I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.

I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.

Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.

Are we still doing hashtags?

In Belgium's final weeks as head of the EU Council, officials have renewed a debate about installing encryption backdoors, despite its overwhelming unpopularity. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/eu-c

So far you had to pull out #phosh's top and bottom bar quiet a bit to make it unfold. That's kind of o.k. on 📱 like the #Librem5 or #PinePhone but can be cumbersome on larger phones like the #OnePlus6T or tablets like the #Librem11. I've put out an MR for #phoc which adds a fling #gesture so you can also fold/unfold with a fast swipe. Here's a short video demoing this for different screen sizes:

After 3 Years of Censorship:
Mainstream Media Now Confirms that
"COVID Jabs May be to Blame for
Increase in Excess Deaths”

~ MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY
JUN 9

If The Telegraph report had been published in early 2021,
several million lives would have been saved.

But in 2021, censorship was imposed.
Honest journalism was silenced.
The media was supportive of the fear campaign.

The Telegraph report by Science Editor Sara Knapton,
5 June 2024 pertains to:

Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data
from 47 Western countries
and discovered there had been more than
three million excess deaths since 2020,
with the trend continuing
despite the rollout of vaccines
and "containment measures".

This week's donation went to Bardia Moshiri also known as "FakeShell". They're a developer who contributes to Droidian, FuriOS, Manjaro Libhybris among others. In short if you're wanting to get away from Android/iOS and run a more pure form of Linux on your mobile device he's helping make that happen in a variety of ways.

They have a personal website here:

bardia.tech/

They have a profile at Github:

If you wish to help them financially they accept donations through Github and Patreon:

I just recently found out about a mobile Linux company called FuriLabs. They made a fork of Droidian called FuriOS and are offering a phone for sale that uses it called the "FLX1". The phone has a 5000 mAh removable battery, a headphone jack, is IP68 rated for waterproof, 128GB of storage, 6GB of RAM, and has an 8 core SOC in the Mediatek Dimensity 900. FuriOS plans to offer monthly updates to the stable branch, plans to collect zero data from the user, and allows using normal Linux programs on your mobile device. They seem to ship to a variety of countries. If you want a phone that can be fixed, isn't a throwaway, and want to use an OS that is closer to straight Linux on your phone then this is very interesting. It looks like a good addition to other such devices like the Volla phones and Teracube 2E.

The main website for FuriLabs is here:

furilabs.com/

The store page for the FLX1 is here:

furilabs.com/shop/flx1/

The company has a Github page where their code can be found:

Minds #readingcommunity, what is a book you've read recently that you absolutely do not recommend anyone read, and why did that book disappoint you?

This makes me so ANGRY. I found James Shapiro in 2021 and asked him this question, and he said then it was "not impossible". Yet the world pushed ahead injecting everyone of child-bearing age and younger.
