No power to Librem 5. Not a great start but hey... I’ve waited this long!

This is apparently the first user to receive their phone from the latest Purism shipment.

Man why is it so expensive

While they often tout being a Social Purpose Corporation, they still haven't been publishing reports or offering much transparency into their operations.

Awesome! This phone will soon be among the very few good phones available, and it is awesome to expand that category.

A phone running linux is nice, a phone running gnome makes me interested and a phone running linux apps is fantastic (which it supposedly does after reading up on the linux capabilities).

This is a stepping stone on the way to full freedom/privacy. What it offers over Lineage:

3 hardware kill switches
Not based on Google's Android, real linux
Open source bios - I think, maybe more open than Lineage
Less proprietary firmware- only the phone modem (and whatever is in the CPU) I think

I'll applaud the effort to make safe devices, but with a proprietary CPU whats the point? What does the Librem phone offer that a standard phone with LineageOS and taped over cam doesn't provide?

d3rr · 2019-07-30T21:29:31+00:00

There's still no ship date I guess but it's closer than ever!

My God Damn $600 Librem phone preorder

OwU · 2019-05-08T12:07:53+00:00

Whats a GD? Sorry

d3rr · 2019-05-08T01:11:04+00:00

although the rebranding should have been disclosed immediately, not as a reactionary measure

Strike one Purism. I will cancel my GD preorder and never look back.

I'm giving them a pass on the trackers because it's fixed, but sloppy guys.

Add to /u/d3rr to do list?
