FSF is looking to reverse-engineer and replace proprietary modules for at least one modern smart phone. Could a device from @fairphone.com be it?

FSF announces Librephone project — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software
"Forty years ago, when the FSF was founded, our focus was on providing an operating system people could use on desktop and server computers in freedom. Times have changed, technology has progressed, but our commitment to freedom hasn't," said Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF. "A lot of work has been done in mobile phone freedom over the years that we'll be building on. The FSF is now ready to do what is necessary to bring freedom to cell phone users. Given the complexity of the devices, this work will take time, but we're used to playing the long game."

Quality journalism about why more of second-hand shopping has become fast-fashion dominated and unsustainable: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAJD...
My own (quite recent) conclusion remains that conscious living is a feel-good distraction that is counter-productive to actual change.

@spookston.bsky.social yo, I noticed your main channel "about" section has messed up Discord and Pateron links. Also are you allowed to link to your second, non-WT channel there?

Thanks to a conveniently placed OsmAnd~ update, I need no math to inform you that my 2025 adventure was ~1300km and ~~200h of biking. Also about 8km uphill and slightly less downhill. Classic life 😄

I got back home Wednesday. In the coming days I will make a few more posts summarizing details about my trip
First, bragging about the languages I got to speak during this trip (chronologically; sorry for using country flags)
1 or more words understood: 🇪🇪🇷🇺🇪🇸🇸🇪🇫🇮🇫🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇩🇪🇨🇳🇸🇾🇮🇹🇩🇰🇱🇹🇱🇻
5 or more words: 🇪🇪🇷🇺🇪🇸🇸🇪🇫🇷🇯🇵🇩🇪🇮🇹

I might have been locked in an industrial courtyard while sleeping but managed to harmlessly break out just in time to catch my ride from Liepāja to Rīga 😅
Soo many (homeless) cats in Liepāja 😯
And the cracked/broken asphalt was very nostalgic - reminded me of home 20-30 years ago

1/3 I planned to replace and send off in a respectful ritual my running shoes that I've used since 2015 during this trip. Unfortunately Stockholm did not have the niche I wanted in ~20 hiking and sports stores.
In Sweden I dropped my bike on my helmet a few times and eventually broke it. I kept...

Fell asleep before posting again (after binging Wikipedia for a few hours 🫣)
Slept next to Pape nature reserve with feral horses, cattle and bison 😯. At noon learned there's a military testing ground nearby as well
So many bloodsucking flying insects that I spent ~4h awake in my bivvy 😅

This is to all my Estonian-speakers. Just before this I was at a place called "Bro" 😂
The photo is from yesterday. I rode about 100km but forgot to track it. This morning I did 60km to a ferry in Karlshamn. Tomorrow morning I'll arrive in Klaipeda, 🇱🇹 and head north. Maybe take a train to Riga🤔

Freedom! With all its pros & cons 😁
Since it is very dark outside I will instead share a screenshot. This site/app has been pretty helpful in finding public campsites. This feels like cheating since camping like this is 20 times easier 😄

I strongly recommend this video to you. Also to everybody you know that might be at least slightly worried about our world recently. Despite the vulgar language, the message is deep and beautiful 😌
Please pass it on if you also feel it might help others right now 🙏🥺

Finally! I've always dreamt of a solution to the muffin-waste-problem. I thought edible wrappers might be the answer but reusable silicone ones will do 😍. Will find out how useful thee actually are 😄
Bought a few souvenirs and gifts today. I don't like mindless gifts so this is very rare.

Still high stress and from it sleeping issues, constant snacking & YT😞
Reconnected slightly with ADHD hyperfocus. Trying to enjoy this drive to do random stuff like updating login credentials on my old accounts, or customizing the menus in my browser...😅
Better to avoid than be stuck in emotions?🤔

Found enough motivation for a break from cookies and Youtube to make my hiking hat a reality
I bought a second hand women's hat (all new ones were too small), removed the fake gold bling and now added the cord I got from the bike enthusiasts and the cord lock from the German motorbikers 🥰

Forgot to post yesterday😅
After visiting ~14 pharmacies in Sweden I finally found a small pain-free antibacterial wound spray in Denmark. Poor variety is 1 of the smaller drawbacks of monopolization🙄
I'm watching YT, over-eating, worrying, struggling with sleep - just like home, only more friends

Today was a Youtube day mostly. Had to relearn how to ride my bike without the 25kg in the back 😄
Thinking of getting my fancy new dynamo (that I ordered to my friends' place) installed tomorrow. But no clue how to choose the shop. Most reliable ones probably have the longest queues 🤔

Unpacking this much for the first time. So much stuff. If it weren't my first time and if I didn't plan to spend weeks in the city, I could have 30-40% less mass.
When I was doing 30km/h in Copenhagen with 25 extra kg - what will happen tomorrow when I have shed most of it? 😅

Did 112km. Crossing the Øresund right now. Bicycles and pedestrians are currently only allowed to cross in a train or car
My knees were the weakest link. Wrist and some joints in feet second. I will learn tomorrow if I was careful enough
I also saw very large birds eat a cow
Today was a good day😁

I like Swedish humor
In other news I spent the night at a public campsite. Tried some tent-sauna with some German motorbikers
If I manage 120km today, then I'll be on a train over Øresund bridge towards Denmark. But my water and electricity is low. Airplane mode it is then. We'll see how it goes 🤷♀️

Trained firemaking and cooking! Flint & steel took me maybe 40 min 😅
Didn't reach my planned public campsite, but thanks to some kind people found another on #osm
The vegan middags korv sausage was nice, canned herbs - not so much. Canned baked(?) 🍆 were great. The last 1 exploded from overcooking

I tried canned surströmming (the notorious Swedish smelly rotten fish)! It was... predictably barely tolerable
I avoid food waste out of habit & due to respect towards our ancestor or those currently without enough of it, those who made it (willing or not)
But I made an exception for surströmming😂

Pros: asphalt (no ticks), wind wall, visually hidden, no residential areas nearby, barrier from cars, gravel nearby so I can hear anybody approaching, maybe legal
Cons: freeway noises, occasional metal clangs from the wind, maybe not legal
