So i felt kinda guilty receiving money from people.<br/><br/>But i would much rather spend my time making software that benefits society instead of the B2B stuff i do at my job.<br/><br/>I really feel greedy for saying this, but if you want to send me a thank you then that is now possible at:<br/><a href="https://bunq.me/catcrafts">https://bunq.me/catcrafts</a><br/><br/>Please don&#39;t feel any pressure to do this, doesn&#39;t matter what i get im still continuing with this bring-up. And if you don&#39;t want to donate to me there are many linux organizations that could really use the support! In my eyes we are all in the same boat with the same goal.<br/><br/>If you do decide to, and i cannot express my gratitude enough if you do, please write in the description that it&#39;s a donation, as this makes tax easier.<br/><br/># What&#39;s next?<br/><br/>Ive got a bunch more stuff coming soon, while i haven&#39;t posted here in quite a while i&#39;ve been plenty busy on the mailing list:<br/><br/>![]( <img src="https://ani.social/pictrs/image/e5cf3c88-f6cd-4247-9db8-3206f742568b.webp"> )<br/><br/>So except some more posts soon.<br/><br/># Bonus round<br/><br/>Having fully working hardware is great, but a phone that has no apps is pointless for most people, so i would like to start a discussion in the comments.<br/><br/>**What apps do you need that are preventing you from switching to mobile linux?**<br/> 2026-07-22T23:36:18+02:00
