It's been so difficult to keep quiet about Librem 5 USA! It's a Librem 5 phone with electronics fabricated in the US like our Librem Key and devkit. As I mention in the post, our goal is to shrink our #supplychain and directly oversee as much of the process as possible. #Librem5USA
@lunduke thank you for the time you spent with us Bryan. All the best for you and your family. Looking forward to more Lunduke Show 😀
@fsf Lists the Librem 5 in its Giving Guide https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/ethical-tech-giving-guide-freedom-is-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving The Purism Librem 5 cell phone is another exciting addition to the Giving Guide this year: we're giving it a tentative recommendation because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things for prioritizing user freedom and privacy. We also have evaluated and endorsed the operating system that the Librem 5 will run, the fully free PureOS, and the phone is designed for maximum privacy, security, and user freedom.
@credmp We are following it closely and working with the same team at PIA, Librem Tunnel will always be zero knowledge, so whatever path gets us there (host it ourselves as previously, or confirming contractual obligations about zero knowledge).
@credmp I am cautiously optimistic about the PIA merger, since the policies are not changing. But it does highlight the potential issue whenever there is a change in control where policies could change. (And by the way is a reason I formed Purism as a SPC, our policies are enshrined in our Articles of Incorporation).
This opt-in requirement is critical, and the precise thing tech orgs successfully lobbied to remove from the CCPA:
"As a first step, governments must enact laws to ensure companies including Google and Facebook are prevented from making access to their service conditional on individuals “consenting” to the collection, processing or sharing of their personal data for marketing or advertising."

We've emailed all Librem 5 backers with the batch they are most likely to be in https://puri.sm/posts/what-librem-5-batch-am-i-in/ #Purism #Librem5
A week ago Unbox Therapy featured the Librem 13 v4 on their channel https://youtu.be/hVcJgCvFuWo We had no idea they were going to do the review and were so happy that both Lewis and Willy found it "Simple, Clean. The most secure experience you can have." If you haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, which is nearly on 2.4m views, we've got a summary of highlights for you https://puri.sm/posts/the-librem-13-reviewed-by-unbox-therapy/ #Purism #Librem #Librem13 #PureOS #Linux #linuxLaptop
A lot of uncommon questions asked by Computer America on yesterday's show, 60 minutes that went remarkably fast (for me): Direct:

Many people don't know that @purism offers an anti-interdiction service for laptop orders. In this post I describe what the service is and some of the measures we put in place, including some new ones based on our PureBoot tamper-evident boot process.

Somebody gets it; the power and freedom of the Librem 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnbqjNvpupI
Thanks for sharing your ideas David (hackersgame)
I find task switching on the #Librem5 (PureOS) really interesting.
The launcher and the switcher are the *same* view.
No apps are running: the grid of installed apps takes up the full view.
With apps are running: the top half becomes a row of the apps you can swipe through.
