No Voice of the masses this time? 🙁
Yes, sorry about that. The four of us have found it difficult to find the time over the last few weeks, hence this recording being reduced to Ben and I .
We’ll get back on track and hopefully re-instate the missing sections and presenters.
I don’t care if purism can compete with the likes of google. I want a phone that does what I want it to do and nothing else. Android is a privacy nightmare, IOS is a dictatorship. Librem 5, if Purism delivers the hardware will be just a pretty pocket PC on which you could run any Linux distro and do whatever you feel like. Run ICQ in wine for all I care 😉 I don’t think it needs to be huge to be successful. Just enough to free those who want to be freed. Then, hopefully, more people will follow. Microsoft and Canonical failed because they tried to play the mass-market smartphone game. I don’t think that Purism is doing that.
your comments about blade runner are well taken. i think your description of the original is apt. it a work that is imperfect and beautiful, and has rendered me unable to appreciate the conventional action movies since passed off as science fiction. the 1982 film has been enormously influential on me–such that i had planned not to see BR 2049 on principle. i will now go see it.
if i have any deep thoughts i’ll mention them at a future date.
cheers
Haven’t listened to the ep yet – just found out my podcast app missed it. In a recent phone reinstall I re-subscribed – apparently to the wrong feed. PlayerFM lists two LV podcasts – I guess one is ogg (56 subs) and one mp3 (314 subs). So you may not have reached as many PlayerFm users this fortnight.
If truth is beauty and beauty truth then Open Source has the truth and so therefore must also have the beauty.
