Google to Pay Texas $1.4 Billion to End Privacy Cases

Users who rely on Google’s Android ecosystem—phones, tablets, search engines, browsers—are exposed to monitoring, tracking, and data harvesting by design, not by accident.

Unlike Google and Android-based platforms, Purism’s #Librem5 smartphone and #PureOS operating system are built for privacy, security, and user freedom.

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up all the hacks I used to upstream this as quickly as possible. Along the way, I also fixed some issues with 3d, cube, and 2d_array support 😎

I was not getting mobile data while at #DebConf25 (Brest, France) on #Librem5. My home network is vi India. Another provider airtel worked, and the same Vi sim worked on an android phone as well as pinephone pro running mobian. On #FLX1 also vi failed but airtel worked.
I manged to get it working after installing a patched ModemManager that uses ppp instead of qmi for data connection. Thanks to @dos for maintaining these patches source.puri.sm/sebastian.krzys

@ronnylam I have suspend enabled when on battery power. This works pretty well, although it is officially still considered experimental. In general, I keep the #Librem5 connected to a charger whenever possible, so I do not know exactly how long the battery lasts. But for sure there has been a lot of progress in how long you can use the phone on one battery charge. Maybe not up to par with other phones, but workable for me.

Did you ever have a look at the excellent #documentation of #Purism products?

docs.puri.sm/

One of the products of Purism is the #Librem5. The Librem 5 is a #Linux phone that runs the #PureOS operating system.

This phone is built up from the bottom to provide #privacy and software #freedom. No #surveillance by the manufacturer, free and #opensource (#FOSS) is their standard.

I use a Librem 5 as my daily phone.

Can you program GPUs and do you want to become a HERO? #linuxphone
community needs your help.

We are trying record video, and have most pieces working, but one is
missing: fast enough debayering. That means about 23MB/sec on #librem5.

Debayering is not hard; camera images have subpixels split on two
lines, which need to be corrected. They also use different color
representation, but that's fixable by some table lookup and two matrix
multiplies.

Librem 5 has Vivante GPU, 4 in-order CPU cores and 3GB RAM. My feeling
is that it should be fast enough for that. If task is for some reason
impossible, that would be good to know, too.

Image data looks like this

RGRGRG...
xBxBxB...
.........
.........

Task is to turn that into usual rgbrgb.... format. rgb = RGB * color
matrix, with table lookups for better quality. I can fix that once I
get an example.

I'm looking for example code (#pinephone would work, too), reasons it
can not be done... and boosts if you have friends that can program
GPUs. #gpu #opensource

Last night, I spent several hours debugging an issue with some CTS tests for a new feature. I couldn't pinpoint the problem and ended up staring at related GPU states until I eventually gave up for the night.

The next day, I took another look at my code - and within moments, I spotted the issue, fixed it, and the CTS passed without complaint.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/

This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

@inderix 4G works well, but I have issues with SMS when I use 4G.

PureOS on the #Librem5 has for me the best user experience, because I am fully in control, and it is just a Linux device. I'm very used to the power that Linux gives their users.

But #PureOS is not as smooth as Android or IOS. Many things take some more effort. I accept some inconvenience to really own and control my device. The great thing is that PureOS gets better and better.

@inderix I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone for over three years.

The Librem 5 is not bloated with proprietary software.

Also note, that #Purism only at the selling time earns on you. They do not build profiles of their customers to sell.

The operating system, #PureOS, for the Librem 5 is maintained, and an upgrade is in the works.

See here how I started using the Librem 5 as an experiment:

Yes, there is some inconvenience, but I accept that for my #freedom.
