Today we've updated the Librem One website with two important documents:
A short guide to staying safe online no matter what online service you are using. Like our policy document we've kept it short and to the point, with links to more detailed, independent resources if you'd like to learn more.
As well as a code of conduct that makes it clear we will respond to reports of harassment, for example on Librem Social, our opt-in social network.
I'm so excited for Google IO 2019 that as much as I want a Librem 5, I have to have features for making phone calls and listening to talk radio for those who are hearing impaired such as myself. I am going to totally regret not getting @purism Librem 5.

Linux kernel 5.1 has been released https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/05/linux-kernel-5-1-release
I'm excited about Google releasing Google Pixel 3a XL this year despite being excited for @purism #Librem5 as the new Pixel 3a smartphone will bring back 3.5mm headphone jack. #GoogleIO starts tomorrow at 10:00 AM PDT. A phone that's privacy-centric is great but I won't be able to take advantage of Google Assistant in Librem 5.
What do you think?

@distrotube@mastodon.technology was accused of racism and quit his job. @gbryant What are your thoughts about his comments in YouTube? To Derek, I always have your back. Don't let racism get to you. Racism is not an excuse.

So much drama in the SPC
It's kinda hard being T-O-double-D
But, he, somehow, someway, keeps on comin' up with Librem hardware every single day
He's got coders in the chat room buildin' a phone
They ain't leavin' till 6 in the morn (PST)
Now we gonna pick a license for this. GNU's up, closed's down while you other developers code to this.
Rollin' down the street, writin' free code, licensed for GNU, laid back, with my mind on the Librem and the Librem on my mind.

Meet Librem One, a suite of #privacy-focused chat, social, mail and VPN apps from @purism https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/04/purism-privacy-android-ios-apps
I'm very happy I signed up for @purism #LibremOne and Purism will launch PureOS store soon.
Would I switch to PureOS in my desktop machine? Since I like to play Steam games and I have NVIDIA GPU, I'm sticking with Arch Linux.
Of course, AMD does have proprietary firmware blob, so I won't get the FSF-liked experience for gaming. Pure open-source drivers for games is impossible when it comes to Steam and Proton.
Reading the article about Target exposing teenage girl's pregnancy made me go "are you f--..." like mad. and didn't finish off with "kidding me" with a question. Retail stores can be so #immoral. No #privacy at all.
