This is funny 😄 "How many GNU/Linux users are needed to change a light bulb?" https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/users-lightbulb.html #gnu

Search engines should be the business of libraries, not companies.
Starting a phone call from the terminal on a #librem5 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 #calls #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware

Imagine there existed a cooperative dedicated to bringing GNOME forward, and its members worked full time on polishing the ecosystem.
If the designers and engineers announced their projects, and a communication team kept you posted of progress.
Would you throw money at it? And how would you contribute?

@geary @gnome @purism Just got the #Geary email client running on a #librem5 Birch. This is a Geary version built from Purism's git repo https://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! #FreeSoftware #GNOME #GNU #Linux

i would like to set up a (self-hosted!) support ticket system that is integrated with email / that i can forward emails into, and a team of people can respond to these tickets, preferrably web-based. do you have any recommendations?

Well today's the day. Please vote with your conscience, Americans, thinking of your country, the rest of the world, and the planet.
@thibaultamartin @gnome @purism OK, new attempt: #librem5 Birch, #gnome-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 #librem5 Birch. At first there was a crash in libmozjs but now, after recompiling libmozjs with -O0 -- it works! #gnome-maps
@thibaultamartin @purism Nice to see that GNOME Maps has now been added here: https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/

Free software is a prerequisite for a modern free society, even during these trying times -- and the more members we have, the stronger our movement is. Please help us meet our goal of 200 "gnu" members by August 7! https://www.fsf.org/appeal/

Whatever happened to micro payments reagarding news?
I'd be far more willing to pay a small fee to read some articles, than to start a subscription. Subscriptions incentivize people to reduce the diversity of news they get, which AFAIK is a Bad Thing.
