My personal Librem 5 arrives tomorrow, dudes and dudettes! What's the first piece of software I should install on it?

And, yes, I'll post pictures and video and whatnot. :)

Microsoft, GitHub take firm political stances, vilifies those that disagree.

... should Tech companies / organizations take political stances outside of their core mission?

Gonna go off the Fediverse (and other social media and whatnot) starting at sundown for Yom Kippur. Be back online a day later.

Got two short episodes scheduled to release while I'm away. Nothing crazy. Just some fun stuff.

Wish me luck wrangling the kids. :)

What's the most important thing that happened today?

To kick off , I thought I'd do a daily word that has a positive social meaning. Today's word is: companionable. It means friendly and sociable. Nice and simple, someone who's easy to get along with.

word of the day number 2: amicable. An amicable person is friendly, peaceable, and good natured.

@lunduke I'm on board! This is an excellent time for such a "detox", as I'm sure a lot of us are still moving toward open social platforms like mastodon, which is a great time to set a tone for our presences. Still going to try across all platforms, though!

@lunduke I'm actually a little bit scared. I've never seen you be anything but nice. Are you going to show the world that it is actually possible to be "too nice"?

> begins at sundown.

I love it, very Jewish.

"And there was evening and morning, the start of Nicetober."

Buckle up for some serious positivity, boys and girls.

begins at sundown.

‪Heading into Rosh Hashanah services with 3 kids. Wish me luck. ;)‬

My run through of the Librem 5 privacy and security-focussed mobile phone... What a joy to finally have it in my hands! My congratulations to the extraordinary team at Purism.

Ahead of , I am going to be un-following any accounts that post, like, or re-tweet any content that is:

- Mean-spirited
- Dehumanizing
- Vilifying
- Vulgar

Doesn't mean I don't like you. Doesn't mean you're not an amazing person. I just want to avoid that content.

On that same note, if you are going to be participating in , let me know! I'd love to follow (and amplify) more folks spreading love and kindness!

"The Librem 5 is unlike anything else on the market. Not only is it one of the only smartphones on Earth that doesn't ship with Android, a fork of Android, or iOS—Purism's commitment to 100% open software, with no binary blobs..." arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/0

"The Librem 5 is, arguably, the first smartphone available that focuses on privacy and security because it does not exploit nor track the user’s digital footprint. The Librem 5 features, hardware kill switches, layered security protection, decentralized and IP-native communication, user-controlled sourced code, and hardware encryption." fosslinux.com/21079/long-antic
