Did you know that you can update the firmware of a USB-C cable?

Yes. Cable.

...and a fair share of issues mentioned are already fixed or waiting for being released :)

I guess my #Librem5 is dual-sim now :D

@martijnbraam Haha I just stumbled upon that a few days ago as well :)

@martijnbraam Update your phoc and its wlroots, it's been fixed for a while ;)

@setthemfree @purism Hehe :) Check it out! https://holypangolin.itch.io/spider-disco I intentionally avoided any spoilers in the video :D

Why do people say that #Librem5 is "so thick"? I mean, just look, it's clearly the thinnest one! ;)

@kyle @briana In fact these blobs are stored on replaceable modules, so I guess they actually are user-updatable in a way... ;)

@sir If it was proprietary, I probably have long forgotten what's even going on there and would be of limited usefulness if not contracted for some sensible amount of time to go through the code and recall everything. So unless it's literally just answering some simple questions from the top of my head, won't do their work for free.

If it was copyleft, I'd likely be glad to help, of course provided that I can actually find some spare time for that.

@KekunPlazas @trebach@mastodon.sdf.org @purism @matrix It already works on CI images, and fixes are slowly arriving into PureOS.

"I'm blown away by what Purism has been able to accomplish. This is a much more polished product than I expected when I backed. (...) All the basics are there and it seems to be a solid foundation for the future" :) https://azdle.net/2019/11/comparing-apples-and-gnomes/ #librem5 #purism #gnu #linux #mobile

@TurdFerguson @ben Mechanical switches on the Librem 5 cannot be bypassed - they do truly disconnect those peripherals.
