It's amazing to me how much software is already available on the Librem 5.

The power of Free and Open Source software (and Linux) at work. :)

This is among the reasons I never post pictures of my son. I understand and accept risks to my own identity, but I don't own his online identity--I'm merely a steward of it until he's an adult. I hope at that point I can hand it off to him untarnished and unexploited. #privacy
