"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

Hello to the community! If you are LGBTQ or otherwise marginalized by virtue of your intersectional standpoint and are in need of HOUSING:
I have some knowledge in how the housing system works in the United States regarding low-income housing, and I can help point you towards local resources. It's not much, and there's no guarantee there are resources available, but oftentimes there are and they're just a little hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for.
Anyway, let me know!
The first Librem 5 smartphones are shipping https://puri.sm/posts/first-librem-5-smartphones-are-shipping/ “This is a big moment, not just for us as a company, but for everyone concerned about issues of privacy, security, and user freedom. The Librem 5 represents years of work, building the software and hardware required to make this phone a reality.” - Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of #Purism #Librem5 #Librem5Aspen #Linux #LinuxPhone #LinuxMobile #GNOME #FOSS
Here is a privacy thing that seems strange to me.
I buy something from an online store. The connection is https. Secure server. We protect your privacy, says the website. Great!
Once I've placed my order, they send complete details of my order to me by regular email. Unencrypted. The confirmation email includes my name, address, payment method, and the list of what I bought.
How is that protecting my privacy, ffs? And there is no way to opt out of this.
So like, please take this climate strike seriously. If you wouldn't cross a pocket line, don't buy things you don't need. Don't go out to events. Stop turning the gears of capitalism, as best you can, for a week.
I mean what else can you do, y'know? Otherwise you're declining an opportunity to resist oppression to collaborate with it, and damn you'd better have a good reason for that.
