People who've done FOSS/self-hosted home automation, what system(s) did you use and how well does your setup work?

Do you have an idea for a Librem 5 app? Here’s a guide to setup your local development environment https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment/Boards/emulators.html and an app design tutorial to get you started https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-app-design-tutorial-naming-your-app/ #purism #linuxphone #mobilelinux

Edward @Snowden@twitter.com: “Surveillance is not now – nor has it ever been – about public safety. It's about power, it's about control, it's about influence. It's the ability to predict and to shape outcomes.”

Servicetweet: alle, die gerade noch #Snowden Rezensionen schreiben und sich fragen, was zur Hölle eigentlich die Ergebnisse des Untersuchungsausschusses waren, den es wegen ihm gegeben hatte, können sich gern an mich wenden. Ich hab alles da.

Here's a great article from Google Project Zero: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-font-vulnerability-to-rule-them-all.html

Covers both the history and complexity of fonts, and how easy it is to accidentally achieve Turing Completeness. I think I'll learn something from it.

@thomasfuchs I'm a hybrid Mac/Linux person. Fingers crossed Librem 5 but that will at best probably only be a geek niche thing. I agree I want my stuff to "just work".

I'm so sick of teams and being pushed into groups I don't identify with whatsoever...

Left v Right
Black v White
Cis v LGBT
Linux v Windows
Python v Ruby
Nike v Reebok
Red v Blue
Europe v USA

Fuck all those stereotypes and judge people for what they say and do, not for what you make them out to be from the get go.

We’ve published a Librem 5 Batch FAQ to answer the community's questions from last week's shipping announcement. We will update the FAQ regularly https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-batch-faq/ #purism #librem5

Gegen #AppZwang! Sicher wird Online-#Banking nicht durch dubiose Apps aus dubiosen AppStores auf dubiosen Betriebssystemen auf dubiosen Mobilgeräten, sondern durch echte #2FA mit einem separaten #TAN-Generator, also mit dem Verfahren Chip-TAN.

"Apple's Webkit"
Originally written by KDE.

@aral So if you don't like Mozilla or Google, that leaves the one major browser engine you'd approve of being Apple's WebKit? I hope you can see why I say we need a Small Tech browser engine?

And from studying the current state of play, such an engine cannot afford the complexity of an efficient JavaScript engine nor it's extensive APIs.

I get hundreds of millions of dollars every year by legitimising surveillance capitalists and enabling them to violate your privacy by default. (I wouldn’t exist without them.) Please trust me on privacy.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

OK, OK, you can stop glaring: I’m Mozilla, y’all love me. 💕

It has come to my attention that there are those on Mastodon who think that anyone who doesn't agree with their politics should be cast out of the federation.

Please stand up for Freedom of Speech.

True Freedom of Speech means you will have to deal with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you and will therefor come across views that either make you happy or extremly angry.

Communication is the key to making the world a better place and the only way that progress can be made.

If you lock people out becase they don't agree with you, you are only hurting those you claim to care about because those with extreme views will continue to speak, with the only difference being that no one will challenge them.

Arrogance is the biggest threat to our society.

#Librem5 by @purism and #Pinephone to launch this fall.

I’ve preordered a Librem 5, but hope both phones are a great success.

I’ve been following the Librem 5 for about a year now, and it sounds like when it launches September 24, it will be perfectly usable. From this article, I think the PinePhone will be in a “perfectly usable” state come March 2020.

Finally, true GNU/Linux phones, coming VERY soon 🙂

@jlcrawf I'm not espousing any personal views about the far right, the far left, or Islam. I was only pointing out the similarities in some of the sentiments and rhetoric I see in social media today to those I saw in the aughts for the War on Terror and those I wasn't alive for but read about in the 1950s for the Cold War. All in the context of how similar thinking was used to justify the abuses documented in that book.
