We have a first "review" of the #Purism #Librem5 Birch:

#Librem5 backers in the Birch batch have started sharing unboxing photos https://azdle.net/2019/11/librem-5-unboxing/ (attached CC-BY 2.0) videos https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/55eece8c-2d6c-4da3-8c8c-895217d66e2a and positive early impressions https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/e2mqgb/i_have_my_librem_5_ama/ thank you to all our supporters for your patience and excitement 😀

@fsf Lists the Librem 5 in its Giving Guide https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/ethical-tech-giving-guide-freedom-is-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving The Purism Librem 5 cell phone is another exciting addition to the Giving Guide this year: we're giving it a tentative recommendation because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things for prioritizing user freedom and privacy. We also have evaluated and endorsed the operating system that the Librem 5 will run, the fully free PureOS, and the phone is designed for maximum privacy, security, and user freedom.

We are delighted to share that early yesterday we shipped the first #Librem5 Birch devices to backers https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-birch-shipping-announcement/

There are people who will tell you that the way things are is the way things have always been and will always be.

Don’t listen to these people.

The way things are is just raw material for the way things can be. And by your every action or inaction you help determine what that is.
