The first Librem 5 smartphones are shipping https://puri.sm/posts/first-librem-5-smartphones-are-shipping/ “This is a big moment, not just for us as a company, but for everyone concerned about issues of privacy, security, and user freedom. The Librem 5 represents years of work, building the software and hardware required to make this phone a reality.” - Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of #Purism #Librem5 #Librem5Aspen #Linux #LinuxPhone #LinuxMobile #GNOME #FOSS

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," climate activist Greta Thunberg tells the UN. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you." https://cnn.it/2mAXVQb
@bjarni Assuming this is a serious question and for the benefit of those who don't know, here's my take.
Fight for freedom. privacy and anonymity for the common person.
Fight for accountability, transparency and equality for those in positions of power.
At an individual level, keep your work life transparent and your personal life private.
Mass surveillance around the world is growing. We have to fight for our right to privacy and freedom of speech! Here we explain how any backdoor would lessen security for all of us: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

I downloaded the freshly released @inkscape v1.0-beta. It rocks. I send money. Simple as that.
Thanks to every contributor for making awesome software!
I worked on both corporate open-source software and real free software and there's a world of difference between the two. Makes me cringe every time someone says open-source where free software is more appropriate.
I reserve my use of the word open-source for software made by corporations for which the source code is available, but no attention has been paid to respect the freedom of its users or the rights of the developers who worked on it.
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.
I'm so sick of teams and being pushed into groups I don't identify with whatsoever...

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.
