Librem 5 – End of May Progress Update

So many changes -- kernel updates, making calls, messaging, adaptive UI improvements, documentation, and more. Plus some quick video clips demonstrating some of the software work (including running on dev kit)!

@lunduke said this would be, or is about to become something awesome. I didn’t want to miss out on that, so I got onboard as well. Not quite Facebook yet. 😁 6000 people and counting. But it could get there eventually.

Most "duress mode" safeguards are misguided movie threat fantasies, would put you at more risk in real life. Instead, cross borders w/o sensitive data, comply w/ searches w/o smuggling. You are a bad liar, customs agents are pro lie detectors. #infosec

“Just install Linux on it” is the “just change the engine of your car” of tech.

Not everyone is a mechanic, not everyone wants to be a mechanic, and, if we want a world where freedom is the norm, we must stop expecting everyone to become a mechanic.

Note: this is not because these people are too dumb to be mechanics. It’s because they’re brain surgeons and space-shuttle pilots and they have three kids and they care for a loved one and they don’t have time to also be a mechanic.

Yo ASCII / ANSI / BBS artists!

@danielst Wir sehen und verkaufen #deinwal auch lieber als Informationstool - insbesondere auch um die letzte Legislaturperiode nochmal Revue passieren zu lassen.
Aber uns ist die #Verantwortung natuerlich auch bewusst - und fuehrt zu einigen schlaflosen Naechten und jeder menge hitzige #Diskussionen ob eine Frage mit rein soll oder nicht und um minimales Wording etc...
