You've been tricked into giving up your most valuable asset https://nyti.ms/30cgPz5 #privacy #security #libremone #librem5

The lie is that everything happening today is okay because ten years ago, you clicked a button that said "I agree." But you didn't agree to the 600 page contract: none of us read it. You were agreeing you needed a job; agreeing you needed directions, email, or even just a friend.

"Feel free to use, study, modify, distribute and share free software. Happy #softwarefreedomday, and may the source be with you!"

Mass surveillance around the world is growing. We have to fight for our right to privacy and freedom of speech! Here we explain how any backdoor would lessen security for all of us: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

It is hard to think of a greater stamp of authenticity than the US government filing a lawsuit claiming your book is so truthful that it was literally against the law to write.

My copy of the Snowden memoir, Permanent Record arrived! Can't wait to dig into this tonight!

Edward @Snowden@twitter.com: “Surveillance is not now – nor has it ever been – about public safety. It's about power, it's about control, it's about influence. It's the ability to predict and to shape outcomes.”

We’ve published a Librem 5 Batch FAQ to answer the community's questions from last week's shipping announcement. We will update the FAQ regularly https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-batch-faq/ #purism #librem5

It's good to see the progress on the @Puri_sm Librem phone. We look forward to evaluating it for Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification. https://u.fsf.org/90 https://u.fsf.org/2wq

It has come to my attention that there are those on Mastodon who think that anyone who doesn't agree with their politics should be cast out of the federation.

Please stand up for Freedom of Speech.

True Freedom of Speech means you will have to deal with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you and will therefor come across views that either make you happy or extremly angry.

Communication is the key to making the world a better place and the only way that progress can be made.

If you lock people out becase they don't agree with you, you are only hurting those you claim to care about because those with extreme views will continue to speak, with the only difference being that no one will challenge them.

Arrogance is the biggest threat to our society.
