“Activists and tech critics sometimes use the word complicit when talking about companies that look the other way when their inventions are causing harm. Assistive might be more accurate. Providing database and web services—even just email—to a cruel immigration regime assists in the cruelty.”

#MrRobot and Elliot are back for their final season! After using ProtonMail in seasons 1 and 3, we'd like to suggest our Android app with multi-account support for season 4. It's the perfect tool for Elliot's multiple personalities.

Google in 2010: We know what you're thinking about.

Google in 2019: We're all about privacy now.

Installing and running the complete, unmodified LibreOffice on the #Purism #Librem5 #Linux #smartphone

“Platforms *are* societies of intertwined people and machines. There is no such thing as “online life” versus “real life.” We give massive ground if we pretend that these companies are simply having an “effect” or “impact” on some separate society.”

What madness is this?!

Installing the complete, unmodified LibreOffice right on a Librem 5?!??

This can't work... can it?

Well. LibreOffice successfully installed on the Librem 5!

But... I mean... It won't actually run.

... will it?

Holy smokes.

LibreOffice runs on the Librem 5!

AND IT WORKS.

Saving files, opening files, typing... the UI is a bit cramped (it's a desktop app on a phone)... but hot-diggity! It works!

I love #Linux. I fell asleep reading about the sudo security flaw, and woke up this morning with the patch ready to install! #opensource goodness!

Time to install some more software on my Librem 5.

This is fun. :)

It's easy to stop such spying: Use Tutanota. 😉
