@nuts@kiwifarms.cc @purism I wouldn't call that "removable" if it requires tools. I thought we were talking about flicking a latch with your fingernail and popping in a charged battery in 5 seconds like we could around the turn of the century.
@purism I don't think Apple ever had a removable battery on a mobile device. Maybe the G4 Macbook Pro from the PowerPC days?
@brandon Laidout is a new one, right? http://laidout.org

The #PineTab is a $79 Linux tablet
by Pine64, the same manufacturer of the #PinePhone and PineBook low-cost Linux devices.
This low-power Linux machine, however, has some hidden perks: for example, via an internal m.2 slot it supports SATA and LTE expansions in a somewhat modular way. And now it boots postmarketOS with several UIs, such as KDE #PlasmaMobile and Purism's "Phosh".
You can read more about it in our latest post: https://tuxphones.com/pine64-pinetab-pinephone-linux-tablet-postmarketos/

Another ethical mobile phone initiative for my European friends.
The US is severely lagging in such options.

♲ @gael_duval@twitter.com: It's a fully ungoogled OS and online services.
Yet it can run most #Android Android apps.
It's available on 4 different smartphone models, premium grade refurbished.
--> and public orders are now available 😀
Taste a more ethical mobile experience now!

I lost my faith in Signal after reading the fediverse's own @sir 's blog post on it: https://drewdevault.com/2018/08/08/Signal.html

♲ @bamafangrl@twitter.com: Do y’all remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information?
Yeah. It wasn’t that. 🤦🏼♀️

Waking up from a bad dream earlier today, it occurred to me that we think it's good practice to have firewalls that restrict communications between computers, but at the same time we still think it's an excellent idea to promote and facilitate unrestricted communication between humans - regardless of their respective intents and interests.

Apple contractors 'regularly hear confidential details' on Siri recordings | Technology | The Guardian
Because why would Apple be any different?
This is getting out of hand. https://pocketnow.com/axs-spyware-concert

"Recently, tech companies have come to a troubling consensus: that they can change your computer, remotely (and often silently) without your knowledge or permission."

@WPalant Yes, understood. The JMAP standard working group isn't even bothering with encryption it seems. Some proprietary clients like SpikeNow.com switch to a centralized server for encrypted email which makes it easy from a user-side except both users need the same app. :-\
@WPalant Would an encrypted protocol that federates via DNS & routes to user mailboxes (like email) be possible though? I don't want my cell phone carrier to be in control of my netizen identity like Signal requires.
