Tobias Bernard (@tbernard) gives a brief overview of adaptive apps on GNOME that work well on computers of all shapes and sizes. Full talk at https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/mobile_adwaita/
I finally fired Google. In this post I write about how I got locked in, how I got out, and what took me so long. #privacy https://puri.sm/posts/i-finally-fired-google/
Another good reason to buy an L5 is that you are supporting the development of Mobile Linux. Purism pays for a full time engineers to develop for mobile linux!
Less than 1hr from the start of my @fosdem talk, I wanted to share a small surprise: this, ladies and gentlemen, is a @Fairphone 4 running @mobian :)
Still far from full support, but kudos to @z3ntu for their work on mainlining this device!
I finally ironed out the remaining known issues in my #PinePhone autowake script!
It now works fine on @mobian and @ManjaroARM with both #Phosh and #PlasmaMobile.
I guess it should also work fine on a #Librem5...
It's purpose is to wake up the phone periodically to check emails and instant messages (since we don't have push notifications yet).
And now it does not cut calls inadvertently anymore ^^"

Here is a new blog post!

Yet another reason to never give to a go fund me account.

Chatty 0.6.0 is out, and with that, MMS Support on Phosh!
@purism
Not only that, there support staff is top notch.
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.

I'm still just trying to get mms to work. I can send but I still don't receive.
@Secftblgirl
And that is why voting is important. You never know when you will be the deciding voice.

I am a month and a half away from a full year. There was a two week span where I had to go back to the android because the modem stopped working and I had to order a new main board.
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!
@jameshjacksonjr
probably way too much.
I tell people all the time that dead cow is my favorite food and dead pig is my favorite condiment.
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/
