We believe people should have secure devices that protect them rather than exploit them. To that purpose, we provide everything you need in a convenient hardware and software product. We offer high-quality hardware and software with a focus on privacy, security, and freedom. If you want to live a digital life, avoiding Google, here are our suggestions. https://puri.sm/pages/alternatives-to-google-services/

#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!
