“It seems to me that a tiny minority of people on this planet have no bigger problems to solve for themselves, than to deal with rocket ships and immortality”. Not what you'd expect from a podcast on e-waste and the #RightToRepair. Have a listen 🎙️: https://frphn.co/62oBk
The latest changes to hit the #Librem5 staging repo have dramatically increased my quality of life. First, Chatty now can use the haptic motor so I get vibration notifications w/ messages. Second, the top menu bar now features quick access to more settings.
Getting started with the #Librem5. We've worked really hard on getting the first-use experience just right:

"This phone is about more than superficiality; it’s about giving its user total control over their data and their privacy." https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/09/librem-5-linux-phone-now-shipping A pure #privacy #foss #opensource #Linux #smartphone alternative to #apple #iphone and #google #android
"Selling a smartphone is a cutthroat business, and we've seen dozens of companies try and fail over the years. Purism didn't just survive long enough to ship a product—it survived in what is probably the hardest way possible, by building a non-Android phone with demands that all the hardware components use open code. Making it this far is an amazing accomplishment."
"The Librem 5 is unlike anything else on the market. Not only is it one of the only smartphones on Earth that doesn't ship with Android, a fork of Android, or iOS—Purism's commitment to 100% open software, with no binary blobs..." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/09/purisms-librem-5-phone-starts-shipping-a-fully-open-gnulinux-phone/ #linux #opensource #librem5 #smartphone #pureos #gnome
"The Librem 5 is, arguably, the first smartphone available that focuses on privacy and security because it does not exploit nor track the user’s digital footprint. The Librem 5 features, hardware kill switches, layered security protection, decentralized and IP-native communication, user-controlled sourced code, and hardware encryption." https://www.fosslinux.com/21079/long-anticipated-librem-5-linux-phones-start-shipping.htm #privacy #security #purism #librem5 #linux #smartphone
