Got Phosh's immutable BengalOS to boot on a Google Pixel 3A. There's quiet a bit of work left to make that usable but I'm already looking forward to try some of Phosh's features for immutable on a real device rather than a VM image. This is only possible due to […] [Original post on ruhr.social]

@nikodunk submitted a nice merge request to improve the transition from the running application to the overview 🤩:

Palantir überwacht jeden. Deshalb haben wir eine Website erstellt, die Palantir überwacht. Sie haben uns beobachtet. Jetzt können wir sie beobachten. Verträge. Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Managergehälter. Globale Präsenz. Lobbyarbeit. Medienstrategien. Alles an einem Ort. von @palantirwatch geklaut […]

"Be unable to change what runs on your phone or it turns into a brick that can't even be used to pay for food and transit" but sure, I can verify whether the OS and app was built by a "trusted" hyperscaler in a hostile foreign country, isn't that so worth it?

We were discussing hiding & disabling preinstalled apps on immutable images at PCM26 and recently with the @postmarketOS #duranium folks. We now have some bits that allow to hide those (and other) applications. There's plenty of more work needed for different app types (e.g. we can do better […]

Development News May 2026

Here’s our fifth development progress update for 2026. We’ve released Phosh 0.55.0 (see this Fideverse 🧵 for a summary) and made some good progress on our OS images for the nightly builds (which required some U-Boot work), but there’s also a bunch of fixes and improvements in core components and continued work to fix i18n related issues (by mkljczk). Apart from that we had our contributors meeting which was a nice opportunity to attach some names to faces and meet people in person.
