Purism releases the STEP file for the Librem 5, a 3D model file with information about the Linux smartphone's mechanical components. It's not enough to build your own, but could aid in repair or third-party mods. https://buff.ly/47D2PhW #Librem5 #Purism #LinuxSmartphones

Mastodon proves that human-driven curation is superior to algorithmic curation in every single scenario.

The Tildeverse is a minimalistic community-driven Internet experience without the commercial bloatware

"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using #darktable and about 30 seconds of processing.

If you're using #phosh in docked mode a lot and (like me) play videos while doing other things then upcoming changes in #phoc to have apps always-on-top and keybindings to move windows into screen corners might be helpful:

I found yesterday that hundreds of 2D Artist Magazine where uploaded to the Internet Archive, and I really enjoy browsing them for the quality tutorials, interviews and amazing artist portfolios. I thought some of you here might like it as well:

To mark the end of our 2023 campaign, we wanted to highlight the magnificent illustrations that @davidrevoy has produced for us!

So we've put together some wallpapers (PC and mobile) featuring the mascots who have been with us for 7 weeks, for you to download and share freely!
