@etbe Yes battery life is short - just around 5 hours if auto suspend is not used. However, I've found that poor battery life is an easy problem to work around with no technical knowledge.

I simply have a charger everywhere (house, car, work) and charge when it's below 50%.

When I can't plug in to a charger, I use those tiny Anker Nano wireless power banks to charge while it's in my pocket or even while I'm using it.

PureOS Crimson is released!!!

After a long wait PureOS Crimson is finally released!! 🥳 🚀

This is a new release of the Linux distribution for the Librem 5 Linux phone and other devices made by @purism.

"But but but compared to my Core i9 fighter jet, your old Intel Xeon is slow to compile adblocking lists on the fly! 🧐"

Well, my standard is Firefox (w/ uBlock Origin) that loads those websites in less than 500 milliseconds at all times on the same CPU 🤷

Ideally we need something more efficient for content filters in #WebKit. It would certainly have a big impact for #LinuxMobile processing speed & battery life. Imagine underpowered mobile chips having to bruteforce through this 😬

New PSA for the sdm845-device users on @postmarketOS running edge:
if you devices sensor suddenly stopped working since an update, check if also the -sensors device firmware package is installed, e.g. firmware-xiaomi-beryllium-sensors

Hey @signalapp, would it be possible to implement taking photos from within the #Signal #Desktop app?

See this feature request:

I use the #Librem5 as my daily #phone with #Signal. Quickly making and sending a #photo from within Signal Desktop is really something I miss.

@xenons Cool. For the #Librem5 by @purism though there is already a vibrant community here:

Maybe the #Librem5 costs a lot, but I would not phrase it as "too expensive". Keep in mind that #Purism only once earns money when selling the device. No money is earned from selling user profiles or pushing advertisements or apps.

Purism contributed a lot to the #MobileLinux eco system, also on the software side:
- Origins of #Phosh
- #convergence
- upstreaming of #mobile patches to several #GNOME applications and Linux
- Origins of #adwaita
- #PureOS distro

Lilbits: The trouble with lifetime subscriptions, Google puts AI everywhere, and the Trump Phone is real?

Once upon a time, Plex was a free app that was a fork of XBMC (Kodi) that you could use as a full-screen media player on a computer, or to stream media over a local network. And you can still use it for those things. But these days Plex also offers ad-supported TV & movie streaming, and subscription services that let you stream your personal media collection over the internet (so you can watch […]

Turning an $80 Android tablet into a Debian Linux PC

Smartphones and tablets are basically little computers with touchscreen displays. But since most ship with mobile operating systems like Android or iPadOS, they’re often tightly tied to Google or Apple for support, services, and app stores, among other things.

So developer tech4bot decided to set a cheap Android tablet free by turning porting Linux to run on it. The Doogee U10 is a budget […]
