To the tech community let's stop using the phrase "This is or isn't my daily driver". This is terrible and who should have say three cars in the garage and only use the Prius for Groceries, the Porsche for Highway driving, the the Tahoe for going skiing. That's for rich people, how about having one daily driver like a Subaru to do it all, there should be one device to rule them all not 3 or 7 that's a nightmare scenario when it comes to maintenance costs, upkeep costs, cross device data loss etc

@purism doesn't make sense why no give librem tunnel users the open vpn cents and keypads file and let them install librem tunnel via open vpn app. I tried that in iOS and doesn't work either, why would that not work??

Why Librem Tunnel is Leaving iOS

"Recently we’ve been forced to remove Librem Tunnel from iOS due to their unfair policies and in this post we’ll explain why."

Oh also I forgot to mention what opensnitch was. It's similar to Little Snitch on Macs, but for Linux. It tracks outgoing network connections and throws up prompts so you can allow/deny them. github.com/evilsocket/opensnit

@purism it would be nice to see this with a phone dock that's using an Apple Laptop, if you think that could sensibly be rolled out?

All week as we were preparing this article all I could think was: "No disassemble! No disassemble Librem 5!"

Your Smartphone Doesn't Have To Be Glued Shut!

@agx thats awesome but the volume popup or any switch interaction popup on the little screen should be a banner and not lock the entire usage of the device just because the user is changing the volume, imagine a stuck volume command bricking the use if the device too risky

@kyle you guys should sell a dock that works for sure through the purism website and that is tested 8)!

Phosh Overview

"phosh is graphical shell for mobile, touch based devices like smart phones. It’s the default graphical shell on Purism’s Librem 5 (and that’s where it came to life) but projects like Postmarket OS, Mobian and Debian have picked it up putting it into use on other devices as well and contributing patches."

@martijnbraam @postmarketOS I had actually asked purism why that wouldn't be possible on their pure os running phone given that Linux typically can run from a ISB drive or external storage u it. Then you wouldn't have to flash your device with such large files as the OS

New @postmarketOS installer feature. You can now choose if you want to install to the SD you're booted from or install to the #pinephone internal storage :)

I have read the software is still a bit buggy, have you experienced crashes? I think a stable UI would be essential an would improve security as well.
