The Librem 5 smartphone offers three robust kill switches that allow you to disable a wide range of hardware features, giving you complete control over your device's security. https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ #Librem5#Purism
Ironically that made me pick up my own phone to take this photo, acting like another of those infamous zombies. In my defense I did not actually enter the playground, so strictly speaking I did not violate the sanctity of the mobile-zombie-free zone. Also, the phone (#Librem5 yay!) was back in pocket directly without further zombie-like behaviour. 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5
No manual editing this time, but an automatic postprocessing script using darktable-cli and rudimentary lens corrections. Takes ~30 sec to develop on the phone - about ten times longer than the default script used by Millipixels, but with much better results. #shotonlibrem5#librem5#mobilelinux#linuxmobile#photography
There was a rather long while a few years ago when the cameras did not work yet. It's fun npw to look back at that now, see for example the various photo attempts in this issue: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux/-/issues/43
It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.
It's been almost 5 years but I've written a new blog post again! This time describing my setup for daily driving #PlasmaMobile on #postmarketOS after a bit more than a week of using it.
@bart I think one reason why people think the #Librem5 and #Pinephone are the best options is because there has been a lot time and effort to support them properly.
I would agree that the OG Pinephone is quite slow out of the box though. However the Pinephone Pro is pretty solid. Only thing that quite bugs me is battery life.
The Librem5 is quite impressive out of the box and pricing has been adjusted. So I wouldn't say it's too expensive for what you get.
I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).
Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.
Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅
