Fennel – Summary of user-visible changes

Finally listened to @librelounge interview with @mntmn about the mnt reform. Great, got me hooked! We are definitely building momentum with more open machines, and we badly need more of them for sure

The HOPE 2020 Schedule is up!

AFAIK it's free to attend, with some events (workshops) limited in live participation paying attendees who bought tickets before the pandemic, but you should be able to watch the talks at the very least.

I know there's a lot of fear from some of my friends about HOPE and it's scary image, but I encourage everyone to watch and participate.

Please, Americans, if you do nothing else today, then please take action against EARN-IT.

https://www.noearnitact.org/call/?link_id=0&can_id=bfbae84c7fa9804896ed0481e29757d7&source=email-earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday&email_referrer=email_848204&email_subject=earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday

We discussed it on the show, but it would destroy online privacy, crypto, etc. This is no joke. Please, take action TODAY as it goes up for a vote July 2nd.

If you love Free Software or Privacy, this bill has to die!

DON’T LET CONGRESS KILL FREE SPEECH ONLINE

JUNE 30: Call Congress to stop the dangerous EARN IT Act, and protect free speech & security online

I want to do a few @librelounge episodes on gender and Free Software.

I'd love to talk to female identifying and or trans folks, especially if you're working on something cool. Please talk to me!

My Pinephone arrives today.

What are people's favorite Free Phone OS?

So far on my list to evaluate I have:

PostmarketOS
pureOS
Ubuntu Touch
Sailfish OS
Graphene OS

Does anyone have experience with these OSes or Free phones?

My day of synchronicity:

I finally open up my laptop to see how easy it would be to replace the hard drive. It wouldn't be easy. I will upgrade the RAM though, and now I know what type it is.

I read about @ehmry porting Nix to Genode.

I listened to another @librelounge with yet another amazing guest, with whom @emacsen discusses how hard it is to upgrade laptops and briefly how cool Genode is.
I was thinking that @librelounge episode No 6 might trigger that good old rougelike addiction, well here i am third day in a row spending most of my spare time letting a penguin shoot frozen bubbles at other frozen bubbles. Sure wasn't expecting that...

Are you interested in an entirely #FreeSoftware and #FreeHardware laptop? How about if it's meant to be modified and upgraded?

In this episode of Libre Lounge, @emacsen sits down with Lukas Hartmann from @mntmn to talk about his history in Free Software, the MNT Reform project, and the future!
