Three conclusions to draw from #Google denying #Huawei access to software & the importance #FreeSoftware has for technology users, public bodies, and businesses alike: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20190520-01.html
A quick rundown on the contributions Purism made that are included in Linux kernel 5.1.
Includes significant hardware support for the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone.
@lunduke any chance you get in contact with Jupiter Broadcasting about their Linux Unplugged #299 episode about librem.one? It's amazing how many things they got wrong even though the information is publicly available.

It is so confusing when people spread FUD about a company that wants to further exactly the cause that they all are behind, being more critic of every single step than they ever were of any step surveillance capitalism has taken.
I tried to defuse some of more stupid accusations, but outrage always spreads faster and wider than any rectification ever will. 🙄
@toxomat @danielst @dungeonhack @purism Thank you so much 💖 !
Please spread the word, we really need help to make Mobilizon known outside our French-FLOSS-supporters bubble ;).

Folks, for years: We have a problem called Surveillance Capitalism, it’s a systemic problem arising from socio-economic factors…
Ex-Googler: Hmm, this problem, very exotic… what shall I call it without criticising either surveillance or capitalism? Time well spent?
Folks: SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM! It’s the feedback loop between accumulation of information (surveillance) and accumulation of wealth (capitalism)
Ex-Googler: …human downgrading?
🤔

The ultimate cheat sheet?
* curl or browser interface
* 56 programming languages
* several DBMSes
* 1000+ UNIX commands
* CLI interface too (cht.sh)
* Use directly from code editors
I'm now taking questions for the Lunduke Show from here on Librem Social / Fediverse!
Here's how to do it:
1) Ask the question.
2) Tag me: @lunduke
3) Use the hashtag #AskLunduke
That way it's easy for me to find when I'm planning shows. I'm lazy like that. ;)
[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. #libremone
Let us tell you about the new Librem Chat: the no worries, free, end-to-end encrypted chat, VoIP and video-calling service.

As part our commitment to open source, today we are announcing the release of GopenPGP, an open source golang encryption library. This library powers all our apps and has been audited for security by @sec_consult. https://protonmail.com/blog/openpgp-golang/
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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=one.librem.mail
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.
