🎉 Tor Browser 15.0 is now available! Our first stable release based on Firefox ESR 140, incorporating a year's worth of changes. Download now from the Tor Browser download page: https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-150/
@torproject Was hoping to see a AArch64 build for the native #Linux version, as well as for the #flatpak on #Flathub. Currently, the only easy way to connect to the #TOR network on #LinuxMobile is using #BraveBrowser or #Carburetor.

I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone. What I like a lot is that it is just a #Linux computer where I've freedom and where I'm in control.
On my recent Librem 5's GPS works well.
#PureOS ( #Debian based) will soon get an upgrade. See also:

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

I erred in selecting Android as my mobile device platform.
That's the nub of it.
The haunting spectre of Google looms closer.
Remedying my error is going to be tough. It will require significant compromise on my part. For some things, I just don't have an answer.
But to stay with it any longer, without focussing on the escape plan, feels foolish.
Anyway, happy Saturday.

Did you ever have a look at the excellent #documentation of #Purism products?
One of the products of Purism is the #Librem5. The Librem 5 is a #Linux phone that runs the #PureOS operating system.
This phone is built up from the bottom to provide #privacy and software #freedom. No #surveillance by the manufacturer, free and #opensource (#FOSS) is their standard.
