Is your laptop upgradeable? Mine is! I got this upgrade in the mail last week.
This A311D module adds WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, and bumps the CPU performance a lot, going from 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores on the old module, to 2x A53 and 4x A73! Roughly doubled the performance of my computer, and now I also get to use bluetooth headphones 😎🎶

Company: we sell open-source hardware!
Also company: we only provide schematics

...ok, so by that logic, I suppose my IBM PC from 1983 is also open-source hardware

@jacqueline @bnys I can contribute up to $4 and one chicken for the cause.

Some of our users work only with audio material like podcast episodes, so it makes sense that they should be able to negotiate percentages rather than semitones when they use vari-speed :) Here is a quick fix from @PaulDavisTheFirst coming in the next release

@fatuus @purism

Check to see if your country is supported:

puri.sm/faq/supported-networks

Purism's data service uses a T-Mobile backhaul network, and Efani reportedly supports AT&T as well (I have not tested this).

@rohrkrepierer@merovingian.club @purism

Purism has reached Librem 5 shipping parity with the presumable exception of the people who have been unresponsive regarding shipping details.

@BrodieOnLinux Wayland via Debian Live. I wrote a suite of customization scripts to enable optional persistence and various quality-of-life extras on my desktops/servers. I've daily-driven this method for over 2 years and don't worry about OS upgrades/migrations or what x86-64 hardware I'm using:

@its@allthingstech.social Not sure, as I usually use Element. I added my account but no Matrix convos apear in Chatty. Would be helpful for me/someone to publish a tutorial.

@its@allthingstech.social Through which method? I can try to replicate.

@its@allthingstech.social Awesome!! Enjoying it so far? Did you get everything updated? I'm not sure how recent the new phones have been imaged, but updates roll out all the time and make a HUGE difference.

@jc I would love to be able to review and use all of these and promote them to my audience because we should all be using more #Opensource

@chiefgyk3d

Want to use tools to audit/improve the hardware? Got you covered:

source.mnt.re/reform/pocket-re

Want flexibility to upgrade the CPU/RAM (or opt for more FOSS hardware) at a later date? Got you covered there as well:

mnt.re/modularity.html

It shares SOMs with the Reform, it's bigger brother. What's the in the right-most table column? You can use it to run soft-cores on the laptop.

There's also a model of the in the works!

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.

And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of internet access to parts of the world whenever he decides to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.

You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.

This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.
