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.

In the 1970s, a San Antonio gay bar staged a unique protest against police harassment: a play.

Did you know that you can check out source code for things Purism works on (such as Librem One applications and bits relating to the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone) right from https://source.puri.sm?
Source code should be Free.
That's just how we roll.

It appears the single droplet is bullshit as well. Who told me there is no agenda here? ?!?

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.
@hypolite @LogicalDash@cybre.space @skynebula @purism
@shellkr@mstdn.io
They already took a stance against harassing other users, and have already acknowledged where their software originated. ...or are you just spreading FUD?

Rent Control Mainly Helps . . . the Affluent
Because I’m a neoliberal shill I’ve never been a big fan of rent control. I figure that if you want to help poor and working-class folks afford the rent in big cities, you should just let the market work normally and then give them money or vouchers or whatnot that they can use toward their […]

The United States Is Notoriously Bad at Counting Civilian Casualties. Its Allies Are Even Worse.
Since the Syrian civil war broke out in the summer of 2011, more than 500,000 people have been killed. Of that total, some untold number of children and other civilians have been killed by the American-led military coalition, which has fought ISIS in Syria and Iraq since 2014. The Pentagon has only claimed responsibility for […]
I thought FOSS stood for Free, Open Source, Software. Little did I know it was a branch of philosophy. (Somehow disconnected from logic.) :-D

Low vitamin K levels linked to mobility limitation and disability in older adults
Researchers evaluateD the association between biomarkers of vitamin K status and mobility limitation and disability, and found older adults with low levels of circulating vitamin K were more likely to develop these conditions.
@skynebula
Which ones? The only thing I've seen is that they failed to explicitly state the rebranding aspect. From what I've seen in the code I've looked at, everything seems pretty copyleft compliant.
