@purism my #librem5 came in the mail!

Here's some fun unboxing pictures

And the blue dot moves!!! :D

#gps on a #librem5 showing my location in #gnome #maps in real time as I walk home.

And yes... I walked **slowly**, an did not walked straight, and the video quality is not the best. But hey it is a lot of progress :D

The space is a parking space close to home.

Credits go out to the several developers that worked on the different parts of the stack necessary for this to work.

Truth dawns..

Great work of explaining #FreeSoftware #compliance! Chinese maker Naomi Wu brought a Chinese company into #GNU #GPL compliance by visiting their office in person and talking to them. The video of that is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj04MKykmnQ #nt thanks @LaF0rge for the pointer!

90 Prozent der Covid-19-Patienten in Kosovos Krankenhäusern müssen beatmet werden. Das bringt die Kliniken an die Belastungsgrenze. Ein Grund ist die sehr niedrige Impfquote im Land. Von Theresa Krinninger.

Ich teile die Kritik an der E-Evidence-Verordnung vollumfänglich. Aber ich erwarte darüber hinaus, dass selbst ohne E-Evidence Patientendaten nicht unverschlüsselt in einer Cloud stehen und vom Cloud-Betreiber abgegriffen werden können. https://www.aerztezeitung.de/Wirtschaft/E-Evidence-Verordnung-Aerzte-sehen-Patientendaten-in-Gefahr-422225.html

My search for a mobile FLOSS operating system

Was also able to use the #librem5 GPS to record the ride back home and convert the data to a *.gpx file to open in GNOME maps.

@storm @lorabe @danielst @devinprater @wizzwizz4 @csepp @pvagner I just donated 50 USD to https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/ to fund "Software Optimizations: Accessibility support/screen reader support with phosh/gtk4" @purism I think we need to find ways to fund a11y support in gtk4, sticking with older unsupported versions is not going to be sustainable for long term.

@wizzwizz4 @devinprater @csepp @praveen @danielst @lorabe @storm I recall a thread where someone recounted some history behind all this, that there were several projects funded by the (American Council for the Blind?) to improve accessibility, but each time Microsoft (a big ACB funder) threatened to pull funding unless they dropped the projects.

And the reason appears to be: governments require accessibility in their software, so MS et al didn't want any threats to their monopoly over government contracts.

So to accuse OSS community of simply not caring enough to bother isn't really accurate - there is deliberate monopolism at play here. MS and Apple might appear to "care more" but only when it gets them access to tenders, and excludes the communal software from the competition.

BookWyrm is the Federated GoodReads Replacement I Didn’t Know I Needed

If you aren’t familiar with the concept, #GoodReads is an Amazon-owned social platform that integrates directly with their Kindle offering. #BookWyrm is an #opensource, #federated
alternative designed by Mouse Reeve, and is supported by Patreon donations.

Die Instanz hier fragt uns, was es Neues gibt. Machen wir es kurz: uns! Wir sind #neuhier und nutzen die Chance einer #vorstellung
Wir sind der Volksverpetzer, ein Kollektiv von round about 20 Leuten und haben keine Lust auf Fake News, Klimawandel, Hass und Hetzkampagnen.

Viele haben das mulmige Gefühl, dass sie etwas Falsches tun, wenn sie Facebook, Twitter oder YouTube benutzen.
Stimmt! Es gibt gute Gründe, die Social-Media-Großmächte zu meiden. Aber es gibt gute Alternativen im #Fediverse.
