Q3 2019 must finally be upon us, because my #Librem5 showed up in the mail yesterday!

ICE is not the first, and will probably not be the last, federal agency to abuse our notion of what is “relevant” for an investigation in order to collect information on millions of people. This must end. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/heres-how-ice-illegally-obtained-bulk-financial-records-western-union

So, here's a map of where Clearview's online surveillance system has been found illegal by data protection authorities (blue), and where legal challenges are ongoing (purple)

Well, here we are proving the naysayers wrong. We are shipping products with PureOS and we achieved exactly what we wanted: convergence between the desktop/ Librem laptop and the Librem phone. Here is a quick look!

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!
