Imagine your boss was an algorithm. Imagine you got fired by that algorithm.

Hard to believe?

Well, that's already the case for a lot of gig economy workers.

The San Francisco Police Department illegally spied on Black-led protests against police violence in 2020. Watch @eff and @ACLU_NorCal ask a court to hold SFPD accountable at a livestreamed hearing. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/livestreamed-hearing-friday-eff-will-ask-court-issue-judgment-against-sfpd-illegally

"Jaywalking" as a crime was invented by car companies in the 20s, to shift blame to people on foot for being hit by cars. "Littering" was invented in the 50s by paper cup and tin can manufacturers to shift blame to people who drop trash. The phrase "personal carbon footprint" came from a BP marketing campaign intended to shift blame for climate change away from petrochemical companies to individuals.

When they call themselves "the party of personal responsibility"?

This is what that means.

Got to play (as in only tested, and did none of the work), with a couple merge requests in #phosh to improve VPN support in #phosh
Top bar shows a VPN padlock symbol, and the openvpn connection worked. In this case using Librem One. And Duckduckgo thinks I am in the US.
One note: this was only for adding better support for VPN in #phosh, the VPN settings panels in #GNOME Control Center still need to be made adaptive. But again: “hey it is progress”. Kudos to @agx for this work!

Nice. The Swedish government moves to Open Source.... and to Nextcloud. https://nextcloud.com/blog/swedish-government-nextcloud-premier-digital-collaboration-platform/

As it currently stands, the large ISPs have no incentive to make their services better. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/internet-needs-fair-rules-road-and-competitive-drivers

So far #phosh's system prompts had no way to express the input purpose as #GCR used underneath didn't yet support it, hence e.g. a SIM card pin prompt would bring up a full keyboard instead of just a keypad.

After patching #gcr, #phosh, #squeekboard and gnome-settings-deamon this is how it looks like atm:

#librem5 #linux #gnomeonmobile

Some groundwork for #gestures in #phoc paved the way to fix touch and tablet output mapping so you can e.g. use your nexdock's touch screen as well with #phosh. I also made single output mode a bit more useful/robust. MRs are posted:
