Credit goes to @someunexpectedsparks for the tip about using gpsbabel like that: https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/105653896370247856
Let's not forget to also mention @purism and the #librem5 phone.
Quoting from https://blog.mobian-project.org/posts/2021/02/18/what_is_mobian/ : "We would not be where we are without the Debian ecosystem or Purism and their pioneering efforts to make Linux usable on phones."
@silverhax Congrats!
Yes, probably they are lazy, combined with not understanding that there is any problem.
Laziness and ignorance hand in hand, together forming a powerful force leading us all to a not-so-bright future. 😕
I am not @purism staff, just someone who managed to buy a couple of Librem 5 units second hand. Still waiting for my original orders to ship, for both Librem 5 and MNT reform.
The situation is similar in both cases, perhaps for similar reasons. They are selling a new thing without knowing how long it will take to deliver, giving optimistic estimates of when it will ship.
I can understand why they do it, but I think both underestimate the trust problem they get.
@mntmn Great! Approaching my order soon? (ordered Oct 2020)
You say "#Apple stop spying on us!"
I say "People, stop buying apple hardware and software!"
@mntmn If I place a new order now, how soon would that ship?
@jrballesteros05 I have worked with some NAT (network address translation) solutions that are needed because of the lack of IPV4 addresses. I can tell you that it is a terrible mess, the proper solution would be to move to a system with enough addresses available, such as IPV6.
I think that brokep may have a point: the current situation benefits those who own lots of IPV4 addresses, it is not in their interest to change this.
For the public good, moving more to IPV6 would be a good thing.
This is interesting, about #Bitcoin and #China and so on:
"The threat of an unregulated alternative monetary system emerging from blockchain technology is a clear and present danger to the Communist party, according to observers."
"Jim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager and CNN business expert, said the government in Beijing “believe it’s a direct threat to the regime because … it is outside their control”."
