The government in #Portugal is making a tracking phone app mandatory by law. Among other features, it forces geographic tracking on at all times. Expect similar things in other members of the #EU. A #Linux phone was never so necessary.
I ordered a #Librem5 from @Puri_sm over three years ago, but am still waiting. There aren't many alternatives, but reality is imposing itself. Hope the #Librem5 makes it on time.

My #Pinephone has been sitting unused on my desk for weeks/months. It's undetected when I plug it to a PC through USB, and no SD card will boot up, so basically I'm stuck with UBports. I think I have a defective unit, but I'm too disheartened to do something about it. 😟

@purism While fixing #convergence related issues in #phosh, #phoc and the kernel for the #librem5 I wanted things to be more automatic. So #phosh can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), #squeekboard gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:
