    Hopefully all that happened since July 9th, 2024: Furi Labs get VoLTE to work on 4G and 5G, Purism has bunch of announcements, LWN posts on postmarketOS and Sxmo, a bugfix release for Phosh, a replacement for Mozilla's abandonned Location Services, a new UBports Q&A, progress on getting newer Gecko to work for Sailfish's browser, a really stupid Mozilla management decision ruining the excitement about Firefox ESR for anyone who cares a little bit about privacy ... and more! Enjoy!

  • MCF14: Almost 128

    I sadly did not manage to spend enough time to accomplish anything since the last post titled 'Continuing'. But, still, at least from my experiences with Firefox 127, I am somewhat happy that (unless 128 changes a lot in terms of UI), the next ESR (128) won't be awful for users of mobile distributions shipping mobile-config-firefox.
