@purism There's actually over 85Million smartphones out there running KaiOS, too, but I'm all for the success of PureOS. https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/25/kaios-now-with-85m-feature-phones-shipped-doubles-down-with-google-carrier-deals-and-more/
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Purism Librem 5 evolves. https://pocketnow.com/the-privacy-friendly-librem-5-is-now-shipping-for-cool-people
@purism I need Gnome Evolution PIM management program on that phone! :)

#Coy.im is a fairly new, cross-platform, desktop chat app, for the #Jabber network (#XMPP protocol). It's privacy-focused, for example it uses #TOR and #OTR encryption for all chats by default (not #OMEMO, interesting choice). Also, they're avoiding implementing some features, like highlighted links, they say could add unnecessary complexity and more risk of bugs and thus security flaws. They say they are looking for people willing to do security audits on their code:

I wish nobody used #reCaptcha. Not only does it forces users to allow Goggle to run scripts in their browser, making users do unpaid mechanical turking for Goggle is just rude. If it contributed to a data commons, like training free code AI, I would't mind so much.
HP's Z series is among my favorite creative professional computer lines. The ZBook 14u is nice, but I'm more of a Zbook X2 guy.

@EclecticEclipse Yeah, it sucks that they've been going backwards with tablet UI's. :-/
@EclecticEclipse Windows Xp Tablet PC Edition had a multi-line handwriting recognition panel. The recognition and edit UI were way better than Windows 10's rebuild, too.
@strypey I've started a collection of guidelines here: http://designguide.site It's certainly not well-designed though and very "under-construction"!
Wow, we did not expect the level of interest you all have had in the #PineTime!
More info:
- Cost will be approximately 25USD
- Charging dock included in price
- Built-in heartbeat monitor
- Case built of Zinc alloy and plastic
- Battery life measured in days
- Sorry, can't run Linux itself. SoC is nRF52832, which uses a Cortex-M4 core. That's why we need FreeRTOS :)
@PINE64 Ah! That's what I was looking for! Thanks!
@PINE64 Are you allowed to publicly or privately point me in the direction of PBP compatible bootable SD card images?
@PINE64 I was under the impression that I could have your built-in Debian Linux regular boot, and then make a couple MicroSD cards for booting to Chromium OS and Android whenever I felt like it. So I was trying to search for info on that.
@PINE64 Or maybe I'd have to use the open-source Chromium OS and Android Open Source Project, right?
