A app de rastreamento de contactos holandesa foi lançada este Sábado.
Por lá a multa vai até 8 mil euros... para empregadores ou empresas que obriguem trabalhadores ou clientes a instalar a app ;)

One of the things I've been personally looking for on the #Librem5 was USSD support in Calls. No need to wait anymore, as it was recently implemented by Mohammed Sadiq just in time for the Evergreen release :) @purism #calls #gnome #mobile #gnu #linux

#phosh 0.6.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.6.0

Besides more fixes for docked mode, the most visible change is @exalm@floss.social 's work to close apps by swiping up. This needs #libhandy 1.0.2.

Companies House, the British registrar of newly formed companies, has forced a firm to rename itself from

""><SCRIPT SRC=HTTPS://MJT.XSS.HT> LTD

On the grounds that merely including the name of the company on a web-page (including the Companies House website) could trigger cross-site scripting attacks.

Auf dem Spielplatz gibts ein neues Schimpfwort:

The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/

Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

UK bureaucracy: please do everything online, but the website is a bit crap so you might have to call. In any case there's a 150% corona delay.

DE bureaucracy: we need you to call to make an appointment, then you need to come in person, then you might need to call or send a letter—flip a coin. No corona delay. What's online?

Another one, in landscape mode this time. @purism

I tried to run Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart from Flathub on my Librem 5. @purism

This is mostly bugfixes over 0.5.1 plus translations updates but also enables docked mode for tablets thanks (thanks to Arnaud)

#librem5 @purism #gnomeonmobile

@agx @purism aha, ok, now I tried putting amber-phone-staging in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and it works, now apt gives me phosh 0.5.1. Excellent. Thank you!

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.
