Why Purism will not get a warrant for your phone nor phone data, because everything you buy from us, you own fully. In the latest case, Apple gets the warrant because they own the user’s data. Read more from Purism founder, Todd Weaver https://puri.sm/posts/apples-subpoenas-show-they-own-you/

The Supreme Court finally trimmed back the reach of the CFAA in ways that should help protect researchers, innovators and people who check sports scores at work. There's more to be done, but this is a good step and we're celebrating. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/06/van-buren-victory-against-overbroad-interpretations-cfaa-protects-security

@purism Can I please get my Librem 5 I ordered years ago?

Arizona AG Mark Brnovich is suing Google for lying to its users about location privacy, tracking them even after they opted out. A newly released set of unredacted Google records are explosive evidence of the company's deception.

The documents show that Google deliberately engineered its products so that you couldn't get your own location, or share it with an app, without also giving your location data to Google, too.

Troubleshooting coreboot and EC firmware isn't for the faint of heart, but when a small number of Librem 14s wouldn't boot after being flashed, it meant a deep dive into firmware troubleshooting. Dive in with us as we go from problem to solution: https://puri.sm/posts/wrangling-the-ec-adventures-in-power-sequencing/

Apple's testimony today describes their future for computing. In the name of security, Apple wants to vet (and get a cut from) all software installed on all Macs, not just iPhones. This has always been the plan, but it takes time to boil the frog that is traditional computers.

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

To ease debugging issues on the road i made #gnome-logs shrink to smaller screen sizes. This is based on @brainblasted 's work to make #gnome-logs use #libhandy initially.

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 !
