made a last minute MNT Reform motherboard revision today, to accomodate for a 7cm long chonker of a LS1028A CPU/RAM upgrade module to be released at some point next year by https://rbz.es & us.

Just made my first mobile payment with my bank app straight from the Librem 5 - via Anbox. The last reason to occasionally boot an Android phone just went poof! :) #librem5 #pureos #mobile #gnu #linux #anbox

custom glass samples for MNT Reform trackpad arrived!

Thanks to @exalm@floss.social taking care of Webkit's packaging, Epiphany's GPU acceleration can now work on the #Librem5! Before (no acceleration) and after (GPU accelerated):

Librem 5 phone + USB keyboard + USB touchpad + Bluetooth speaker + HDMI screen + Firefox + YouTube video

"Anbox now runs on the Librem 5, getting you access to many additional free software apps that are packaged only for Android."

@purism And here's the #librem5 connected to a usb-c hub that has a keyboard/mouse connected via usb and driving the external screen via dp-alt-mode. Needs some hacks still but we're getting there:

Additionally, as part of this plan, we will develop a camera option/upgrade for MNT Reform.

Big news: NLnet/NGI0 PET will fund the development of two new open hardware processor modules compatible with MNT Reform: An NXP LS1028A module developed in partnership with RBZ Embedded Logics and an FPGA module for prototyping with open CPU designs:

3D Gaming on the Librem 5

This extensive and thoughtful post by a member of the #Librem5 community does a good job of explaining the past and present mobile Linux ecosystem and why Purism's approach with phosh makes strategic sense long-term. https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/advantages-of-phosh/

Hacked a thermal camera on the pogopins of the #pinephone :)
