App privacy labels show stark contrasts among messaging apps https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/04/app-privacy-labels-messaging-apps/

TL;DR:

Signal - perfect!

iMessage - very good (and defensible).

WhatsApp - huh, that's starting to seem a little sus.

Facebook Messenger: oh hell no.

App Showcase: Weather

"The Librem 5 is designed to protect your privacy, and include a privacy-respecting Weather app. When opened this retrieves weather data from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, and only them."

Made a proof-of-concept hack to disable #squeekboard in #mobian and #pureos when an external keyboad gets connected.

It consists of a udev .rules file, a bash script and and application link for a "switch keyboard" app icon to toggle the setting by tapping on it.

@agx provided the information about the gsetting to use and Dorota helped me with information about the future of this function in squeekboard: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/254.

Today in digital archaeology: I wanted a PDF calendar generator and found one from 2009 that seemed nice, but the website had long ago disappeared. Luckily the internet archive had crawled it, and since the code was GPL'ed, I was able to update it to build on a modern system and produce page-a-day agendas for my e-ink tablet. https://github.com/osresearch/DynamicTemplates

A reprise of my #librem5 benchmark to add the #pinephone

My October toots about it for context:

3) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989174678396616

tl;dr – this is based on the build times of a C++ project I’m puttering around with

No real news. The L5 is about twice as fast as the pinephone in this case. Neither is actually fast. My desktop’s best time is 2.3 seconds compared to the L5’s 36

Have you ever noticed how many security experts speak out against encryption backdoors, but design systems that anchor all trust in their company's signing key?

Enough time has passed that I feel like I can share my (possibly controversial) perspective on software supply chain security without it seeming reactive or opportunistic: https://puri.sm/posts/the-future-of-software-supply-chain-security/
