A reprise of my #librem5 benchmark to add the #pinephone

My October toots about it for context:
1) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989138328111860
2) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989155078072644
3) https://social.librem.one/@someunexpectedsparks/104989174678396616

tl;dr – this is based on the build times of a C++ project I’m puttering around with

No real news. The L5 is about twice as fast as the pinephone in this case. Neither is actually fast. My desktop’s best time is 2.3 seconds compared to the L5’s 36

The #librem5 wishing the #pinephone a merry Christmas and a happy GNU year, by SMS from the command-line. 😃 PureOS and @postmarketOS both running #phosh. The script on the Librem 5 is using mmcli commands to send SMS messages. #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism #gnomeonmobile

With phoc being a phone compositor and touchscreen being a primary input device, mouse pointer handling has been a bit neglected - but it's going to change soon! Fixing some pointer-related bugs and adding quality of life improvements in #phoc :) #librem5 #mobile #gnome #gnu #linux #phosh @purism

The inconvenient truth is that there is no such thing as a backdoor that only lets the good guys in. The EU's resolution on encryption, released yesterday, could result in a net decrease of everyone's privacy and security: https://protonmail.com/blog/eu-attack-on-encryption/

Avoid "Advertiser ID" with the Librem 5

"Apple and Google profess to care about the privacy rights of their customers, but their operating systems tell a different story. iOS and Android both allow for pervasive tracking of users through Advertiser IDs."

Technology as it Should Be

"The power of control by Big-Tech in the app store is but a small example of exploitation of our digital lives. If you don’t control the software, the companies who wrote that software control you. You become a digital prisoner."
