Really good post on why distros and package maintainers matter:

@werwolf link to blog?

@tomasino They disabled the use of "external desktop clients". So you have to use the webclient.

Im sure it's still using imap.

My university disabled imap so I have to use the outlook web client. This is a bug:

How do you manage to ship a product with this bug. I spent so much time thinking I was doing something wrong.

@silverhax @fraolt @proycon Nice! Feel free to add your findings to the postmarketOS wiki so that you can find it in the future and others can help keep it up to date.

@silverhax @fraolt @proycon You could try using `x2x`. I have packaged it in alpine stable and edge.

@fraolt @silverhax @proycon You can install the dwm postmarketos ui metapackage alongside the sway postmarketos ui metapackage via apk. If you want, feel free to send a patch to the docs.

@twrightsman @craftyguy Writing a package for alpine is really easy!

@drq I dont use docker so I cant help you there. You can install go-sendxmpp from the alpine repos if you are on edge. If not, you have to use go get and have a potentially insecure version of go-sendxmpp.

I got blinking led working on the pinephone pro.

@cnx I use evil mode ๐Ÿ˜ž

@cnx capslock is my escape key lol. I dont wanna change that. I use escape more than ctrl.

@graf LMAO. I use emacs so my left ctrl key broke ๐Ÿ˜ž. I dont wanna order another set of keys so I just moved my right ctrl key to my left ctrl key.

@alexandra Yes it is!

@jan_wagemakers Thanks for posting this, I had to ask in the chatroom how docker nftable worked so updated the firewall wiki page to include instructions on how to contribute.

@jan_wagemakers We dont need to poke holes in the default firewall. We can use the "install_if" in the APKBUILD (see man APKBUILD). This is how the docker rules in pmOS are set and the docker rules are only installed if docker is installed. Regardless, I want pmOS to have sane defaults out of the box so I submitted a merge request: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/2725/diffs

@jan_wagemakers submitting a bug report or better yet, a merge request to pmaports would be cool! Ive always wanted to try out mosh.

@colinl I agree. I can recommend replicant, librem 5, or pinephone to anyone that values freedom over everything else. Thats why I see this article as about "why the fsf doesnt endorse the pinephone/librem 5 and why you might wanna buy one anyway if you care about freedom". In a world where "nothing to hide" has been the norm for 20+ years, freedom wont come overnight and we need a variety of approaches. Im just happy we have 3 phones I can recommend now to freedom lovers

Good writeup discussing how the pinephone and librem 5 stacks up to the fsf approved replicant phones in terms of freedom:
