A Researcher Found a Bunch of Voting Machine Passwords Online
A little more than a week ago the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that it was going to forensically analyze computer equipment associated with part of the 2016 elections in North Carolina in association with questions about Russian hacking. The news prompted an information security researcher to announce last week that he’d found evidence of […]

Space Force Yes! Baby Nukes No! What Congress Is Sticking in the Pentagon Budget.
Congress completed its most significant step toward funding the Pentagon for the next year—and it only took close to 21 hours. By 6:53 a.m. this morning, when House Armed Services Committee Chair Adam Smith (D-Wash.) gaveled his panel out of session, members had resurrected President Trump’s beloved Space Force, blocked the Pentagon from using so-called […]

Elizabeth Warren Has a Plan for Winning the White House, and Right Now It’s Working
Elizabeth Warren is having what political reporters like to call “a moment.” This policy maven seeking the White House has risen to third place in the Real Clear Politics national polling average of Democratic voters, trailing frontrunner Joe Biden and second-placer Bernie Sanders but surpassing Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Better yet for Warren, she […]
Overheard office conversation:
"Disney owns the Muppets now."
"Disney owns everything!"
Couldn't help but think, "everything nobody needs".
A good reason not to slobber "based on" all over your product pages, when trying to establish an abstract infrastructure, is that the basis of some or all of your applications might change.

Source code should be Free.

Non- technical doesn't mean privacy unaware/uncaring. I view it as someone who doesn't know what services to turn to. The fact that you know Librem One is using existing software means you are already aware of routes to privacy. @LogicalDash@cybre.space @skynebula @purism
So it appears that the Yale Labs account is run by an ex-Purism colleague who might have sour grapes to sow. @skynebula

The Last Black Man in San Francisco’s Walking Tour of a Lost City
Around the bend of Bernal Heights Park, along the path they used to walk as teenagers, Joe Talbot and Jimmie Fails marveled at the scene before them: a trio of people contorting their bodies on yoga mats on an edge overlooking the stark high-rises of downtown San Francisco, the Salesforce Tower rising like a monstrous […]

I think their target audience for Librem One are non-technical, for which the "based on" probably wouldn't matter and might just give confusion.
As a developer, the only thing that matters is the adherence to the copyleft in the repository. If I want to brag on it, I can do that on my own.
@hypolite @LogicalDash@cybre.space @skynebula @purism
@shellkr@mstdn.io
You're right. Their website doesn't make the information easily available. I saw their apology statement somewhere, but they could easily put "based on" in more visible places. It's obvious in the repositories, but those are less public.
