@purism made it!
Today I looked for a online radio application for my notebook and found #shortwave.
Looking at its homepage I've been surprised by the information that it is using #libhandy and compatible with the #Librem5.
Now listening to #radioparadise happily. Nice application!

A lot of software developers are rather myopically targeted at a specific software technology. This is a great thing, if you have a known need for that software technology in your project, but it can become a roadblock for moving beyond that technology. The roadblock is much more pronounced if the need is to move to a new abstraction level. Software developers are uncomfortable with step changes. Most programming learning begins with a 3GL and it tends to stick.
Software metrics is the only thing that can save the world from the continuous avalanche of bad software, but most software developers are not interested in (afraid of?) software metrics. They can move you out of your comfort zone just as easily as a new language or development method, but they are the only real path to choosing the best language/development method/tools for your specific project.

Yes, this is an important social and environmental change I want to see. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ourchangingworld/audio/2018765320/cutting-the-grass-cut-it-out And, best thing about it, it's all about changing expectations, not extra effort. This involves *less* effort to do the right thing.
Not every dollar police spend on surveillance tech comes straight from police budgets. There are other troubling and less transparent ways police find money to buy equipment:

OnionShare is a free, cross-platform and open-source tool that utilizes the Tor network to share files securely and anonymously
You might have already come across a lot of online services to share files securely but it may not be completely anonymous.
Also, you do have to rely on a centralized service to share your files and if the service decides to shut down like Firefox Send — you can’t really depend on it to safely share files all the time.
All things considered, OnionShare is an amazing open-source tool that lets you share files using the Tor Onion service. It should be an amazing alternative to all the cloud file sharing services.

"As a result (of union run retraining programs), Sweden has the best re-employment rates in the developed world – about 90% of laid-off workers are back in work within a year, according to the OECD. This is drastically higher than France and Portugal, the OECD points out, which only place about 30% of workers within the year."
