More to come - we're building a rolling release as well.

Information can have a long life and it’s hard to know who will control the filing cabinets, computers, or databases next. Learn from history: If information in the wrong hands can be used to do harm, it’s best not to collect it in the first place.

Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.1 is out!

Start porting your application from GTK 3 and Libhandy to GTK 4 and Libadwaita now with our migration guide: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l

Be aware that the API is bound to change until the first beta, planned for mid-August.

'whoogle' which allows you to host your own Google search. Here's an example isntance: search.garudalinux.org/search

GTK4's GPU-accelerated GL renderer(s) got a major performance boost in the last few days! Previously it struggled to render simple UIs with single digit FPS on the Librem 5; now it can get pretty fancy :)

@selea Hope you're well! Thanks again for hosting a mirror for us! I wonder how much bandwidth on average our distro takes? I suppose that may be hard to calculate given you host other distros, but if you had a general idea that would be cool. There's someone who's asking since they want to host a mirror as well.

At least some hope: "The ratio of commits by female authors has grown steadily over the past 50 years, reaching in 2019 for the first time 10% of all contributions to public code." Thanks @zacchiro for your work here.

With GNOME 40, most core apps are going to have rounded bottom corners.

Many third party apps have already had them for a while but if your app doesn't yet, you still have a few weeks to get it in shape before 40 ;)

@todd @kyle next time people ask why the L5 is more expensive than other Linux phones I will point to this toot. (Besides beefier hardware) Thanks for contributing to the *real* open ecosystem!

OpenPGP in Your Pocket

"Access to the smart card reader on the Librem 5 is something we at Purism have been looking forward to for a long time. That day is finally here..."

Coming soon to a Librem 5 near you: support for the internal OpenPGP smart card reader.

Spent some time on getting my old Librem 5 port of Jumpdrive into shape, so it can get upstreamed. It's a super useful little recovery utility to have in your tool belt :) github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/

- Announcing the Librem Mini V2

"The Librem Mini v2 in just about all respects matches the Mini v1 including the same base price. The big difference is that we can now offer a new, 10th gen i7-10510U Intel processor. "
