    It gets my vote. I have written to our Government (not EU any more) regarding this as we as a world human population have to stop putting perfectly viable electrical and electronic equipment into landfill. Apple and Samsung in the electronics industry are two of the worst publicly known offenders as their drvices orphan so quickly - even though they say they don't orphan devices and their devices are repairable (not). This is one of the main reasons I think UT is the way forward - a community driven project that captures a small portion of the devices that would be disposed of as they are orphaned. All hardware drivers should be open source so they can be integrated into the like of UT, Sailfish and others. Bootloaders should be easily unlocked. Hardware should be easily replaceable and repairable.

    Hi @Capsia , Thanks to you and any others for the excellent work on the websites! I hope this is an ok topic to post this in. I didn't find much else pertaining to website discussion. (TL;DR - I'm suggesting a Donate button next to porter/maintainer names on each Devices page of the website.) Recently I tried to donate to my device's porter, and found it hard to find how to do so. I tracked down his Paypal eventually, but it took some searching, and it might not be possible to find some porters. I thought if there were a Donate button on the website, similar to how there's an option on the OpenStore to donate to the app's developer, it might both remind people to donate, and make it easier to do so. I asked about this idea on Q&A #157 and Alfred and AppLee were both favourable toward it. But of course this requires work, and I have no skills with websites. I imagine it would require reworking the Contributors section on the Devices pages, and enabling an optional donate button next to the names of any contributors who'd like donations and who provide a link to their patreon/libera/whatever. It would get more complicated when there are many developers and maintainers. Who will the user donate to? Each of them? And is it weird if some of them request donations and others don't? But to me, it's still better to have the option, even if there are complications. Anyway, sorry to be making a suggestion with no way to help bring it about. But I wanted to float the idea out there, to keep our porters supported!

    @domubpkm @Br1 I can confirm that on volla quintus (OTA-7 and devel channel) isn't working either. Same behavior as @domubpkm , call-recording locks mycrophone and speaker on calls. Nothing is captured on saved file. There os anything i can do to track the problem? (Another interesting thing is that looks like the install-script breaks the camera, it make camera app the capability of record videos. Uninstall the script or change between channels doesn't solve the problem, it is just solved by factory reset )

    A new version 1.27.8 has been uploaded to the OpenStore. I realize I have neglected this thread a little, but rest assured, Syncthing has been updated following the upstream project all this time. In other news, I am considering discontinuing the maintenance of the Syncthing snap. I lack the time to keep that one up to date and it has been lagging behind for some versions now. Fortunately there is a 'competing' snap: and the maintainer keeps it quite up to date with upstream. I have already moved my servers over to this snap. So this is a heads-up to anyone who might have also been using my snap. I will provide migration instructions when the decision has been finalized. [image: snap-store-black.svg]

    @saligari Sadly the OP3/3T in general, not only the GSI experiment has not seem much specific improvements since I originally switch to using UT on it about 1.5 years ago. The non-GSI version works reasonably with some quirks, but I think it is safe to assume that development isn't happening

    Hi everyone, I love the logo presented by @Cibersheep, it's original and I think it would represent well the Morph Browser. I also agree with Lakotaubp's opinion and I have made a small modification to the logo. I hope you like it, greetings...

    Hello @mardy, the FM Radio App is one that I have received great value from. Unfortunately it does not work with Focal. Do you still maintain it? If so, would it be possible to make a version that works on Focal too? Thank You for you work so far.

    This thread is now off in the long grass of OT. If you are think of posting anything at all that is not about how to best communicate the basics of UT to non Geeks please don't. Or you may now think it best to start a new thread anyway and use this as a reference point.
