Building huge networks with decentralized control means you get new features slower, and sometimes rollouts are messier, but to adopt anything else is to abandon the very freedom that allowed the internet to become what it is today, instead of all being owned by someone like AOL.

Wenn Tutanota Standards wie OpenPGP implementieren würde, wäre IMAP kein Problem.

Mailbox.org und Posteo.de machen vor, wie automatisches Verschlüsseln des Posteingangs funktioniert. Dafür muss nur der öffentliche(!) PGP-Schlüssel auf dem Server hinterlegt werden. Und natürlich kann man die verschlüsselten E-Mails dann immer noch per IMAP abrufen.

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."

I just explained to the 4yo what fuzz testing is, and he was delighted to learn that what he's been doing to all our appliances has a practical purpose.

Can you see the numbers in their silhouettes?
Here is my illustration to wish the end of the pandemic for 2021. Let's hope it will happen.
Happy New Year!

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:
1) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989138328111860
2) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989155078072644
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

@mdm @ajroach42 @alcinnz the low cost of computers today is due in large part to predatory and abusive labor practices, and ecological devastation. your computer is cheap for you, but the system that produces cheap computers comes at great cost.
