Heads up: phosh-osk-stub moved out of #phosh's repo and to: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub as it acquired more and more cruft while debugging some (now fixed) touch input related issues in #gtk 4.
Mostly mentioning it here since some distros (such as #debian) used it in the past on architectures that had trouble building #rust to fulfill session dependencies (which is not an issue anymore nowadays) so it can safely be dropped.

"Tech companies do not hold all of the power. As people become more aware of how their data is used and abused, and realize the power they have to change it, we have an opportunity to build a future with technology that protects people’s privacy instead of exploits it." says Purism's CSO, @kyle. What do you think?

Is privacy invasion as inevitable as death and taxes? We have an opportunity to build a future with technology that protects people’s privacy instead of exploits it. Read the latest thought piece by@kyle at https://puri.sm/posts/about-face-irs-backtracks-on-biometrics-after-backlash/
There was such a #privacy backlash against the IRS biometrics requirement that the IRS is changing policy. Imagine what would happen if enough people felt the same way about the companies that do far worse.

Booting a image from an SD card on a #librem5. In this case #postmarketos.
Got to play again with some work in progress code made by #librem5 developers. In this case a u-boot image that allows the #librem5 to boot from the SD cacrd. It can boot from the SD directly, but the video first I booted the #pureos image in the eMMC and then rebooted and booted #postmarketos from the SD card. Credits to the #librem5 devs and to @craftyguy for making the #pmos image for the SD card to test this :D
