Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:

(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

So they use #Gitea under the hood and don't reference it once?
That's a very questionable business model, especially if the underlying tool is #FOSS.
Btw, there are more open/transparent other Forgejo/Gitea-based instances like #codeberg (https://codeberg.org) or #codefloe (https://coefloe.com)
A Busy Bee is a happy bee
I run the following services for us all to enjoy:
For the #Fediverse:
* #Sharkey: ibe.social
* #Pixelfed: pixelfed.scot
* #GoToSocial: gofer.social
* A #Phanpy client: phanpy.app
Non-Fedi:
* A #Readeck server: readeck.app
* A #Gitea server: git.ozol.cloud
* The Wiki for the fediverse: thefedi.wiki
I also 'admin' on two Mastodon servers in my spare(!) time.
@lornajane i run a yunohost here in a VM on my Pi5 with #peertube #freshrss #nextcloud #email #matrix #paperlessngx #adguard #wallabag #vaultwarden #element #gitea #roundcube #privatebin It is so cool! Today i wanted 2 donate for #yunohost but there is a need for a credit card. Awesome piece of #software for #selfhosting
Just found out yesterday that #SearxNG has links to #Fediverse when #searching. So searching #gitea for instance lists their #Mastodon and #Lemmy !
Thank you SeaxNG folks!

#Gitea #Git #DevOps #OpenSource
So far so good, #gitea server for #qwan up for a week. Transferring 152 git repositories was a bit of a faff, but now it is easy to share our work. (or work in progrss - https://gitea.apps.sustainabledelivery.com/ . 'explore' gives you the first open repo. I like the focus on energy efficiency on the default homepage ).
