Companies usually work for the people that fund them in the first place. That is not an issue and it is something natural. The real issue is who fund the company?

Purism has been funded by the people.

Polarisation is toxic.

Every time we force people to pick a side... they may not pick ours. Do it over and over and over again? The expected result is to push everyone away.

Making the world better needs to be an inclusive, forgiving project.

In my opinion, obviously.

By the way, I know all of this because I've been handing out custom per-use email addresses for years. Makes it easy to find when someone sells you out.

I just wrote a post that talks about user empowerment and how that influences how @purism designs its products, from hardware to software to security to services to social: https://puri.sm/posts/with-purism-products-you-are-in-control/

Did you know that with the Librem 5 smartphone you can remove the back and have access to :

- the battery
- a removable OpenPGP smart card
- a removable cellular modem
- and a microSD card so you can expand your storage later on

Today we answer the age old question...

What boots faster:
- a Librem 5 smartphone running PureOS (GNU/Linux)
- or a run of the mill Android phone

In honor of another Open Core company moving to the Extinguish phase of Embrace/Extend/Extinguish for their #FOSS code, here are some of my thoughts on Open Core: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/some-thoughts-open-core

Bravo @purism and bravo @todd : https://puri.sm/posts/control-freedom-and-harm/

Only a few days after the European elections, the EU governments like repeat offenders want to reinstate the #dataretention of contacts and movement data of the entire population in violation of our fundamental rights. https://digitalcourage.de/blog/2019/vorratsdatenspeicherung-eu-rat-juni-2019

This indiscriminate blanket retention must be stopped. Nobody can be elected President of the Commission who supports #dataretention! #StopMassSurveillance

11 (!) Verfassungsklagen greifen das deutsche Gesetz zur #Vorratsdatenspeicherung an.

Am 7.6. will die #Bundesregierung die Telefon- und Internetüberwachung auf EU-Ebene mit planen:
