It was quite close that Anja Hirschel (Piratenpartei) also got a seat. Sad that it didn't work out. I am sure she would have been as active as #1 (Czech Pirate Party - Česká pirátská strana).

As expected a Pirate Party Member (Markéta Gregorová) on top of the defenders list :)

Sad that they didn't get a seat in Luxembourg and Germany (So incredibly close! Only 18.000 Votes missing over all of Germany)

I hope that next election Patrick Breyer runs again in the next election. It would be awesome to have him at the forefront of the fight for privacy again.

The list of improvements is incredible, almost to long for a single news post.

Calls working more and more reliably, navigation app with steps which runs even on the ancient and still awesome N900, build system migration and the list goes on and on. And they don't even mention most of the bug fixes. All that done by a few, very talented and dedicated people.

I wish I had time to contribute. And maybe I will have once the winter comes.

Use them as such, why would you give your screen Internet? Attach a Mediacenter of your choice, e.g. Kodi.

Update firmware over USB.

There are big differences, Heroic present the gog library in a nice way and supports convenience features like cloud saves (must have with big screen at home and remote gaming on Laptop) as well as gametime tracking, some achievements (dont care about those).

Its far more convenient than Lutris for GoG and of course you can easily backup your Games.

Sehr wenige. Die Technologie hatte von Anfang an ja ihre enge Zielsetzung und die Politik/Hypeunternehmen haben dann das Hypewort überall hingeworfen und geschaut wo es hängen bleibt.

Wo heute tatsächlich noch Blockchain eingesetzt wird ist in der Verifizierung von Dokumenten und Daten, vor allem wenn es sehr verteilte und verschiedene Systeme sind. Beispielsweise nutzen BMW, IBM und Walmarkt die Technologie zur Lieferketten Nachverfolgung. Wichtig ist hier halt, das niemand nachträglich Daten manipulieren kann und, dass man schnell alle Daten durchsuchen kann.

Ebenso werden manche Zertifikate (Also die "Ich habe den Abschluss erworben" Art, nicht die "Diese Website ist sicher") hinterlegt. Natürlich nie das ganze Zertifikat, sondern ein Hash dessen, der später Verifizierung erlaubt. Da gibt es aber auch Konkurrenztechnologien und welches der vielen Pilotprojekte hier zur Reife kam, da hab ich keinen Überblick.

Sonst kenne ich kein Beispiel und natürlich unzählige gescheiterte Projekte.

For Luanti I want to especially recommend the Game "Glitch" which is not minecraft like at all, but surprisingly great.

I currently use Leste on my N900 where it barely works. The hardware is very ancient by moderns standards and the basic kernel+services+X11 already swallows most of the 256MB ram.

The Droid 4 has 4 times as much CPU power and 4 times as much RAM and a slightly faster µSD interface. The system should be blazing fast on there. I just freed mine from old data and will try Leste in the next days. Will report back to you :)

Of course you will likely need a modern mobile phone as hotspot because 3G is shut down in most countries and 2G speeds are something else.

I think you can also expect a blog post from the Leste folks in the next week or so about their progress in the last year. E.g. the migration to Devuan Excalibur (~Debian Trixie). I am constantly astonished what the small group manages to do, as I am with @TheMightyCat and his progress on the Fairphone.

Thank you, I know, although I haven't tried it yet.

Maemo leste offers several advantages over postmarket OS on the device as of now: (According to the postmaket OS wiki) Hardware works out of the box: Calls work, there is a dial UI. The UI is quite polished and was designed with the N900 in mind, middle and right click are only needed, when you install other Linux applications. You have interfaces to control the clock, for sending and receiving SMS, for GPRS, display brightness and a range of old maemo Apps compiled for leste.

Postmarket OS is a great all around effort, but Leste continues the legacy of the old Maemo OS and is very well suited for keyboard phones.

This is incredible work! Thank you so much for your contribution to open source!

When you are finished with your work, may I point you to Maemo Leste? They are working on bringing mainline Linux to old keyboard phones (and others) e.g. the Nokia N900 and the Motorola Droid 4. They have gotten quite far for the small team they are and upstreamed many patches, but are struggling with some remaining hardware components in the phones.

For the N900 - Bluetooth and the camera as well as the lowest power state do not work. Several parts can be improved. For the Droid 4 - GPS, Cameras and there is still a close source 3D acceleration in use.

If you have time to share even a bit of your experience and skills I am sure the people there would greatly appreciate it. You can contact them via the Mailing List or better via IRC #maemo-leste @ libera.chat.

Of course this is not as prestigious and does not help as many people as your efforts with the Fairphone so I fully understand and am happy that you placed your efforts there. But to some people unlocking the last few steps to support these old phones fully would mean the world, because nothing modern is comparable to the hardware (size and HW-Keyboard wise). Also of course because of nostalgia of course, as the N900 was the first fully usable Linux based phone.

I would be happy to send a donation your way for any major contribution. Just ping me here in case I miss it.

Additionally the summary far to often contains major spoilers.

I also read the first few pages and a random place in the middle which is not achapter ending, works very well.

Books here are in Germany also open and in perfect condition. In Italy, where I sometimes browse stores, its the same.

Yes tthats pretty much the closest you can get to fully open source today. I have a number of devices I use: A Pixel 5 with Graphene because the modern world relies to much on Android Apps, also used as hotspot, a Nokia N9 for reading and light browsing, occasional navigation a Nokia N900 with Maemo Leste for secure administrative work.

We also have Sailfish devices in the house
