Dear distro maintainers and "i build my own stuff" people:
In case you want to check out 0.44.0 upfront: we've tagged the first releases candidates (0.44~rc1) of #phosh and related components today. 🎉
Release is planned 2024-12-31 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/wikis/Releases)
There's some rough edges still but we still aim to make the release date.
I just tried using Waydroid tonight and have a question for those who are familiar with it. Is it possible to copy text from the host OS into the container ? Basically I installed the Tuta and Protonmail Android apps using Waydroid on FuriOS and tried to copy and paste my login info from my password manager on FuriOS into Tuta and Protonmail in Waydroid but it never pastes. I tried using the onscreen keyboard on my phone as well as using a physical keyboard plugged into the phone.

In preparation for the next #phosh release we've released #feedbackd 0.6.0 🎉 :
This adds support for a new haptic API to feedbackd that can be used by e.g. games to trigger vibration patterns or by browsers to implement `navigator.vibrate()`.

Haven't been on a city train, bus, subway, etc in a while but I want to say they at least used to here in Canada.
This week's donation went to a software developer named Josh T Richards. He primarily contributes to the Nextcloud project which is a FOSS cloud storage platform among other things.
He has a profile on Github:

If you wish to help him financially he accepts donations through Github Sponsors.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
