Receiving MMS on the #librem5 is working now, using #ModemManager and mmsd and #chatty, after some recent fixes including an addition to libqmi to allow sending ack for "transfer route MT" messages, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/issues/30 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/257 #phosh #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism #gnomeonmobile

John Rawls' "Veil of Ignorance" is still one of the most intriguing though experiments to me:
"Suppose that you and a group of people had to decide on the principles that would establish a new society.
However, none of you know anything about who you will be in that society. Elements such as your race, income level, sex, gender, religion, and personal preferences are all unknown to you.
After you decide on those principles, you will then be turned out into the society you established."
Using #gimp on the #librem5 works better now thanks to the new display scaling feature in #phosh 0.8.0 #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism @agx #gnomeonmobile

The #librem5 wishing the #pinephone a merry Christmas and a happy GNU year, by SMS from the command-line. 😃 PureOS and @postmarketOS both running #phosh. The script on the Librem 5 is using mmcli commands to send SMS messages. #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism #gnomeonmobile
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. :-)

@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?" 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?
