Chatty 0.6.0 is out, and with that, MMS Support on Phosh!

Okay so, look:

Freedom is a right.

Dominance is a privilege.

If your freedom infringes on the freedom of others, it's dominance, which is not a right. Your privileges do not take precedence over the rights of others.

I think that makes sense.

Did you know that one of the ways Android and IOS reduce energy consumption is by using a unified system-level notification provider?
UnifiedPush is FOSS implementation of the same idea that could help projects such as #pinephone and #linuxphones in general by providing both a framework to reduce battery consumption and a more unified interface to code notifications on.

If you follow FOSS, would you please boost?

I started daily driving my OG #pinephone exactly a month ago, and so far the only reason I turned on my Android phone was to give me access to Signal, andd then to just wipe it fully.

I would call that a success so far!

Inspired by the recent news of Canon bypassing toner DRM and Microsoft's Pluton chip, I wrote a piece that explores how DRM fits into plans to lock general-purpose computers down like printers and smartphones. https://puri.sm/posts/the-beat-of-a-different-drm/

This is awesome!

I've made some terrible Mastodon ads in GIMP.
Hey, if anyone want's to run them and see what happens... Just make sure it's ok with the trademark owner of the Mastodon logo (I couldn't find out who).

And yes, I think its best we advertise Mastodon... People coming from places like Twitter will find it more inviting than things like Pleroma.

1/many

Canon can't get enough toner chips, so it's telling customers how to defeat its DRM.

We're running a poll on our website to learn more about the #pinephone community. It is 9 questions long and shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to fill in.

Thank you and Happy New Year!
