I like the idea. I think the main problems are visibility and simplicity (to donate).
I'd love to see donation buttons to important (and invisible) projects in @purism 's PureStore, in addition to a pay-what-you-want model for the apps. Creates visibility and simplicity 😀

I'm backing the Librem 5, expecting a big announcement begin of July.
It is somewhat modular (more than most other phones at least). And it has a lot going for it. Most relevant in this context: Trying as hard as possible to not rely on any proprietary code or service, actively fighting walled gardens. The other: They'll not stop it as long as they can pay the bills.They don't plan to make billions 😉
Oh, and you can use it as a desktop replacement 😜
Dear IT-humans: Please do yourselves a favour and create security@ as an email address on all of your domains which is actually routed and read by someone with knowledge about your IT!
That way you make it easy for people who accidentally stumble upon security issues with your infrastructure to actually report them to you.
The sheer fact of having and reading security@ (as mandated by RFC 2142) will help improving your IT security.
♲ @spdbt@twitter.com: 70,8 Millionen Menschen sind auf der Flucht, so viele wie noch nie. Sie fliehen vor Verfolgung, sie fliehen vor Kriegen, sie fliehen vor Hunger. Wir können nicht wegschauen, wenn wir unsere Werte ernst nehmen. #StepWithRefugees #Weltflüchtlingstag

Both mean the same, the L just explains what the F means 😉
The FSF dislikes both terms if you mainly are referring to free (libre) software (and not open source in general).

Well. It's the very-much-on-sale price. Won't get better than that any time soon, unfortunately. However, on the forums, somebody is currently selling a used on for half of that.
Ever dream of getting a 15" Librem laptop for $799?
Dream no longer, my friends. This is just for a limited time.
Librem 15 v3 No-TPM (UK keyboard): $799

Sway & wlroots has a dedicated budget for hardware, travel, etc. It's going to be empty after partially covering travel to XDC 2019 (X.org developers conference). If anyone is feeling generous and is able to help us refill it, please make a donation with the comment "for the sway/wlroots general budget":

Thank you ❤️

Don't be deceived: refugees are not coming to steal your jobs - you don't have a job anyway. People are leaving their homes, running for their lives, because of the wars our governments are producing instead of creating good quality jobs.

We're taking a look at software running on the Librem 5 Smartphone Dev Kit -- something new, every day.
Day 2 - Gedit & Apt
I will stop here with #Gab by removing the block feature inside the app in the next release.
My motivations:
- I didn't receive a reply from Google policy team about a potential ban of the application.
- Without the previous risk, I clearly think that's not my role. I can't hard-code instance blocks especially when every tools are here for that.
- If you want a strong block, it's in the hands of social network developers or your admins.
For anyone who doesn't understand why the Tusky change is wrong:
It may not be against the letter of free/open source software*, but it is certainly in the spirit. FOSS does not discriminate against its users and remain FOSS, including the users you don't like. The freedom to use the software as you wish is unalienable, including for gab users.
* both definitions
That, and don't add rickrolls to your project for any reason.
The Librem 5 smartphone team has been hard at work, and we want to update you all on our software progress.
Including: LibHandy, Calls, Encrypted messaging, patches going upstream, Mesa, Documentation, and... Quake II. Seriously.

A bold, just and democratic #GreenNewDeal for #Europe is the only antidote to the logic that, in this #EU, there is no alternative to socialism for bankers, austerity for the many and catastrophe for the environment.

A comment over at twitter (same tweet) makes me think we'll get 5...15 videos followed by a big announcement with final specs and shipping details.
