<li>postmarketOS Blog: <a href="https://postmarketos.org/blog/2024/03/05/adding-systemd/">Adding systemd to postmarketOS</a> <em>This is great news, IMHO! OpenRC stays on - it remains default for, e.g., Sxmo and will remain an option in pmboostrap for everything, but systemd will be default where that makes lives easier. I am very sure that this would not be done if this would not make the task of making postmarketOS a great experience easier - meaning: It's apparently easier to get systemd running on musl, than putting in the work to make all the shims/polyfills for GNOME or KDE Plasma work at all/even well. I believe it's good to see postmarketOS as the mainline Mobile Linux project that supports the most devices become closer to what most Linux users are used to, not to mention features like cgroups and homed, that will definitely help building something competitive Thumbs Up!</em>

<li>@dos@librem.one: <a href="https://social.librem.one/@dos/111937793670232381">POV: a few years ago you uploaded a bunch of games into Google Play that:- are fully Free Software- don't gather any user data- are fully local, no ads- are complete and finished- don't really need updating.One of the games was removed because of "missing privacy policy". Others - I don't even know, they didn't bother to tell me 😜 Seems like the idea that some apps may simply respect the user and not exist to mine for data is unfathomable to Google.#googleplay #google #android</a></li>

Looking forward to playing with it and learning more. Thanks to everyone who has developed #MobileLinux and all the other bits that make it work.I'm particularly interested as a parent with kids who will likely be getting phones in the next few years. I need to daily drive to convince myself it's the right option for them 👍 @linmob @droidian</a></li>
