postmarketOS has become Nura: https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=showheadline&story=20261

I've noticed recently almost every release announcement I read lately says "finally" in the title. For example: "Version 10.9 finally released." It feels weird to suddenly see it:
1. Happen so often.
2. Happen for projects with no release schedule. It's not like we were waiting for the new version.

This looks like either an AI writing release notes or a sign a lot of developers are feeling unnecessary pressure to publish free updates. Either way it's not a good thing.

Scalzi is, in my opinion, one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time, certainly at the top of the list in this generation. This bundle provides the chances to read his work and support a good cause.
