@purism I was unable to find the place where you explain how that funding will be used (allocating internal developer time to work on the apps, paying upstream developers…). Can you point me to that page?

This is funny 😄 "How many GNU/Linux users are needed to change a light bulb?" gnu.org/fun/jokes/users-lightb

Search engines should be the business of libraries, not companies.

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

@purism @agx @dos which parts of software are most important to test right now, for someone who has a Birch phone and wants to help?

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?

🔄 boosts welcome

@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!

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: 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

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! 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.
