is centralised infra controlled by governments *IN GENERAL*, it not being american does not make the issue somehow less severe.

Welcome to politics, where politicians debate about stuff they have literally zero idea about.

Not what I expected from Technology Connections, but sounds about right.

@jernej__s @domi @toast omw to source 16 TB qualcomm UFS modules to do that (these use 4k sectors)

Yet another day of screaming at digital enshitiffication:

1. My coworkers and I are in a car driving to FOSDEM.
2. We pull up to charge the car.
3. Charging station REQUIRES you to use an app, no option to just pay with a card.
4. We try to install the stupid app. We carry phones running:
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- LineageOS, postmarketOS, iOS
5. Neither of our phones meet requirements to install the stupid app (Play Integrity API).
6. My iPhone can't install the app, because it's "Not available in your country".
7. We give up and drive to another charging station.

This is NOT how you introduce applications, "Circle K"

Woof.

Some "assume you can divide Open Source neatly into European and not European. This is not the case", highlights Felix.

"We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average."

Nvidia, you can't just say in an interview that you rebuilt the chain-of-trust on the Tegra X1, working around the bootrom exploit, without telling us how!

@barebox Does this mean I can run barebox from u-boot? xD

@ariadne what can I say, if you can compromise it, could be fosdem-worthy :D

@ariadne aha, now that's different
