Chatty 5.0~beta is out!

https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/tags/v0.5.0_beta

This is the first Chatty released with integrated MMS support!

Some groundwork for #gestures in #phoc paved the way to fix touch and tablet output mapping so you can e.g. use your nexdock's touch screen as well with #phosh. I also made single output mode a bit more useful/robust. MRs are posted:

...and here's the same thing using #phosh. Needs more work and polishing but just to give an idea. It works pretty well with thumb only too but that's hard to record.

phosh 0.14.0 is out 🚀 :

It adds launch splash for starting apps, has media player improvements and much more. Check the release notes (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.14.0) for details.

RT Lock (with permission):

Ok so, I just read through all 173 pages of the unredacted Google antitrust filing and I have to say that either Google is screwed or society is screwed, we'll find out which.

Unordered list of fun things I learned:

- google has a secret deal with facebook called "Jedi Blue" that they knew was so illegal that it has a whole section describing how they'll cover for each other if anyone finds out
- google appears to have a team called gTrade that is wholly dedicated to ad market manipulation
- Google had a plan called "Project NERA" to turn the web into a walled garden they called "Not Owned But Operated". A core component of this was the forced logins to the chrome browser you've probably experienced (surprise!)
- Google is willing to do almost everything to prevent people from circumventing their ad exchanges
- This is what AMP is about
- Google habitually insider trades on their ad exchanges in every way you can think of and every way you can't. Too many ways to list here.
- The exchanges are also rigged so that google wins on bids where they aren't the highest bidder.
- A large amount of people inside google are aware of all of this
- If Google ever tells you some change will increase your ad yield, run. In fact anything they tell you is a lie
- Google has worked with Facebook and Microsoft to discourage them from increasing user privacy, lamenting occasions where they prioritized their reputation over their collective business interest
