It's hard to believe it's been a year since I replaced my personal computer with a #Librem5 and laptop dock. In this post I talk about my impressions, the docks I've tried, and using my Librem 5 as a tablet. https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-year-of-librem-5-convergence/

Matrix is seeing significant uptake in Ukraine 🇺🇦, as covered by @politico@twitter.com on Thursday: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-tech/2022/03/02/biden-pushes-congress-on-privacy-in-sotu-00013101.

#FirefoxESR on #PureOS on the #Librem5 has (finally) been updated to 91.6. This renders the installed firefox-esr-mobile-config package non-working, but while we're waiting for an update to land, you can (assuming you have git and build-essential installed) just do the following:
`git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox`
`cd mobile-config-firefox`
`make`
`sudo make install`.

Firefox may need one (or more) restart, but after that it should look like in my photo:

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 ^^"
