I replaced my personal laptop with a Librem 5 and laptop dock for a week. Here are my impressions: puri.sm/posts/my-first-week-of

Just received my PinePhone today, and threw together a quick Unboxing and First Impressions. Any feedback would be welcome!

I don't have time to verify right now, but I hope this is true because it makes me happy.

I realize that the amazing success of the US was that it was the FOSS version of government. Federated and decentralized. The constant push to centralize everything to the federal government is the source of all its failures. Centralization fails in every field, not just software.

I have actually ordered both an @PINE64 #pinephone and @purism #librem5 and I'm planning on seeing what I can do to help improve the Linux mobile ecosystem when they one day arrive!

They will always be niche until one day maybe they won't, so I think it is worth trying. Having already spent years using only laptops sold with Linux installed, and forgoing my Mac, I haven't looked back. I know I'm a geek and happy to compile from source and fix stuff via CLI, but that's not as frequent now.

Maybe we can get refunds when we don't win the lottery or lose money at the casino also.

Rush Limbaugh was the greatest broadcaster in history. The man created an industry from nothing and in the process taught several generations of Americans about the virtues of freedom and liberty. He was a giant, irreplaceable, a legend who made this country immeasurably better

This is now. The best list is the ones that never had one.

@MountainJay
There are multiple "general" instances. I really like librem social as a general instance. If you sign up at librem.one, you get a mastodon instance and a matrix instance.

Decentralized and open source social media is the way forward, not a centralized duplicate of Twitter that rebrands itself as a free speech platform. Learn about the vulnerabilities of Parler and put that wisdom into the next product

I attached a USB-C hub to my laptop dock using a flattened IKEA bracket and some 3M tape. Now I can easily use it and see both screens from my lap. A bit hacky but it works.

@TitoTill
Matrix - specifically I use librem chat, but it is a matrix server, so if they decided to become to go evil, I can switch to another matrix server or host one myself.

@TitoTill
I've been avoiding signal simply because they are another centralized service. At this point, I don't trust centralized services that do not use open standards.

@mrman
For the next four years, anytime a Republican talks about a bill that they have put forth, the first question asked should be, why was this bill not put forth when Republicans were in charge.

@mrman
If they really believed this, the bill would have been introduced when there was a Republican president to sign it.
Right now, they are just virtue signaling to Republicans because they know anything that they actually do does not have a chance of success.
