I feel it's more accurate to say "Apple and Google are using corona to justify building a tracking system into Android and iOS"
Just ordered my #PinePhone!
Super excited. I don't care if it takes weeks / months to come, or is delayed. I don't care if stuff is broken or non functional yet. Just to be able to contact friends and look at stuff online, on mobile, without operating system level surveillance is worth it x100 for me.
Can't wait to help the community!
Thanks #Google/#Apple'! Your Orwellian relationship #surveillance, aka "contact tracing" plans gave me the final push I needed to make the leap.

Have there been public statements by #Purism or #Pine64 in relation to the #COVID19apps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_apps ?
People who are forced by their governments to install a COVID-19 privacy-violating app (aka "privacy-preserving") may prefer to install these on a #Librem5 / #PinePhone. Installing the app would be less risky with a hardware bluetooth kill switch (Librem5) or at least a software bluetooth kill switch, rather than with a GAFAM-updated-OS.
@shebang same here I want mine yesterday lol!!!
BREAKING: ICANN has voted to REJECT the sale of the .ORG registry to private equity firm Ethos Capital. This is a major victory for the millions of nonprofits, civil society organizations, and individuals who make .ORG their home online. #SaveDotOrg https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-board-withholds-consent-for-a-change-of-control-of-the-public-interest-registry-pir https://t.co/sFLcwZqU1B
Good morning
My #pinephone cases are ready for air transport out of Shenzhen this morning.
Unfortunately, I still have orders from last month stuck in the same status with no signs of actually moving across the Pacific.
More news as the situation develops.
So far so good, @fdroidorg is really cool I don't know why I haven't used it sooner, hopefully I can spread the word far enough that people will start developing more apps for it. In combination with #pinephone, #librem5, #mastodon, #lbry, and #bitchute
*cough* *#pinephone* *cough*
Now the cat is out of the bag anyway (I shouldn't have told people lol), I got #glacier running on #postmarketOS
@thrrgilag That's what I always do at my business then 2 hours later I snap out of it and realize my bookkeeper needed those figures from me an hour ago lol.
@rbrown @thrrgilag If only all companies would use GNU/Linux productivity would go up IT costs would go down and uptime would go thru the roof.
@thrrgilag Hopefully you won't have to do that too many times!!
