[Librem Chat] is a total, privacy-respecting replacement for all those intrusive chat services. One you can either use to have a friendly, one-on-one conversation with your best friend, or to call large groups of people.

Let us tell you about the new Librem Chat: the no worries, free, end-to-end encrypted chat, VoIP and video-calling service.

@riahenry @purism every desktop distro already has apps to use any of these services.
But if your question is, when will the PureOS Store open and contain Librem One apps, then I guess they won't tell you before it launches.
Librem One page says *checks notes*
"Coming soon" 😋

@vincent "Tremble, mighty Google. Fear, Apple. For gab will make their bowels emit hot air!"

@gabek@mastodon.social Dell is overpriced because millionaires need to somehow pay for their yachts.
@purism is expensive because they still order relatively low volumes and also invest a lot in developing and improving truly free and freedom respecting software.
Similarly, I ordered the phone not because I think that's a reasonable price tag for a phone, but because I want to live in a world where freedom respecting phones exist.

@pkotrcka@101010.pl you're alright 😉

@synfinner @purism I have one, nothing really to complain. Would buy it again :)
If you stick with PureOS (which has no proprietary drivers), prepare for sub-par WiFi and no BT.
But you can always install something else.

Die Koalition aus @cducsubt@twitter.com und @spdbt@twitter.com lehnt im #Rechtsausschuss des Bundestages regelmäßig ab, dass (quasi) öffentliche Anhörungen als #Video aufgezeichnet und veröffentlicht werden. Das ist in anderen Ausschüssen anders.

Völlig unlogisch und intransparent.

Librem Mail 0.1.1 for Android is now available on the Google Play Store.

WHAT'S NEW
* Fixed notifications
* Changed default privacy settings to hide the user agent, hide the time zone, and hide the host name when connecting
* Translation & string fixes

play.google.com/store/apps/det

For those that use Android but do not like using the Google Play Store: We plan to make the Librem.one applications available via F-Droid. No hard ETA yet, but it's in the works. More info on that once available.

@xiao @kyle @purism had same thought (actually on lots of the things framasoft does)

mastodon.at/@switchingsocial/1 @kyle @purism maybe this is something you should get behind? Many people I know only use Facebook for events.

Legend has it that Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse in 1968.

But did you know that German television manufacturer Telefunken released a "rolling-ball" device just a few months earlier?

From a technical perspective it actually closely resembles the kind of mouse that we ended up using until the late 90s.

The German patent office declined a patent due to a "lack of inventive step".

@janci @aral that's cute, but Mozilla does not need your money, they are a big for-profit.
Gnome etc., yes. The main problem is that people think free software should be free of charge. Some try to change that, like elementary OS, and IMO @purism even more so in everything they do. (Paid foss services, paying lots foss devs and sponsoring projects with their hardware revenue)

We need a system that lets us reproduce a packager's work and confirm that whatever they release was indeed built from a specific source tree without any unintended or even malicious changes.

To achieve that we require reproducible builds, so we can correlate a build with its source tree(s) and dependencies.

Whenever a new package gets released, this would allow independent systems and entities to verify that its contents really match the expectations.

Dieser Mythos, dass die aktuellen Teenager 'Digital Natives' sind und das Internet besser kennen als aktuell 30/40/50/60-Jährige, wie lange überlebt der noch?

Zuletzt gehört bei Jugendweihe-Feier am Wochenende. Danach Teenager Google-Tracking erklärt.
