This is exactly the kind of #privacy problem we are trying to solve with the Librem 5 on multiple fronts, hardware and software.

- Librem on FSF Ethical Tech Giving Guide
- Posted two jobs https://puri.sm/jobs/

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 😀

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

Data isn't gold, it's uranium. Companies stockpile and refine it because of the great power it creates. But the industry is largely unregulated and creates hazardous by-products. When it spills it's almost impossible to clean up and when it explodes it leaves a wasteland behind.

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.

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.
