#librem-5 — Public Fediverse posts

I keep my #iPhone mostly stock apps, since most third-party apps are effectively malware... but for maps, I installed #CoMaps.

CoMaps works offline, and I suspect also gives more privacy than Apple's maps.

(I'll probably eventually go back from the iPhone, to a #GrapheneOS phone, or to a Linux #Phosh device like the Purism #Librem5. But I wanted to take a break, and daily-driver an Apple Watch and iPhone awhile.)

@ganch

I usually charge the #Librem5 whenever I have the opportunity. For my usage the battery life is acceptable this way.

The June PureOS update report by @purism was published:

https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-development-report-may-2026/

It elaborates a bit more on the release of Crimson and way forward to the next release, named Dawn.

Also to the release of the #Librem16 laptop is mentioned.

Thanks to all who worked on this or contributed in any other way, like being a totally optional PureOS subscriber: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/

Hi @FTM_nl, als abonnee las ik jullie artikel over social media:

https://www.ftm.nl/nieuwsbrieven/onze-haat-liefderelatie-met-sociale-media

Ik was geïnteresseerd in de video's maar kon ze op jullie website niet vinden.

Waar kan ik jullie filmpjes vinden, los van #bigtech?

Hebben jullie een #peertube-instance overwogen? Wat waren de overwegingen?

Ik ben tegen #appdwang, zie https://appdwang.nl/ waarom.

Zelf gebruik ik een #Librem5 van @purism als telefoon.

Ook mis ik een #Mastodon deelknop en volgknop op jullie website.

@sander

Less mature from which point of view? The #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone by @purism come with #PureOS, a #Debian based Linux distribution.

PureOS has recently been upgraded, and is actively maintained.

@xenons @phosh I wish something like the Vitals GNOME extension existed for phosh - for monitoring memory and internal diskspace on #Librem5 and other #lowspec devices.

@Oleksii @robot Video calls using @dino has been working even on #postmarketOS stable since last year at least. I tested it successfully on a #Librem5 with pmOS 26.06 and 25.12 during each's testing phase.

@austriancoder Thanks for your blogs. Yesterday I (re)read a whole bunch of them, and I start understanding more and more of your work. Nice to have more to read now :-) I'm especially interested because of the possible impact on the #Librem5.

This is so convenient when in the train: I just connect my #Librem5 phone with a USB cable to my laptop running #Fedora. The laptop gets internet access from the #phone (plug and play), the #Linux phone charges from the laptop. Win-win.

I have a Gnome app PicPlanner. However, I am not a professional developer and don't have the time to keep up with the feature requests for PicPlanner or even start another app for the Librem 5. But in the last few days with heavy AI usage I managed to do exactl that. Right now nothing is pushed into my repository. What do you think about this?

Using AI and get the stuff done or don't use AI and not having the software.

This looks like a good development in #Signal:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/fd1d70e79f4da7aaafb851ca4f3ad065b98ccd78

"Add Linux arm64 to CI pipeline."

Maybe an official Signal .deb is on the horizon for Signal on my #Librem5.

Until now I use an unofficial flatpak.

Do not fall for a false EU vs US contradiction. Yes, jurisdiction matters, but key is the freedom of the owner to use their device freely, without forced "services".

Give positive examples, like the #Librem5 #Linux phone that is giving full freedom to the user. It runs #PureOS which is included in the list of Free Linux distributions published by the @fsf.

There are several such operating systems. Personally I use #PureOS by @purism on my #Librem5. PureOS is a #Linux distribution:

I use the Librem 5 as my daily phone.

Stop #AppDwang totally, especially by government. I use a #Librem5 #Linux phone. Provide services via the browser and open standards.
