Oh, c'mon. You can *warn* a user to not do stupid things like installing apps from unknown sources, but you should not entirely deny it.
Assume, it would only be possible via command line. That would be absolutely ok, and would protect beginners.
The thing is, people that hang out in PP chats, download and install packages are not beginners.
Flatpak can not protect you from not using flatpak.

My brother just called me from his bq Aquaris X5 running #postmarketOS using ofono from the terminal having followed this guide: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Use Sound was okay-ish, bit noisy, but I am really proud of my brother now ;) #LinuxPhones

@TechNews
I think the article is misleading.
If you hang out in a PP community chat, and trust a random user to run their binary as root, you are an advanced user but don't act like one.

The question about ensuring trust is therefore not directly related.
However, there are efforts and solutions. Debian / PureOS work on reproducible builds, so it's verifiable that source and package match. In addition, @purism wants curated community apps.
But when you leave the safe space, you're on your own

My Android phone is turned off, but for now, I am keeping it with me in case I need it (or perhaps more acccurately, it calms my nerve in case something goes badly).

I actually debating about using my #librem5 as my main phone, but to be honest, the only reason I did not was because my Pinephone has everything set up already. But when I get more time, I think I will try it full time.

It doesn't take any courage to wave flags, call people slurs, shout slogans, boycott religious & ethnic groups, deny history or retweet lies.

It takes real courage to fight for everyone's dignity and choose coexistence.

And only courage will bring peace in the Middle East.

What I noticed recently is that there seems to be a wide range of alternative browsers, from well-known to barely known. I'd like to see a list/inventory/comparison of these. Some of them might merge, some might collaborate in some areas (re-use components) etc.
Choice is good, but spreading too thinly isn't.
Then, applying for public funding would be the next step.

@dallin @obsolete29
My problem is rather that the management at Mozilla sees itself as just another Silicon Valley company. (Somebody wrote something to that effect recently. Maybe @aral ?)
Changing the funding might not suddenly change the mindset.

Hm...
- Rechenfehler
- verfallene / verschenkte Dosen
vor allem aber vielleicht:
- 50% der 12-17 sind inzwischen geimpft, das wurde evtl nicht berücksichtigt
Vermutlich gibt's aber auch weniger offensichtliche Faktoren

@imageschaden
Da kann ich abhelfen. Erste Amtshandlung Lauterbach: Inventur.
Du kannst ihm nicht vorwerfen, dass Spahn seine tolle Absicht nicht umgesetzt hat.
Spahn fiel ja auch vor ein paar Tagen ein, als keine Gefahr mehr bestand was tun zu müssen, dass Pflegekräfte doppelt so viel verdienen sollten.
