Obvious Firefox is the answer, but if you need a different engine at times, at least use a Debian-based Chromium...
From the latest upload to sid:
"disable/screen-ai-blob.patch: add patch to not register the ScreenAI component. Previously, if you opened a PDF and clicked "open in reader mode", it would download a binary blob to ~/.config/chromium/screen_ai/, and do OCR stuff (and who knows what else) in that opaque blob without warning you. We, uh, don't want that."

getting impatient for #pureos #crimson, so I went ahead and installed #mobian Trixie on my #librem5 .
First impressions: it's nice that the Software application ACTUALLY WORKS. And it's Trixie so packages are quite up to date...
A few PureOS niceties are missing, eg the Usage app lacks the Thermals tab. No biggie here. Can't remember anything else off the top of my head.
I also went and tried out Plasma Mobile but it's a lot less polished than Phosh; easy to switch back and forth though!

#git commit messages are not only a service to your fellow developers, they're also a service to your future self asking: "Why exactly did I change that back then?" (when the forge or gitlab instance with all the merge requests and discussions might be long gone).
@bhyoram I've often told my friends - if a thief gets a hold of my Librem 5 (or PinePhone, in earlier days) I have 2 layers of security:
1) LUKS
2) if they get past that, no one knows what to do with it
And a bonus:
3) it can't do much anyway so the thief can't do much harm to my life! 😂

@its@allthingstech.social Awesome!
@stujr@bsd.cafe @purism sadly they don't (if you check their forums there's plenty of people trying to design 3d-printable cases though but I haven't found any appealing ones myself).
viascreens.com does however sell really nice screen protectors.
@stujr@bsd.cafe yeah I was impressed as well. Keep in mind though, not all pics come our like that!

I've been using my #Librem5 with Purism's USB-C hub, and it's been working seamlessly with my existing office environment. It's been a good portable/inexpensive alternative to the LapDock while they're on backorder.
If anyone is wondering: the pic was not edited; every setting in #millipixels was on auto except for focus. Not post processing beyond what is done by the default script. And no, not a pics come out this good!!

That said, you don't need huge powerful but complex tools like #darktable or #rawtherapee to make your photos look better. Imagine a simple to use app that lets you do basic stuff on the phone, like white balance or contrast correction, which could then take its time exporting at full res with all the heavy noise reduction algos without annoying the user while taking photos.
Does that sound like something you'd like to work on? 😁

I was just sitting there minding my own business, watching the kids football game IFK Bergshamra - IF Brommapojkarna 6 earlier today, when suddenly this little fellow being landed on my knee. #dragonfly #trollslända #ShotOnLibrem5
hello little guy! Thanks for calmly posing and letting me move my #librem5 within just a few cm!
Hah, indeed:

"You know why people hate the tech industry?
Because they’ve wedged themselves into everything (regardless of how much sense it makes), and made it suck more, in pursuit of glorious advertising profits."
@dantalion cool! Not affiliated in any way, just manage to snag a few and they fit perfectly.
Now if we could get actual protective cases... So far I've avoided 3d-printing any of them because they all seem too bulky/ugly, so I'll probably just continue going caseless (it has enough bulk/weight already haha)
Rant: I am seriously sick of the "digital transformation" of everything. It's making every service, every form, every registration, WORSE, rather than improving processes that have been honed over decades and were working well up until now.
Can we undo this?!
