Tell your reps to reject the EARN IT Act. It would be used to undermine encryption, and it violates the Constitution’s protections for free speech and privacy.

The Wolven Storm — a Witcher song cover
With the #coronavirus stay-at-home order, my family can't get out to the gym. So my teenage sons and I broke out the old weight bench. Not quite the same, but not bad 😀
I'm lucky, in that I can work from home. I feel sorry for those who cannot go to their jobs, yet cannot work remotely. It has to be frustrating. I hope the government comes through to help those who are being kept from work.
Make no mistake: the EARN IT Act is a vehicle to undermine end-to-end encryption.

Life is interesting right now... I am working from home. School is cancelled, or being held remotely (depending on the capabilities of the school system). Mass is cancelled for the foreseeable future. Restaurants and bars are closed.
Be careful and stay safe. Be very careful to not spread this to the elderly especially.

It looks like the latest #Librem5 kernel update reduced active power consumption by another 100-140mA based on my own measurements. I hear there are a lot more improvements in the pipeline once we switch from 5.3 to the 5.6 kernel.
The power of desktop #Firefox in your pocket with the #Librem5 https://puri.sm/posts/desktop-firefox-in-your-pocket-with-the-librem-5/ #mozilla #Linux #GNOME #PureOS #phosh #freeyourphone
Getting started with the #Librem5. We've worked really hard on getting the first-use experience just right:

Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aQp3twe7D4
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.
