I love this! What I'm wondering is how much money do you need and how many people need to click "Hold my order" in order for me to get my Librem 5 phone this year 😜.

@silence
How does silence handle pairing between devices before starting end-to-end encryption?
Any plans to port to the linux phone software projects?
While the messages are being stored encrypted on one's device, how are the decryption keys stored?

@slisne
What kind of features are you using?

@slisne
It's cold, and dark, and it gets everywhere!

@beegrrl
From the pinephone wikipedia page

> Because no software development costs are incurred by Pine64, the PinePhone's selling price (US$149.99 for the basic model[26]) is lower compared to other Linux phones, notably the Librem 5 (US$749.99[27]),

I wish @purism had spent more effort in getting community members to share the SW development burden.

@yaaps@banana.dog
It's hard to find transparent pricing. The first place I contacted quoted only about 4x what I'm currently paying. Maybe the fact that I'm already on the lowest tier plan would suggest self-hosting.
@alcinnz @neauoire

Nothing says "We love open source" quite like "join our Discord channel".

Also... #Mattermost (open source self-hosted Discord alternative) is sponsoring #DigitalOcean #Hacktoberfest ...? That makes no sense.

@neauoire
Wow... I didn't know about this before. Time to #quitDigitalOcean?
Anybody got recommendations? I might just switch to self-hosting, but the power/internet isn't always reliable at my house.

@q
Exactly. I was (and still am) really hoping to transfer my Google voice number to some Librem One voice service, but seeing this makes me worry about the solvency of @purism .
Paying $35/month for unlimited with T-mobile, but maybe I'd consider this **if** my carrier starting sending me targetted ads. (Number porting is a must though, maintaining 2 phone numbers is hard enough)

@jameschip
It's marginally related to your toot I replied to.
The question was posed mostly for effect, and does not necessarily need an answer. If you were also curious, you could boost it.

@jameschip
Many use a google email address to create an account anywhere. Though I guess @sir would say you don't need an email address to form online friendships if you just use IRC.

@jameschip
Are there any mastodon/fediverse servers which don't require an email address to sign up?

@kline
You use google as your search engine. What did you expect?

@liam
eh
