Joshua Crawford has moved @jlcrawf@librem.one

#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:

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 ^^"

Thank you to ReviewGeek for naming the Librem 14 the best Linux Laptop for Privacy in 2022💻

Chatty 0.6.0 is out, and with that, MMS Support on Phosh!

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.

Did you know that one of the ways Android and IOS reduce energy consumption is by using a unified system-level notification provider?
UnifiedPush is FOSS implementation of the same idea that could help projects such as #pinephone and #linuxphones in general by providing both a framework to reduce battery consumption and a more unified interface to code notifications on.

If you follow FOSS, would you please boost?

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!

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/

Find out how good you are at placing historical events in the right order with this cool new game based on Wikidata's data:

This is awesome!

Canon can't get enough toner chips, so it's telling customers how to defeat its DRM.

We're running a poll on our website to learn more about the #pinephone community. It is 9 questions long and shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to fill in.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

The first wave of EVs are old enough their batteries are starting to fail. People tend to repair old ICE cars, but at a $22k price tag to replace batteries that will inevitably fail, it seems like older EVs will be thrown away instead of repaired. https://gizmodo.com/finnish-man-passes-on-paying-22-600-to-replace-his-tes-1848268874
