I just added a new feature to NeoChat, a Kirigami based @matrix client. Now we have a fancy (but still simple) image editor build-in.
Heute wieder einige Kommentare in den Medien und Berichte aus Talkshows zum Thema Datenschutz in der Pandemie, die - gelinde gesagt - unterkomplex waren. Ich versuche es einfach einmal mit einer kleinen Reihe von sieben Merksätzen zum Thema, einer pro Stunde:
Böse Zungen behaupten, Datenschutz sei die heilige Kuh der Grundrechte.
Richtig ist: Viele Ochsen verstehen nicht, dass schon jetzt sehr viel mehr personenbezogene Daten als vor der Pandemie erhoben werden.

Die haben da sicher ein Vorbild. Einen... "großen Bruder".
Google.

If you, for whatever reason, want to make sure your code does not get used by Google - license it under AGPL :) #LifeHack https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/
@linmob Will still get the user banned from signal due to signals zero tolerance towards 3. party clients. I guess its time to use a less suspiciously un-open messenger.

Lastly, yes they sell dreams: I funded the development that made desktop Linux viable on phones. Phosh, Phoc and libhandy-based apps are now the most popular environment on the PinePhone also. Which is cheaper because it has cheaper/weaker hardware and they didn't develop much software.
I never spend more than 150 bucks on a phone before, but I viewed it as a necessary investment in the future. I'm happy I did 😎

You're missing the part that they spend millions for developing hard- and software. I happily backed the Librem 5. About a dozen developers, about 3 years.
The L5 also has many more discrete components than common phones, which makes the BOM (bill of materials) more expensive.
You also seem to vastly underestimate the difference between producing several thousand and millions of devices. The price could easily be halved if a million was produced.
The Free Software Foundation has published an "Ethical Tech Giving Guide" and suggest our #librem5 for their smartphone category!

Did you notice that the best working GUI on the Pinephone based on Phosh and used by Postmarket OS or Mobian is created by Purism? Do you really think that this would possible by community only? Also Libhandy is crated by Purism. Everyone that bought a Librem 5 also supports the Pinephone.
Maybe you should read a little bit more and then make the IQ test again ;)
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!"
The General Purpose Computer In Your Pocket
"What makes the Librem 5 special is that it reclaims the full potential of what phones should have been all along: a general-purpose computer in your pocket under your control."
