FOSS mobile OS FuriOS has been updated to version 13.0.9 The update includes updates to Gnome, bug fixes, support for two way clipboard, and more. I was able to upgrade my FLX1 from 13.0.8 to 13.0.9 simply with a couple rounds of "sudo apt update" and then "sudo apt upgrade". I had no issues with my upgrade.

I figured I would ask around before I open an official issue. Is anybody else having issues connecting to Tuta Mail when on VPN connected to wifi unless you choose a server in your home country ? I am in Canada and when I try to connect to Tuta Mail it fails to sync and bring down new mail when on a VPN and on wifi unless I choose a server in Canada. This happens on Mullvad VPN as well as Proton VPN. It happens on my Android phone running GrapheneOS as well as my desktop/laptops using Solus. If I connect either VPN to a server in Canada it works. If I connect to any server at all but use cell data then it also works. This also doesn't happen at all on Protonmail or with my Disroot email I use Thunderbird for.
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.
