"Purism exists because individual rights are no longer reliably protected by policy alone. In practice, they are determined by the design of the technology people are required to use.
The modern U.S. government no longer needs to openly censor speech or ban technologies to exert control. It can instead rely on a dense web of commercial platforms... that centralize power, identity, and data by design."

I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.
I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.
Read here about the beginning of this experiment: https://janvlug.org/blog/one-week-librem-5-field-trial-day-1/

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

@khalid @postmarketOS Did you also consider a #Librem5 or #LibretyPhone by @purism?
The #Purism phones are a behind the latest #Phosh version, but #Phosh is default on #PureOS.
Also #PostmarketOS seems to run on the Librem 5. But I have no personal experience with that.
An upgrade of PureOS is in the works. You can read more about it here:
-
The next release of the operating system for the #Librem5 is getting closer.
Have a look at this upgrade sneak preview:
https://puri.sm/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/pureosupgrade-1.webm
The Librem 5 or #LibertyPhone by @purism gives you full control over your phone.
You have full software #freedom and #privacy. No #lockin, but #DigitalSovereignty. You can break fully free from #BigTech with these phones. #Purism invested a lot in software for Linux phones together with many others.

PureOS Crimson Development Report: December 2025 – Purism -
"The View Toward the City," Torsten Jovinge, 1930.
Jovinge (1898-1936) was a Swedish Modernist painter who had a brief but influential career.
He called his style "Purism" and was seen to be influenced by Cubism, with his use of colorful shapes in his work. But rather than distorting his subjects, or playing with perspective, he represents in his own way. He breaks them down into shapes but still retains some shading and texture.
His works were popular in his home country and were an influence on Swedish Modernism. He did a number of works set in various parts of Europe. He began painting and developed his style in the 1920s, traveling in Paris and other areas, and staying mostly in Sweden and Denmark in the 30s.
In 1936, he decided to travel to Morocco to paint, and during a stopover in Seville he was found shot to death in his hotel room. Spanish authorities, at the time caught up in the Spanish Civil War, claimed it was suicide, but the general agreement is that it was murder for unknown reasons.
From a private collection.

There is a new development report regarding the next release of #PureOS: #Crimson.
PureOS is the #Linux distribution that is the default for #Purism products, like the #Librem5 #privacy and #security focused #phone.
The maintenance of PureOS is an example of the opposite of planned obsolescence.
Give it a read and learn how a hardware product becomes better and better through software updates.

The Myth of “Deleted” Data
Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed what many of us in the #privacy community have long feared: ChatGPT conversations, even those marked as “temporary” or “deleted,” are being #preserved #indefinitely due to a court order tied to a copyright lawsuit.
https://puri.sm/posts/ai-and-data-privacy-under-scrutiny/
#Purism believes that the solution starts with three core principles:
- True Data Sovereignty
- Transparent Retention Policies
- Legal Firewalls for Sensitive Data -
"At #Purism, we believe privacy is a fundamental right—not a setting buried in your #phone."
"If you’re done with being a passive participant in your own data harvesting, there’s a better way."
"Take back your digital sovereignty. Choose a phone that works for you—not on you."
Choose a @purism phone, a #Librem5 or a #LibertyPhone.
-
Not all companies are like this:
"At @purism #privacy isn’t a toggle buried deep within a settings menu; it’s the foundation of everything we build. Our devices—like the #Librem5 smartphone and #Librem14 laptop—run on free and #opensource software (#FOSS) , ensuring that users have full #transparency and #control over their data.Unlike Meta, #Purism does not monetize personal information."

@danie10 Please add @purism As far as I know, it's still the ony company in the world that has made #LinuxOnly laptops, minis, servers, tablet, and phones as well as the OS which is #FSF-endorsed.
In all fairness, Dell shouldn't even be on the list as their XPS laptops with Linux preloaded isn't #LinuxFirst or even available except in certain countries.

Lilbits: Lenovo ThinkPhone 2025 leaked, Purism release Librem 5 design files, ONEXGPU 2 is coming soon

Purism releases the STEP file for the Librem 5, a 3D model file with information about the Linux smartphone's mechanical components. It's not enough to build your own, but could aid in repair or third-party mods. https://buff.ly/47D2PhW #Librem5 #Purism #LinuxSmartphones

The frustrating, multi-year saga of my attempt to get the refund that was promised to me from @[email protected] for my #Purism #Librem5 has come to a yucky end. I wanted to be done with it so I proposed a compromise - full store credit that I could use towards a #Librem11. It kinda sucks because I ended up giving the garbage company more money but at least I have a reasonably useful device. I put #Fedora 40 on it and it's been great so far.
