"[Old PostgreSQL logo from 1996, featuring "PostgreSQL" text above what looks like a broken wall made out of brick, and with the space in the background]

This was the first logo PostgreSQL used when released in July 1996. Frankly, it was a mistake to ever stop using it."

STOP DOING Chromebooks

- Laptops were never meant to only run chrome
- YEARS of Chromebooks yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for Chromeos
- Wanted to run programs? We had a tool for that: It was called Windows
- "Yes please give me cr50 of something. Please give me SuzyQable" - statements dreamed up by evil wizards

LOOK at what Google engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the script & drivers we built for them (This is REAL laptop done by REAL engineers)

<3 pictures of chromebooks>

"Hello I would like ti50 apples please"
They have played us for absolute fools

@bart They already realised this. The FSF is no longer the one pushing FOSS forward anymore. Except for FSF hardcore fans, mostly everyone I saw talking about the LibrePhone think it will never materialize..

And that is true, really... They're planning to take a *recent* phone (likely MT/qcom) and reverse-engineer firmware .. something which is quite impossible because of things like secure boot.. hey, in postmarketOS it's also just impossible to use newer versions of that same proprietary firmware as long as they've not been approved by the manufacturer! Unless they manage to break secureboot (which is unlikely), of course.

All in all, this has too much red flags to be considered really serious. It seems they don't really have much experience in that area, and I'm not sure they want to collab with anyone that does.

Also, android.. Why android? I mean, assuming they're as purist as they claim to be, android is going to be a nightmare to compile on the FSF-approved ThinkPad X200 and such.. they'd be also relying on Google to publish Android source code, which they have recently been not doing all that frequently, and delaying security fixes to AOSP unless deemed "critical".

@amszmidt @jbz you're right. The GNU GPL only forces you to upload the source to *other* users you share your binary with.

But if you just took a GPL project and modified it just for yourself, you are absolutely fine not sharing the source.
