I hope they’re spending time to make sure the touch ux is good, looks like a lot of the testing is happening with mouse and keyboard if that’s what they’re showing in demos.

Still looks like great progress. Can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a new phone.

That's a good point.

People said the telsa car user interface update in the model S was too small to be easily usable - maybe because people were not testing in an expensive moving car, but at their desk.

How is the progress of the open Vulkan driver for Vivante GPU?

Libhandy

Hopefully this doesn't cause issues with the politically-correct crowd, I've already seen one gnome contractor quit over the content policy on librem social not being strict enough, as well as a mastodon dev saying that they won't continue doing work for librem on their social platform.

i'm missing something here - what does "libhandy" have to do with treating people with respect?

what you're missing is that "treating people with respect?" has little overlap with things people get outraged over.

Any updates on shipping dates? I preordered one and am looking forward to using the Librem 5.

Looks like lots of good progress.

But who says we don't want the date on the lock screen, and what are they smoking?

Is this one of those Gnome-esque "light and uncluttered" fetishes? 'Cause one thing real people want in a phone is usefulness. You know the date, sometimes we need to know it. Keeping it secret is just rude.
