Our fearless leader @a-wai is about to give his talk "Towards a bright future with Mobian?" in 5 minutes. Check out the streaming options at fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event or wait for our summary sometime later.

I just finished the demo to a 2D point and click game called "Murder on Space Station 52". Puzzles were pretty decent as was atmosphere and music. Looking forward to the full game now. The demo has a native Linux version and is available DRM free at GOG. If you enjoy the genre i'd check it out. Played the demo on my Trisquel desktop using the Intel UHD 770 so a powerful system isn't needed.

Jab math for children: Vaccinate almost 38,000 kids (with hundreds of serious side effects), stop one Covid hospitalization

You read that right. 38,000 to 1, per a new British study. At best. Not counting side effects. Yet the Centers for Disease Control is STILL pushing these on kids.

This week's donation went to DivestOS. It's a degoogled version of Android that has been forked from LineageOS and has a focus of trying to remove as many closed source blobs as they can. At last count they removed over 700 blobs depending on device. Some of the things they remove that few, if any, other mobile distros do is Widevine DRM as well as having Google-free eSIM activation. Divest also supports bootloader relocking on many devices which few other similar projects do. It includes F-Droid out of the box. It's a great option if you're looking for more privacy and security for your mobile device.

Ubports has released an update for their mobile OS Ubuntu Touch dubbed version "OTA-4 Focal". This update adds support for hiding notifications content when the screen is locked, the lock screen now shows estimated time to charge your phone, built-in theme switching is now available; and more. Ubunutu Touch is a great option for those that want to escape Apple or Google. What it lacks in app support it makes up for in stability and ease of use. They have a GUI installer that is available in multiple formats and supports a lot of devices which makes getting Ubuntu Touch installed an easy task.
