The announcement that the DEA was authorized to conduct covert surveillance on protestors got me thinking about how one could protect oneself against that kind of mass surveillance. In this post I give a quick overview of Stingray technology, the implications of its use at a protest, how aerial stingrays (“dirtboxes”) extends its mass-surveillance capabilities, and how the Librem 5’s hardware kill switches give you control over where, when and how you are surveilled.
@jameshjacksonjr i love the idea of a pocket PC, but i think i have enough devices coming my way this year. This one seems very special!

1. Buy medication I never have bought or even searched for before at local pharmacy w/ credit card
2. Go to car, decide to test #Librem5 cellular by visiting my account on mobile.twitter.com
3. Immediately see ad for type of medication I bought!
No location tracking possible on this Librem 5 (used browser, not native twitter app), so either a crazy coincidence, or near-real-time reporting between CVS and #adtech w/ linking between my name, card, and twitter account.
@sailfishosnews that phone is 81% screen and I like it!

Supplying the Demand - An update on Librem 5 shipping https://puri.sm/posts/supplying-the-demand/ #Purism #Librem5
@amgine Woo! I am excited to see your little farm is making progress! No more "crashing and burning" hehe!
@gbryant correction for the last two podcast, L5's m.2 slots are for communication m.2 cards. Sebastian Krzyszkowiak from @purism has commented that the m.2 slots are not usable for cards that do not use communications (with simcard and/or antenna).
Check out the two tables in "Form factors and keying" at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2
Love your show and podcast!

Mass surveillance around the world is growing. We have to fight for our right to privacy and freedom of speech! Here we explain how any backdoor would lessen security for all of us: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk
@thomasfuchs I grew up thinking that all the awesome stuff commodore did, like the laptop, was common place in mostly peoples basements. Even though that was not the case with my basement.
I have a family member that was a well known name within commodore.
