As you're the second to ask this, I wonder why people who desperately wanted this phone (and possibly understand how hard it is, when others predicted failure) would consider to give up so close to success.

Reminds me of the two prisoners escaping, after climbing over 9 of 10 walls, one saying: "Enough is enough. I'll go back" ;)

@Tryphon@mastodon.social @purism
Yes they do (support@puri.sm).
But before that, I'd suggest to wait for more details and which slot you would be in.

I think the blunt wording about the cases makes some people more worried than they really should be. The cases should be ok.

It's an awesome mindset: Purism helps people to transition away from big tech without the need for a hard disruption. You can try Librem Chat without having to use a Linux phone /laptop and even without paying.

For the same reason, you can stay in touch with your family in case you go "all in" with a Linux phone. It's a much saner approach than "making sure WhatsApp can work on the Librem 5", when a major reason to choose it is to leave such companies.

RMS is unflappably rational. He's also uncompromising in a way that makes a lot of people uncomfortable (because it shows them up). Here's his list of reasons not to use Microsoft (despite their recent "charm offensive") - as usual, he's not wrong: stallman.org/microsoft.html

In the forums, at least 3 people so far voiced they want the Aspen one - for the historical and the "handmade with love" aspect of it ;)

Oh. I guess I'm filter bubbled...

You know... I'm waiting for that photo of Stallman, excited like a 3yr old, using a mobile phone - for the first time!?

Warte nicht auf die Politik. Gibt ja f-droid oder e-foundation.

Ich warte dagegen auf mein Librem 5 phone.
Purism möchte sogar eine Ampel für die apps haben, aber sowas was bei dir gelb oder rot wäre, käme da eh nie im Leben rein ;)

Passwords that you litter copies around under your keyboard and biometric keys have a common expiry date: immediately.

Wow! That's an opener!

"Our modern secular religion is the worship of markets as self-correcting, self-perfecting systems that merely demand that we all act in our own self-interest to produce an outcome that makes us all better off. Whenever corporations thrive by making us all worse off, we’re told to stop complaining, because it is the “will of the market” at work."

Dieses Video trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf, und das auf sehr humoristische - bzw. angesichts der Botschaft tragikomische - Weise.

We're Fucked.

Pissing Google that hard, one wants to be certain to have no dirty secrets.
Brave action.

Biometric authentication has a built-in backup system. Smart. 🙃

There are three main categories of authentication:
Something you know
Something you have
Something you leave copies of everywhere you go.
