If you’re not in my particular niche communities, you might not know about the community that exists around old ThinkPad laptops. But I’m going to tell you about it, because I think it’s awesome!

ThinkPad laptops from years ago are enduringly popular, because they have great support from free software, and they’re extremely repairable.

Not only are new or used parts extremely easy to come by, people are even designing new parts for these old machines, so you can upgrade rather than replace!

Does anyone know any uncensored #F-Droid repositories?
It seems that the "flagship" repo is from now on censored to not include software the maintainers don't like.

No one said it had to be graphical...

Are there some reliable ways how to disable #eCall in cars? Is somebody working on that? It's much bigger issue than some cookies or browser fingerprinting.

God dammit, Google.

We set up a dedicated #fdroid repository for the #35C3 here:

https://fdroid.gitlab.io/35c3/fdroid/repo/

You can get the Fahrplan/schedule app and c3nav from there.

This will be kept up-to-date during the congress!
