"Please try and use platforms that value open source firmware components. Chromebooks are a great example of this, as well as Purism computers."

Here's a list of my 3 favorite podcasts for tech-life:
Linux Podcast and general GNU paraphernalia talk. @klaatu is the host with his nice coffee breaks and Slackware as a base.
@lunduke hosts this podcast with his quirky humor and fun projects! I don't know his favorite/current distro. ๐
@linuxjournal puts this one on. They also have interesting discussion about the whole tech world.
Enjoy!
@purism To plausibly convey that librem.one does not lead to lock-in, you need to show (in addition to open standards) that leaving is non-painful, for example by pointing out ways to download/move data, and also the ability to downgrade back to a free account without losing everything.
Also, it is a bit insensitive to only have PureOS as a link, not the mentioned projects. Sends the wrong message.
@lunduke by the way, I always knew you belong to @purism
You might not remember, but late 2017 you quoted me in a show on "Linux things that make us smile", with "The prospect of holding a ... #FLOSS phone in my hands in 2019, thanks to Purism".
I tweeted that, specifically bc. I felt you didn't give it enough attention, silently hoping they'd sponsor the show one day.
Silently? Well, maybe I nudged staffers, too... ;)
Hope you'll level up PR
Communic. is basically my only criticism w Purism
So, Mr. @lunduke Sir, here I am.
As I said, I'll follow you everywhere ๐
