Il y a quelques mois j'ai découvert #LibreÀVous . Une émission de radio de l @aprilorg que j'écoute en podcast qui a pour ambition de "faire découvrir les enjeux et l’actualité du #logiciellibre ". C'est une émission fort intéressante. L'émission n°6 du 6/11/2018 traite de "Téléphonie mobile et libertés". Notamment #librem5 , #replicant .
Je n'ai pas regardé si des émissions plus récentes traitent du sujet et du #pinephone
Je vous invite à visiter leur site www.libreavous.org

Also, it looks like NXP has picked up their Cadence HDMI/DP bridge/PHY driver upstreaming effort again, which is a great news as it's one of the biggest things we carry in the downstream #librem5 tree!

Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.

While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

Ik gebruik een telefoon waar ik zelf de volledige controle heb. Een #Librem5 van @purism.

Also, I use GNOME Podcasts and Shortwave a lot on my #Librem5.

I notice the data connectivity loss mostly when listening to online radio with GNOME #Shortwave when I'm out of the house.

Unfortunately, the mobile data connectivity sometimes gets lost. I experience this as well. This is a known bug:

https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/OS-issues/-/issues/328

This issue is not related to the mobile provider as far as I know.

With Crimson (the beta of the next PureOS release) I have the impression the bug happens less. But this is difficult to prove. See: https://forums.puri.sm/t/crimson-experience/22228/304?u=janvlug

Another day with daily driving the #Librem5. Today with wireless and listening to some music. Curious to see how the battery will hold.

Based on usage yesterday, I had issues with the 4G data connection.I could not listen to music that I was streaming. So I just copied music to the phone and listening offlline. I tried using mpd, but kept getting errors. So I am using Rhytmbox.
