Getting started with the #Librem5. We've worked really hard on getting the first-use experience just right:

A powerful thing about the #Librem5 running PureOS instead of a mobile-specific OS is that existing desktop apps run w/o porting to a new platform, some just need UI tweaks to fit on the screen. GNUcash works out of the box in landscape mode both without the toolbar at default scaling and with the toolbar scaled 1.5x.

I was interviewed for a DW News article on how @purism is taking on tech giants with the #Librem5 #privacy-focused smartphone.

Thanks to all the #FreeSoftware contributors out there, who make sure that everybody around the universe can use, study, share, and improve the software #ilovefs

The Purism community is inspiring 🚀

Mobile phones were not designed for privacy and security. Not only do they do a poor job of protecting your communications, they also expose you to new kinds of surveillance risks—especially location tracking. https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/problem-mobile-phones

After adding proximity sensor-support to #iio-sensor-proxy (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/merge_requests/298) and adding runtime-pm support for the chip used in the #librem5 (and it's devkit) (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/cover.1580721204.git.agx@sigxcpu.org/) we can now wire it up to #phosh to fade the screen and prevent keyboard input:

This doesn't bode well for any legislation that would curb #privacy abuses by marketing firms. If Feds bypass 4th amendment using adtech, regulating that industry could trigger "going dark" claims like w/ e2e encryption.

No matter how many copyright infringement suits you file, you have to be able to prove each one. Copyright troll Strike 3 Holdings ordered to pay $47,777 when it couldn't. https://torrentfreak.com/retired-police-officer-wins-47777-judgment-against-copyright-troll-200205/

Finally tried the postmarketOS image with Plasma Mobile on my Librem 5 Birch! It's booting from an USB drive :D

James 4:8 - Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double-minded.
