PSA:
Flare is a third party #signal client designed to run on #MobileLinux
If you want to use #signal on #MobileLinux , are passionate about #foss and know #rust:
@schmiddionmobile would surely appreciate code contributions to fix some of the issues mentioned https://fosstodon.org/@julianfairfax/111113443939828891

Thanks to everyone working on the ecosystem (and by extension: a better world 🌈 )

I have been daily driving mine since February of this year. Before that, I daily drove the PPP for a year and before that I daily drove the PP for a year.
The #Librem5 was a major step up in quality and usability from day one. I loved my pinephones, but I don't think that I could go back to them.

@deedend @devrtz @purism I encourage everyone to try PureOS on the Librem 5 to judge daily usability of the Librem 5 and if it's "the time yet".
One shouldn't draw that conclusion by looking at other devices (running other distros).
A single missing one line line patch or broken driver can considerably mess up daily usability.

@purism @agx It runs so well on this! It never misses a frame! Whoever made the rendering of the top and bottom drawers, let them know they did a great job. Literally all other apps have choppy irregular low FPS, but the #Phosh UI is super smooth.
I always thought it would be too heavy, but nope. Not at all.

So my spouses iPhone has stopped receiving calls, and is seems that when she calls folks, it goes straight to voicemail. So naturally, I joined Apple's community Matrix channel and their devs helped to fix the problem.
No wait sorry, that's what I do with @purism when my #librem5 has issues (which for the record, it makes and receives calls/SMS/MMS just fine).
What will likely happen is a perfectly good phone goes in the trash because of some software bug.
@dos did play around with this a couple of months back:
@devrtz linked some here:

We're talking basically from bootloader, kernel drivers all the way up in userspace, be that wayland protocol bits for input, libhandy/libadwaita, work on invidivual applications and packaging in #Debian and #design work in #GNOME
If you take all of that into account the equation changes quite a bit!
Also: It's hard to actually get manufacturers to talk to you (and not ignore your emails) when you're a small fish in the sea!
3/3
However you might want to consider some additional factors:
Our software developers write #FOSS software and very much like to feed themselves and their families ;)
And while we fortunely build on top of a lot of great projects like @gnome @debian (and lots of others)
**A LOT** of work still had to be done and all of that is being done in the open. Our developers try hard to do the right thing™ and upstream everything.
2/N
Sure, it is a lot of money and we understand how one might come to this conclusion when **only** looking at the hardware specs.
1/N
You might also find it fun that you can switch to a different tty.
@devrtz had to do some last-minute fixing of his #Librem5 before giving a presentation at #DebConf23 😎 a couple of days ago

Breaking the phone you plan to demo with is always fun.
Fixing it, even more so!
Just need a keyboard and run 1 command.
2 hours to go https://debconf23.debconf.org/talks/61-the-year-of-linux-on-desktopwmobile/
I'm a bit concerned about the frequent power losses at the hotel though :D
I'll add image descriptions later, need to work on my slides :P
and need to go for a swim!
This is very exciting!
Thanks to everyone working on #ReproducibleBuilds
We very much need need this!

Verifying #ReproducibleBuilds of packages actually in #Debian ... is not exactly a new thing, but is harder than it ought to be, because you need to rebuild with the exact same packages that the original build was built with, and snapshot.debian.org is less than entirely reliable...
So I tried rebuilding packages recently built on buildd.debian.org and it was reasonably successful.
Long-term we will still need some sort of snapshot-like functionality...

We just reached the 14 million milestone of active Fediverse users.
Not a single ad displayed.
Not a single algorithm suggestion.
Nobody pushing hate speech.
Happy milestone, #Fediverse !
Running MM with --debug, invoking `mmcli -G DEBUG` and grabbing some logs that way could perhaps help to close https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/253
