#PinePhone: Do you really want #Linux phones
So I spent the last few hours on taking pictures of cats with the rear camera of my Librem 5. Yep, that's my job now. #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile #cat #caturday
All credit for the camera support goes to Dorota, Martin and Angus: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/44#note_148408 @merge @purism

I really love this application! I ditched #Adobe two years ago and I never looked back!

OpenPGP in Your Pocket
"Access to the smart card reader on the Librem 5 is something we at Purism have been looking forward to for a long time. That day is finally here..."
Lukas Wagner soll im Unterrricht MS Teams nutzen. Er wehrt sich. Eine Geschichte von einem langen Weg. Hut ab für soviel Durchhaltevermögen!
Being outside at this whether is only funny when you know you will be back home in a view hours! 😄
Again edited with #rawtherapee!
I really love this #opensoure RAW converter.

I haven't made an update to #picplanner for a long time because I dig into OpenGL to improve my animations. But it is much more complicated then expected... I hope a breakthrough will follow soon 😄
The #Librem5 is reaching non-specific YouTube channels!
Millions of people are finally aware of the existence of a GNU Linux Phone. Let the privacy revolution begin! 😄 😅

Convergent App Development
"The Librem 5 while docked is just as versatile to write code on as our laptop. Build apps once, and run them on any screen size on a variety of hardware."
Corona Contact Tracing Germany now on F-Droid 🚀
No dependency to Google, no microg app required. Pure open source, built reproducibly.

Hardware should be open:
I have an USB 4G surfstick (ZTE MF823) which worked perfectly on Linux for over a year. Suddenly it stopped working. However, it still works on Windows. But it doesn't work on any Linux system. I guess it is just a software bug but it is a pain to figure out what is going on because there is absolutely no documentation about this device online... Open Hardware could definitely help to reduce electronic waste!
Librem 5 Mass Production Phone Has Begun Shipping
"Shipping the Librem 5 has been an immense multi-year developmental effort. It is the culmination of people’s desire to see an alternative to Android and iOS..."

The EU seems extremely naive to think that banning E2E encryption could stop criminal activities. This will only harm regular citizens and allows spying by every secret service in the world. Did nobody learn from the #NSA and #snowden story?
E2E encryption protects civil rights and doesn't harm them.

@geary @gnome @purism Just got the #Geary email client running on a #librem5 Birch. This is a Geary version built from Purism's git repo https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/geary (I tried the upstream version also but got into trouble with the initial account setup dialog that did not fit the screen). Anyway, glad to see this is working! #FreeSoftware #GNOME #GNU #Linux
I think I found some appropriate equations to calculate the position of the moon (Azimuth +- 0.5° and Elevation +- 1°). I have to test them in further detail but it looks like a good compromise between accuracy and simplicity.
One goal is to keep the number of calculations low for a better performance on mobile devices.
Bye-Bye #Microsoft: Die gut 25.000 Landesmitarbeiter.innen in Schleswig-Hiolstein, die bisher noch vor allem mit Microsoft-Produkten arbeiten, müssen sich bis 2025 umgewöhnen. Was das bedeutet , darüber habe ich mit Landes-CIO Sven Thomsen gesprochen. Der ist selbst großer #OpenSource-Fan. Er arbeitet daran, dass die Landesverwaltung in Zukunft mit einem Mix aus #Nextcloud, #LDAP, #OpenXChange, #Jitsi und #LibreOffice arbeitet. Und am Ende evtl. sogar #Linux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhVP1Ozc35s
