I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

The German government has its own official Mastodon server with a number of accounts you can follow:

➡️ social.bund.de/explore (in German)

Germany's public digital portal is at bund.de

You can now read and engage with news and information about 🇪🇺 EU policies, in a privacy-focused environment and with no transfer of data outside the EU.

I plan to merge these mobile changes back to the original repo (source.puri.sm/pureos/packages) once it gets a bit more testing so the same script can work on desktop and mobile.

Someone in the mobile Linux community modified my Librem Key USB smart card LUKS unlock script to also work for mobile. I tweaked it so now it can also use the built-in Librem 5 smart card reader. Now I have 2FA disk unlock on my Librem 5!

É uma pena Opera não ser open source. É um browser que sempre me impressionou pela inovação.

In an interesting turn of events today, my #librem5 is being used to test why my siblings iPhones cannot make phone calls.

Sadly @purism probably can't do much to help Apple products, as they are pretty good with technical troubleshooting otherwise!

Sim, usamos muito o birdsite, mas não perdemos uma oportunidade para promover o nosso cantinho aqui no Fediverse.

Something worth sharing is that we used @dino to coordinate the deployment for the first time. Normally we used Mumble but looks like dino @xmpp does a great job 😻
We did both video and audio with three people in omemo crypted room. Next week we have meetup with more people so will test how that works.

Btw. @dino why are the participant avatars grayed out?
