I just went to donate, but OpenCollective turned out to be cloudflared and therefore doesn’t let me pass (for originating from Tor).

Though I could steer around this and as much as I would like to financially support the project, I cannot, in good-conscience, support the use and propagation of the worlds biggest MitM attacker.

When one opens a camera application (like millipixels), the screen should show what the camera points at and capturing color photo and video of that content should be possible. It should run in a stable manner (meaning no anticipated crashes) and the required changes should be accepted into the postmarketOS edge branch.

As for devices, please refer to the linked wiki-page. It names one Shift device and one OnePlus device (and a variant of it). If only one device were to be chosen, it should be Shift.

I understand your concern about cost - maybe the company could be bothered to sponsor a device for this development.

Agreed. I updated the description accordingly.

There are actually mentions of people having had partial success, but your point makes sense regardless. I updated the description to clarify that interested developers have to express their intent beforehand. This way it should be easier to track who actually made it happen.

Refer to this and further comments for details.

Did this help? (referenced quote now added to description)

Great. Maybe you can give a little heads-up after the weekend.

Thank you - are you looking at adding that support to camss yourself?

Kudos on the progress!

This is bad news for those of us who were not only looking to give old mobile hardware a longer lifespan, but simultaneously obtain privacy and security while doing so.

The arguments provided in the blog post are rather faint and give a vibe of “holding on to last straws”, as other distributions and even BSD’s have managed to run both GNOME and KDE fine, even before pmOS.

For readers unfamiliar with systemd’s drawbacks, these resources can serve as good starting points:

without-systemd.org // nosystemd.org


Out of curiosity: Can you point to a log of the communication with the Alpine team?
