Socialism would work if we powered it with perpetual motion machines.

The solution to big tech censorship is opting out.

Librem 5 Laptop Mode

"The Librem 5 can now change from factors easily. Connect it to a powered USB-C dock to enable desktop mode. Or connect it to a laptop dock to turn your phone into a fully working laptop."

Re @unseen1_unseen @99freemind Over dinner, my son suggested just telling Biden he won, set him up in a mock White House and put him on a reality show. I’d watch that! https://twitter.com/JulieMacCallum2/status/1323402816434671621 #Biden #WhiteHouse

Okay Fediverse, pick the next President of the United States. Citizenship not required; but vote like your life depends on it.

Foreshadowing, Why the Purism Logo is a Rectangle

"A logo carries meaning, it should be simple yet effective. The Purism logo; a simple rectangle; carries significant meaning and was foreshadowing what Purism is delivering."

What a time to be in journalism: Between Bobulinski and the Biden corruption scandal, rioting in our cities, a new Supreme Court justice’s first full day, and peace breaking out in the Middle East, has there ever been so much to *not* cover!?! https://twitter.com/AndrewCMcCarthy/status/1321419955657736200 #Biden #MiddleEast

One of the neatest tricks Big Tech ever pulled was convincing people that phones weren't general-purpose computers and should have different rules than laptops or desktops. These rules conveniently give the vendor more control.

Now these rules are moving to laptops and desktops.

Microsoft got in antitrust trouble for bundling IE for free w/ Windows to compete with Netscape.

Now imagine Microsoft controlled whether Netscape could be installed or updated on Windows, and blocked them, and you are closer to the current situation with phones.

The government in #Portugal is making a tracking phone app mandatory by law. Among other features, it forces geographic tracking on at all times. Expect similar things in other members of the #EU. A #Linux phone was never so necessary.

I ordered a #Librem5 from @Puri_sm over three years ago, but am still waiting. There aren't many alternatives, but reality is imposing itself. Hope the #Librem5 makes it on time.

Let’s go out to eat, 2020 style…



1. Arrive at restaurant, take mask off mirror (or out of glove compartment) where it hangs or lays every day when not in use.


2. Slip it on, trying not to ruin the hair do.


*MAGICAL ANTI-GERM BARRIER ENGAGE!!!*


3. Proceed into restaurant, opening door with same handle grabbed by 200 people so far today.


4. Hostess who touches her face and mask an average of three times per minute has immediate seating for your woke party of three. Walk past entire restaurant of unmasked people. It’s ok, they’re sitting.


5. Sit down.


*SEATED ANTI-GERM FORCE FIELD ENGAGE!!!*


6. Safely within your anti-germ force field, remove mask. Browse menu while making relaxed inhales of the same recirculated AC air previously inside the lungs of the 200 people that also grabbed the door handle.


7. Waitress, who touches her face and mask an average of three times per minute drops off drinks bare handed, which she touches her face and mask with three times per minute, on average.


8. Grab drink with your bare hand. Sip leisurely, secure in knowing you’re within your anti-germ force field of “seated-ness”.


9. Too many drinks. Need to pee. Don the magical anti-germ barrier mask as you leave your anti-germ force field of “seated-ness”.


10. Walk past 40 unmasked restaurant patrons. Open bathroom with same doorknob grabbed by 100 other people so far today.


11. Return to table past same 40 unmasked restaurant patrons.


12. Remove mask. Once again safe in your anti-germ force field of “seated-ness”. Waitress takes your sweaty drink glass with her bare hand which she touches her face and mask with an average of three times per minute, refills, hands back to you. You accept with your bare hand. Grab some bread and eat it. Same hand. Yum Yum.


13. Meal complete. Mask on. Walk past 40 unmasked patrons. Make full body contact with at least 4 people waiting at the hostess stand as you squeeze your way back to the door – no matter, they’re all also wearing their magical anti-germ barriers.


14. Grab exit handle, which you are now the 220th person of the day to touch. Eating out successful.


15. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that even after leaving the protection of your home and venturing out into the scary world of the public, you are essentially sterile thanks to your state approved methods of magical germ mitigation, THE MASK!
