I'm not unsympathetic to their cause, but I do expect that each and every one of these protesters then also boycotts all of Microsoft's products; otherwise it would be hypocritical. In the end, that, if done en masse, will hit them harder than some banners....

I'm using a pixel3a with postmarketOS (now Nura) and sxmo as my daily driver (but I hardly ever call).
Calling and SMS works but there is indeed no echo cancellation so people complain they hear themselves if the volume is not low. I have a more reliable calling experience on the pixel3a than I had on the more powerful oneplus 6 where call audio was often broken.
Web browsing and podcasts should be no problem. The battery also holds well and suspend works. Wifi and mobile data work fine.
All the call stuff is mediated by mmcli (from ModemManager), our shell scripts simply wrap around mmcli. How would imsd fit into that picture? Would we need to communicate via imsd rather than mmcli directly?
A developer of sxmo reached out to me, with posh working maybe sxmo next??? please comment if there is demand for this.
Another sxmo developer here: I'm definitely interested in acquiring a fairphone now thanks to the work you've put in, and of course on running sxmo on it then. We're already merged a device profile for fp6 in our codebase: https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel/patches/71431 and one of our developers is having success with it already. We're typically running things a bit more bare-bones than other UIs; no systemd (but openrc), but I don't think there's much particular work on your end to do to support sxmo, right? The really difficult work is in the kernel patches of course and that is shared anyway.
I just finished the book by Oscar Wilde and wanted to try my own hand at depicting Dorian Gray. Here is my interpretation ... Let's hope it doesn't alter for the worst!

I randomly came across a guy on YouTube who was chanting Hindu mantras and playing a cool musical instrument called harmonium (depicted here). I thought it made a nice scene to capture in a drawing.

This was taken during the partial eclipse recently.
Haha :) All that sand can be ruinous for keyboards, so definitely a not-safe-for-work environment ;)
Thanks! Right, it's indeed a bit bland around the yaw, I could have continued there.
I drew a young man's portrait from a reference photo and was quite happy how it turned out.

That makes sense yes, good to hear!
This is most excellent work!! Heel erg bedankt!! Great that you even go to the trouble to test the emergency services, that's one of things that makes me feel the most unease with our experimental phones... will it hold up in an emergency?
This has made be quire enthusiastic, so now I'm considering buying a fairphone 6+ too now (after you get yours and can confirm your patches work on it ;) )
Very nice one! I like the hand behind the head. Poor Sisyphus, his life's purpose's gone!
Nice! I like the tiny format and how the hand and foot leave the frame, nice style.
My city! Nice photo! This reminds me of some old photos from about the same perspective that can be found on eindhoveninbeeld.com .. it's interesting to see how things changed around the lichttoren, which has been around longest. Here's one I found from 1971:
And 1945:
I took up drawing as a new hobby last month. Here's my first animal portrait with colour pencils (from photo reference).
Very nice!
After the river 0.4 release I migrated from river-classic to kwm, recreating about the same design I've used for years now.
The image is a combination of three separate screenshots of the same screen. It shows a 'fake-busy' terminal (foot) based workflow featuring neovim, yazi, aerc, senpai and newsraft.
