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."

I'm looking for help with QA reviews for changes by the #Debian Janitor. If you're interested in helping out, please join this team on salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/janitor-team/qa-reviewers

The tweet with the misinformation got shared 1395 times, my response 85 times...

Mastodon does not store passwords in plain text. This is trivial to confirm as Mastodon is an open-source project. We use the bcrypt algorithm for one-way hashing of passwords. I can't believe someone is spreading misinformation about something so trivial to debunk.

Thanks to work of @notmart and @AleixPol , we now have the window thumbnails in task switcher of Plasma Mobile, powered by #pipewire.

#LineageOS will soon be including the #seedvault backup utility.

Will make it easier for folks to move between operating systems that use it. Maybe try out the new wave of privacy/security focused #AOSP / #Android based OSs #GrapheneOS #CalyxOS

Programming in 2020:

Can't wait to boot up my APPLE to open up my MICROSOFT text editor and GOOGLE for solutions to FACEBOOK's technical debt in my MICROSOFT repository so I can deploy to AMAZON and I'll pay GOOGLE and FACEBOOK for the privilege of getting site traffic to show my visitors ads.

Specify Form-Factors in Your Librem 5 Apps

"As a user you also want to know which applications are relevant to run at a given time, so Phosh will let you run desktop-only applications only when the phone is docked."

@Electron I'm blaming individuals who target *their* blame at the volunteers who produce high-quality software for them FOR FREE rather than at the actual systemic problems that YOU BROUGHT UP

FUCK

@sir I say this constantly. When you build or buy a computer you need to buy parts that work with the software you want to use. Yes, it all works with Windows and you don't have to think if you use Windows. No, that's not fair, but you still have to use supported hardware.

Anyone who complains about Nvidia issues on Wayland (or Linux in general!) has a moral obligation to boycott their business. Wayland developers have told you exactly why Nvidia is not supported, and who is to blame. Harassing Wayland devs because they have a name and a face you can harass, rather than boycotting the faceless multi-billion dollar company who is responsible, makes that person an asshole and a shitty consumer.

Nvidia is the one who deliberately engineers cryptographic solutions to subvert the free software driver. Nvidia is the one who refuses to collaborate with the community on standardization. Nvidia is the ONLY GRAPHICS VENDOR WHICH IS NOT UPSTREAM.

If you spent $1,000 on a GPU which became a brick when you tried to use Wayland on it, that's on YOU. Not on Wayland. Letting your confirmation bias protect your ego from the possibility that you made a mistake and turning that feeling into harassing FOSS developers and spreading misinformation about their work is FUCKED UP and needs to stop.

It's really cool that SourceHut users are fast to collaborate on new open standards and put together new implementations for them quickly. Gemini and BARE both have a dozen related projects on SourceHut and I just saw a new standard pop up last week and four implementations are already up
