1:1 calls, sharing is available through their WebRTC implementation. Group calls if they’re still using Jitsi are done through Jitsi, which has support for them

Gnome Health and my GNU Health works well. Linux only though

Element meets all of that criteria

The two most common sources of microplastics that enter your body are from the vessels you eat/drink from, and from particles in the air from things like clothes, carpets, furniture, linens.

How to avoid? Use stainless steel, aluminum, copper, (or other metals), ceramic, or glass storage vessels for things like water (including your Brita) for warming things in the microwave, or for storing food, and reduce buying things in plastic if you plan on keeping them there for awhile (eg glass ketchup bottle). Replace any plastic water pipes in your wall with good ol copper. My main water vessels are all stainless steel.

For particulate, consider air filtration, buy clothes/furniture/carpets made from natural animal/ sources like cotton, wool, bamboo, avoiding plastics like polyester. That includes your scrubbing utensil for dishes. Your carpets are probably made with some sort of plastic, so if it’s too much to do hardwood, or replace with a natural fibre, the Dyson vacuums are good at getting out loose microplastics.

Be warned, one time I almost bought a stainless steel cup from a reputable retailer, and upon further investigation it was just plastic with a steel coating… Yep, made in Communist China…

Sounds like a Librem 5. Am currently typing from one.

Just block the hexbear.net and lemmy.ml instance subs that show up in ALL, and it makes a much more pleasant experience

Default Gnome apps work well, but you’ll need to revert to an earlier version of Gnome Todo/Tasks before it became endeavour, as they had subtasks, but unfortunately removed it with the newer version.

I am using a Librem 5

PineTime

A GUI option in the Settings app to limit charging to 80%, extending the life of the device.

I walk through some neighbourhoods with many high-risk apartments, and there is so much interference from all the Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, and other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz, that even the best wireless headphones skip & stutter playback.

It also takes so much longer to switch wireless headphones to a different device, especially when they all compete to connect to the headphones.

Let me make the decision when to use wireless, don’t make it for me. A DAC USB-C dongle is dumb.

Both GNOME & KDE already have builds you can do this with. E.g. Mobian, which uses a lot of the work Purism has done with PureOS, is working to make even default Debian work. You can install Android apps with Waydroid, and install it on Android devices like Pixel, OnePlus, in addition to Linux native devices.

Pfizer spent $2 billion dollars in R&D just in 2021 on the drug. The US government & public agencies overall funded $35 million for help with clinical trials. I don’t think it’s intellectually honest to claim that the majority of R&D costs was directly paid by public grants and taxpayer funded research, which is money spent without the expectation of any produced product in hand.

The US government helped speed up the process, reducing R&D costs with the emergency use authorization, and had a contract of $5.3 billion to help buy tens of millions of doses for Americans. I suppose you could make the argument that some of that indirectly helped fund R&D, but then so does every other non-American customer when they pay for a product, which is how the system is supposed to work.

Only point I’d add is drugs cost more than they are to produce because of R&D costs, which must be recuperated. If costs are high, and volume is low, it means larger markup over the cost to manufacture.

OVOS & Neon are MyCroft’s successor. They work well, and can even plug into LLMs
