When government seeks to keep you safe, you by necessity become less free. I would rather be free and responsible for my own safety than be kept. | November was a bad month for gun and privacy rights | The Strident Conservative ™

The #Librem5 software team were busy in October: improved power consumption and thermals, refactored integration between various apps, added new features to keyboard, Settings, Shell and Compositor, squashed bugs and more https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-october-2019-software-update/ #Purism
Four days until the surgery and 5 days until I can see with my left eye again. Then 2 weeks for the right eye.
Tuesday is the first cataract surgery. Looking foward to seeing properly again.
