The Maine legislature is now considering a bill that would defund the state’s intelligence fusion center. This could become a national model for rolling back the mass surveillance apparatus that’s been growing since 2001. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/eff-calls-maine-support-bill-defunds-local-intelligence-fusion-center

The firmware replacement is the work of Biktorgj (https://github.com/Biktorgj) :) I work on the #ModemManager part to integrate the modem properly within #phosh.

It would be interesting to see if this is related to ModemManager or the modem firmware. Feel free to reach out to us on Matrix in #pinedev:matrix.org !

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. https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/

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."
