"Restoring democracy, in the US and many other countries, is the overarching political struggle of our time, and it extends into many areas of life. Campaigning to eliminate unjust digital systems is one aspect of that struggle."

From chapter 5, page 60, in the new book "System Override". It has chapters independently written by Nadine Strossen, Pia Mancini, Brittany Kaiser, Richard Stallman, Hannah Wolfman-Jones, and Santiago SIri. Chapter 5 is written by Stallman.

Amazing how fast grows. I put three grains in the soil one week ago, now they're already 7-8 cm tall.

Had a bit of an identity crisis this morning. Luckily there was a command that helped resolve it. I know who I am.

Pictures from my morning walk the other day, down by the water along Edsviken north of Stockholm. I didn't meet it in person, but something tells me there is a living around here.

The wishing the a merry Christmas and a happy GNU year, by SMS from the command-line. 😃 PureOS and @postmarketOS both running . The script on the Librem 5 is using mmcli commands to send SMS messages. @purism

From the telnet man page: "The source code is not comprehensible." In case you were wondering. 😄

Meh. Just wanted to login, but no, must first see this list of logos of the things I'm trying to avoid. Well, as long as the email option is still there, I suppose there is still hope. They don't own everyone, not yet. :-)

Starting a phone call from the terminal on a Birch. This call is to the good old "Fröken ur" speaking-clock service telling us the current time in Swedish. Fröken ur apparently existed since 1934 but it was not until 2020 that I learned how to call her from the terminal. 😃 Thanks @dos for the tip that xdg-open could be used in this way. @purism

@geary @gnome @purism Just got the email client running on a Birch. This is a Geary version built from Purism's git repo source.puri.sm/Librem5/geary (I tried the upstream version also but got into trouble with the initial account setup dialog that did not fit the screen). Anyway, glad to see this is working!

@thibaultamartin @gnome @purism OK, new attempt: Birch, -maps 3.38.1 installed via flatpak (flathub). This works much better, and no need for that -O0 trick anymore. This version seems to adapt perfectly to the screen size. It works really well!

@thibaultamartin @purism @gnome Just managed to get GNOME Maps running on a Birch. At first there was a crash in libmozjs but now, after recompiling libmozjs with -O0 -- it works! -maps
