I am seriously blown away by how much of the @gnome software works on the smaller, touch-centric screen of the #Librem5.

The work of the GNOME team, the @purism crew, and so many independent developers that are making this happen... truly impressive.

All of you rule.

It's amazing to me how much software is already available on the Librem 5.

- Some of it optimized for touch screens.
- Some partially optimized.
- Some not yet optimized, but functional.

The power of Free and Open Source software (and Linux) at work. :)

Apple are in a bit of trouble in Norway because of their Airpods: https://www.tek.no/artikler/mange-airpods-dor-etter-to-tre-ar-bor-vare-fem-ar-sier-forbrukertilsynet/476234

In Norway products are basically legally separated into two categories. Things that should last two years, and things that should last five years. Both assuming regular use of course.

Batteries typically fall in the two year category, but audio devices fall in the five year category since they should easily survive five years if you take proper care of them.

But the super tiny batteries in the Airpods essentially cause them to die after about 2-3 years. And are impossible to replace without cutting open the Airpods.

So in Norway a five year warranty is legally mandated and you're kind of considered a scam if you try to sell a product that you never thought would live two or five years in the first place.

Of course I'm massively simplifying and laws are more confusing than this.

But basically, The Norwegian Consumer Council claims Apple's products are bad and don't uphold these laws.

In the end they likely want Apple to somehow make the batteries survive 5 years while providing promised battery life. Or make sure they survive at least 2 years and that users can replace the batteries themselves when they do fail without any damage to Airpods in the process. Last option is to git out with their Airpods.

Well. LibreOffice successfully installed on the Librem 5!

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

... will it?
