I am officially stepping down as the Director of Marketing for @purism for very personal reasons.
I remain a huge fan of Purism and the amazing work they're doing for both Freedom and privacy -- but this was a change I had to make for me and my family.
Survey. About Operating Systems and happiness and such. You can take it. It's anonymous. Part of an upcoming article and whatnot.

Interview with Adafruit founder, Limor Fried.
Read the interview (and watch/listen to the commentary version) for free right here:
@lunduke I'm looking for a little palmtop-style computer, with the ideals of 1- being able to run a rad operating system (DOS, FreeDOS, AmigaOS, maybe even Linux/*BSD) and 2- having some means of getting information off of it when I need to transfer data to my regular setup. I anticipate having to save up for it, but I'd like recommendations on what I should be looking for. I don't want a GUI (I'd mostly just be running wordgrinder and vim) & I anticipate not having a working network connection.
Just in case you missed any Lunduke-y articles from the last week. ;)

@lunduke, you maniacal maniac, you have absolutely changed my world view.
I tried going "unplugged" (I turned mobile data and wifi off on my phone, so I could only use it offline), at the suggestion of a previous video, and it was a great experience. The only people I interacted with were the people around me. And I very quickly felt more creative and productive. I recommend everyone to try it!

On one hand, tech companies violate our #privacy, capture massive amounts of data without consent, and process and categorize it w/ ruthless efficiency to ever-more-precisely target us with ads.

A week ago Unbox Therapy featured the Librem 13 v4 on their channel https://youtu.be/hVcJgCvFuWo We had no idea they were going to do the review and were so happy that both Lewis and Willy found it "Simple, Clean. The most secure experience you can have." If you haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, which is nearly on 2.4m views, we've got a summary of highlights for you https://puri.sm/posts/the-librem-13-reviewed-by-unbox-therapy/ #Purism #Librem #Librem13 #PureOS #Linux #linuxLaptop

Got Linux-y questions? Got Open Source-y questions?
Ask 'em! Right here! And they just *might* get covered on the next #LinuxThursday.
Could be technical questions. Could be historical. Could be completely theoretical! :)
