@geary @gnome @purism Just got the #Geary email client running on a #librem5 Birch. This is a Geary version built from Purism's git repo https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/geary (I tried the upstream version also but got into trouble with the initial account setup dialog that did not fit the screen). Anyway, glad to see this is working! #FreeSoftware #GNOME #GNU #Linux

You can now install #UbuntuTouch on your #Pixel3a using the #UBportsInstaller! https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/sargo/

#phosh 0.5.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.5.1

This is mostly bugfixes over 0.5.1 plus translations updates but also enables docked mode for tablets thanks (thanks to Arnaud)

Anyone who complains about Nvidia issues on Wayland (or Linux in general!) has a moral obligation to boycott their business. Wayland developers have told you exactly why Nvidia is not supported, and who is to blame. Harassing Wayland devs because they have a name and a face you can harass, rather than boycotting the faceless multi-billion dollar company who is responsible, makes that person an asshole and a shitty consumer.

Nvidia is the one who deliberately engineers cryptographic solutions to subvert the free software driver. Nvidia is the one who refuses to collaborate with the community on standardization. Nvidia is the ONLY GRAPHICS VENDOR WHICH IS NOT UPSTREAM.

If you spent $1,000 on a GPU which became a brick when you tried to use Wayland on it, that's on YOU. Not on Wayland. Letting your confirmation bias protect your ego from the possibility that you made a mistake and turning that feeling into harassing FOSS developers and spreading misinformation about their work is FUCKED UP and needs to stop.

In just a few weeks we will start shipping Librem 5 Evergreen!

You can still pre-order your #librem5 now and save $50 off - but be quick - early bird pricing ends soon!

Librem 5 Laptop Mode

"The Librem 5 can now change from factors easily. Connect it to a powered USB-C dock to enable desktop mode. Or connect it to a laptop dock to turn your phone into a fully working laptop."

Whew, back home.

Cooking up a nice meal actually. I’ll be up a bit later than usual eating it… but I feel like eating something good after work tonight.

IMO the greatest barrier to all of the #decentalized platforms I use is discovery. #mastodon Lbry.tv matrix.org rss etc etc. How do I find new people to follow or new content I might like. As a #ML engineer by day I feel like I need to pick up the fight on creating #FOSS sdks for recommendations and curation that also keep all data client side or do distributed learning on users local data. Should I do a full blog post to flush out this idea more?

Interesting. Comes with a keyboard and can currently run LineageOS or Ubuntu Touch.

"Earlier this year, we partnered with F(x)tec to discuss how we can bring an alternative platform to a wider audience. The F(x)tec Pro1-X does just this: it’s the world’s first phone to run LineageOS out of the box, and you can also get a version running Ubuntu Touch OS.""

"If you happen to love Linux or Android, adored the Nokia N900 and miss the glory days of physical keyboards on your phone, say hello to your early Christmas present. UK-based F(x)tec and renowned smartphone community XDA have joined forces to create a beautifully crafted, privacy-focused smartphone that not only looks terrific but marks a significant first: The Pro1-X ships with pure Android alternative LineageOS out of the box."
