NOTE: This episode was totally published right after we recorded it.

@RannyBergamotte, @ollieparanoid, @lucaweiss, @1peter10 (in order of appearance) talk about Linux Mobile action at DEF CON 33, WHY 2025 and FrOSCon 2025, all which took place between August 7 and 17 this year. We get into how DEF CON in Las Vegas compares to the European events, what it's like to be at a hacker camp, plenty of Linux Mobile talks at FrOSCon, and a lot more!

Special thanks to @timegearmonkey for editing (first time editing a postmarketOS podcast episode)!
