Several years ago, a colleague told me an old war story about how he was asked to build a database of his colleague's notes from therapy sessions, so that their employers could secretly read them. I asked if he knew it was illegal, and he said yes. I asked if he refused the work, he said no. I asked if he told the authorities, he said no. He seemed to think this was all perfectly fine.

I still think about that conversation a lot.

Despite of the country being on lockdown, we keep getting guests that ain't afraid of anything - and they sure tweet more than I do.

Tip: the only people who think that the Open Source Definition does not define "open source" are saying so because they have a vested interest in marketing software which does not qualify for the title as such. Watch out for these arguments, they are gaslighting you.

Oh, and that's of course on the 2000mAh battery. The final model is going to have a 3600mAh one :)

That's with the screen, modem, WiFi and USB off. Modem probably wouldn't influence it that much though.

I've collected some hacks from our kernel team and tested the idle time on battery on my Librem 5 Birch - got almost exactly 6 hours while staying at 38°C the whole time. Not that long ago it struggled to reach 3h and stay under 60°C - and they're not done yet! :D

0.2.0 got released:

source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

featuring first quick settings (for battery, rotation and feedback), proximity sensor support and more ground work for better notifications and translation updates.

What is Mobile ? A walk through of what is included in PureOS, the default /#Linux distribution installed on the puri.sm/posts/what-is-mobile-p written by our @dos

Another WIP feature - power users will appreciate this one ;) This is unmodified GNOME Maps. It wouldn't fit on the screen, but phoc can now automatically scale its window down to make it fit.

It still needs a lot of work, but a proof of concept for window thumbnails in appears to work :) @purism

The next merge request will make cross the 1000 commit boundary:
