Something that has surprised me over the few weeks I've had this #Librem5 phone is the rapid progress. Each week brings at least one big improvement. Case in point, yesterday's kernel update (should hit main repos in a few days) made a noticeable change in the phone's heat and touchscreen performance.

The Open Book Project - An Open Source E-Reader That's Free Of Corporate Restrictions

The Open Book Project has been designed and engineered from the ground up to be everything devices like the Amazon Kindle or Rakuten Kobo are not. There are no secrets inside the Open Book, no hidden chips designed to track and share your reading habits and preferences with a faceless corporation. With enough know-how, you could theoretically build and program your own Open Book from scratch, but as a result of winning the Take Flight With Feather contest, Digi-Key will be producing a small manufacturing run of the ereader, with pricing and availability still to be revealed. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e109ce55c96dc0a990ae80a818d3f8909af

I love the KDE Connect app for Android. It makes sending files, web pages, notifications, and even input back and forth from my phone to my lappy really easy.

But my pinephone is going to be another computer to KDE Connect, not a phone.

Hope someone's working on that angle.

Librem 5 calling Librem 5 just for fun.

"For me personally, Tor was a life changer, bringing me back to the Internet of my childhood by giving me just the slightest taste of freedom from being observed.”
