Based on @craftyguy 's #osk-sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the #librem5's image-builder so one can build #luks encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:

"We didn't want to announce anything until we had modems and could test them in the Librem 5 to ensure they work but I’m happy to announce we just completed that testing and it works!"

@kyle How much do you wanna bet, the argument in their defense will be that the amount used is trivial? As useful as Android is, articles like this justify de-googled Android and the Librem 5 with great aplomb!

It's worth noting that the lawsuit here isn't about the fact that Google collects all this data, but that it does it using metered cellular data.

#phosh 0.6.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.6.0

Besides more fixes for docked mode, the most visible change is @exalm@floss.social 's work to close apps by swiping up. This needs #libhandy 1.0.2.

The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/

Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

The developers of Signal are currently doing a user survey:

https://surveys.signalusers.org/s3

I told them that I really like the app but also that I would like:
a) Signal on @fdroidorg
b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?

The Librem 5 Mass Production Shipping FAQ – Purism
https://puri.sm/posts/the-librem-5-mass-production-shipping-faq/ @cybette

Thanks to work of @notmart and @AleixPol , we now have the window thumbnails in task switcher of Plasma Mobile, powered by #pipewire.

Finally! I got @postmarketOS with #Phosh running on the BQ Aquaris X5.

Things learned on the way: Don't use pmbootstrap install (without the --sdcard option) on a ZFS system, it may fail inexplicably. Flash with pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs with the --partition-userdata option on this device. Never give up!

Also, the standard kernel does lack touchscreen support, but there is an image on the issue tracker that can be booted with fastboot.

Impressions:
Keyboard tiny, but really fast!

Just made my first mobile payment with my bank app straight from the Librem 5 - via Anbox. The last reason to occasionally boot an Android phone just went poof! :) #librem5 #pureos #mobile #gnu #linux #anbox

Dialect is a cool new translation app available on Flathub and running on the Librem 5. 😄️
