I will most definitely do business with purism again. My #Librem5 is the best phone that I have ever owned. Sure, I was frustrated by the long wait, but I also understand that when I pre-order a device that hasn't been built yet, I am taking a risk. It took longer than what I liked, but the risk was worth it.
And again, if you can receive the device that you pre-ordered, it is not a scam.

@JayLittle @omglinux
I was guessing that they only sold about 5000 phones, if the 600 is correct and is 10%, then they actually sold closer to 6000. Regardless, if you ordered a phone, then you can get the phone. That is not a scam. Yes, it took right at 4 years for me to receive mine. Yes, they, several times misrepresented how close they were to being ready. There are a lot of legitimate things that can be said about the Librem5, scam just isn't one of them.

@JayLittle @omglinux
I don't know where you got your 600 number from, however according to their website, if you have ordered a phone and have an order number, then the phone is ready to ship. You probably will not be able to get the refund, but you can definitely get the phone.
Poor customer service, absolutely. Scam, no.

Their phones weren't actually a scam, I am typing this from one. And thet seem to have learned a lesson from the phones because in the case of the tablet, there was never a pre-order option, they are available now.

I am not associated with purism, but they have a history of only using open hardware, I doubt that will change now.

No, I hadn't really given it much thought. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized why.

@talia_christine
You say that as if there are no women in the Republican Party.
You should probably try visiting a red state sometime. You will find that not only are there women in the republican party in those states, but they actually choose to be there.

I was discussing my #librem5 with a friend today. He was asking several questions about it. One question that he asked was about spam calls. It wasn't until he asked the question that I realized that I do not get near the amount of spam calls that I used to get.
I have been using #mobilelinux for nearly three years now. Could it be that not having a phone that constantly leaked data has caused me to slowly fall off the spam call lists? Has any other #mobilelinux users noticed this?

@realcaseyrollins
Yeah, cause he has never dominated in a debate before.

@garyackerman
Nope, if I received news today of Biden's death by telegraph, I would probably think it was a hoax.
