Comparing the Librem 5 USA and PinePhone Beta by @amosbatto

#wire has made it into F-Droid finally. Might be a worthy competitor to Signal (no f-droid, thanks m0xie) and Telegram (FOSS version maintained by separate group long after the release; questionable encryption and not e2ee by default).

URGENT: Starting Dec. 1st, Russian ISPs have started blocking access to Tor. We've also learned that Roskomnadzor, the Russian gov't responsible for censorship, intends to block http://torproject.org.
We need your help NOW to fight censorship!

PSA: If you are using an Android phone, and you have Microsoft Teams installed, and you're not logged into Microsoft Teams on that phone: please uninstall it, or you won't be able to call 911!
No, I am not making this up: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-finally-knows-which-app-to-blame-for-androids-mysterious-cant-call-911-bug

I had only ever read about this and never tried it before, but now I can say with authority that this is the correct method and all others are wrong.

I wish there were more just plain winter songs not attached to a holiday. Like, maybe we can just admit that it's cold and dark and maybe that's reason enough to celebrate.

oh wow, firefox developer tools has a tool to simulate colour vision deficiency and contrast loss! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility_inspector/Simulation
Very handy!
@praveen @ehashman yeah, just have to add /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1, /dev/mmcblk0p1, etc, etc, and remember annoying incantations to mount when needed (remember to use lsblk to find which applies, comparing output before and after insertion, as dmesg is now not user applicable), and typing this all out makes me wonder how it's been 20 years and this all still sucks so much...
@gael concerning, too, is how the article hand-waves away similar privacy intrusions in the home with:
"But those devices are in your home, not always carried with you everywhere you go, and generally don’t have your most private information stored on them, like your phone does."
Somehow privacy in the home is less important?

I think nobody wants this alway-on smartphone camera, Qualcomm! 😡
@kyle "unique". Happy accidents can make something new and different. Or think of it as evolution of tartans where the genetic copy has subtle differences
@dthompson does it help if the elf was never alive and was a physical manifestation of a manufactured "tradition" that normalized in-home surveillance where the actor was protected from any direct interaction?
@martijnbraam can you touch type on the pinephone keyboard? Looks a lot like the old Psion keyboard which was surprisingly usable. That would be worth the chonk.
