As we approach the release of the Librem 5 smartphone (Q3 of 2019), we're going to take a look at 1 application (or game, or feature) running on the Librem 5 Development Kit every single day.
Starting with something fun:
Day 1 - AisleRiot Solitaire

The Librem 5 smartphone team has been hard at work, and we want to update you all on our software progress.
Including: LibHandy, Calls, Encrypted messaging, patches going upstream, Mesa, Documentation, and... Quake II. Seriously.

Did you know that you can check out source code for things Purism works on (such as Librem One applications and bits relating to the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone) right from https://source.puri.sm?
Source code should be Free.
That's just how we roll.

These are hardware kill switches.
Not a webcam cover. Not software disabled Wi-Fi. Kill switch.
Laptops should have these.
Ours do.
Check out how we made that "See Your Junk" video with free software only :
"Blender is free, forever."
I want to thank Apple and Adobe for making me understand what planed obsolescence means and for making me understand how ethical free software is and how it is important in our society.
Companies usually work for the people that fund them in the first place. That is not an issue and it is something natural. The real issue is who fund the company?
Purism has been funded by the people.

I just wrote a post that talks about user empowerment and how that influences how @purism designs its products, from hardware to software to security to services to social: https://puri.sm/posts/with-purism-products-you-are-in-control/

@gbryant Man, you spoke from my ❤️ there in you latest video about librem.one.

It is so confusing when people spread FUD about a company that wants to further exactly the cause that they all are behind, being more critic of every single step than they ever were of any step surveillance capitalism has taken.
I tried to defuse some of more stupid accusations, but outrage always spreads faster and wider than any rectification ever will. 🙄

It's not just data, it's your life! Don't let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to keep it private and secure, untracked, free from ads, shared or exploited for profit at your expense https://librem.one #LibremOne #privacy #security
I am loving my new librem.one account :D Suddenly it becomes so much easier for me to keep in touch with my family and friends in a privacy respecting way
