Can I call myself a "contributor" now even though technically I didn't add anything, just removed one line? 😃
External #Bluetooth speaker works flawlessly with #Mobian on #Pinephone. One can use #music #streaming services like #Bandcamp which respect your #freedom and don't use #DRM against you.
Time to abandon the #smartphone walled gardens of #Android and #iOS and switch to a #Linuxphone
#Minetest 5.4.0 has been released! https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26322
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
#phosh 0.8.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.8.1
Mostly bug fixes and cleanups this time around from @eliasr , @dos and yours truly.
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

@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
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
