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
Riding on a wave of nostalgia, took out my #Jolla 1s and #JollaC (running various versions of #SailfishOS 2.x), performed factory resets, and updated all of them to the latest #Sailfish3. Took several hours, but they now feel like brand new devices. I miss the smaller screens!
... and here's the same from yesterday but on a #librem5.
For some reason #plymouth chokes a little compared to the devkit. Patches are all out there now so everyone can build their own encrypted #PureOS images.
#osk-sdl changes are already merged upstream, thanks @craftyguy
@mladen hey the Search Apps still says search apps.
@purism nuce video and kusic!
Based on @craftyguy 's #osk-sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the #librem5's image-builder so one can build #luks encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:

This is the EU Training Regime that is teaching neighbouring countries how to spy on their citizens.
Dialect is a cool new translation app available on Flathub and running on the Librem 5. 😄️
Thanks for the 747 app votes so far! We're just getting started!

@purism well written and in a way i hope most folks can understand and help them see the perversion of living in a digital prison, maybe you guys can make another movie on the castle theme since the we dont look at your junk one was pretty epic!
@purism …and here's a quick Quake II demo using the #librem5 docked via usb-c (audio is from L5's built in speaker) - might be a bit more exciting than running #libreoffice (which also works):
@kyle good point and shows you the power of equipment manufacturers and their software vendor agreements that exist, plus I think the internet being completely built upon ad revenue business model has resulted in a lot of perversions in the system over 30years
