@lunduke And since we are getting political, I will just say that the single greatest evil in our world stems from when people try to use force and coercion (usually in the form of government) to bludgeon people who disagree with them into behaving in a way that conforms with the beliefs of the bludgeoner.

@lunduke I think that the three big taboo topics in our society are the three most important for us to have open discussion of: Money, religion, politics. But I already have plenty of reasons to dislike Microsoft. Them adapting any form of political correct hardline really just cements my disdain for them. The big three tech giants Google, Apple, and Microsoft have way too much power in our society, and they flex that power in dangerous ways - even when I agree with them, how they do it hurts.

As much as I prefer a non-Facebook social media platform, I think that librem.one is a bit clunky to use.

The war on freedom and personal security is astoundingly successful. Most people don't even realize that they have become complicit in being spied on. And most spying has gotten sophisticated enough that average tech consumers don't know how to stop it.

Our laws should all be built around sound principles. Next week we celebrate Independence Day in the US. Stories like this should remind us of why we are a country in the first place. People want Freedom.

I stumbled upon efforts to take old android devices and revitalize them with proper GNU/Linux installs. From what I can tell this could revitalize old devices and break the planned obsolesence model of smartphone developers. But the phone becomes basically a hacking toy at that point, not really useful as a phone yet. Is the hardware we use really being held back that much by the OS?

How the latest Purism commercial was made with entirely with GNU/Linux, Free Software, and Librem laptops.

Storyboarding, motion design, color grading, video editing... We do it all with Freedom in mind.

Is it just me, or is this kind of funky to use?

Curious to see how this librem.one thing works. i have hope for this company succeeding. Someone needs to be watching out for our privacy .
