Day 3, Cop26. A fleet of Mercedes (petrol & diesel, not electric, we checked) ferries delegates from city centre hotels. At just one hotel we counted 60 cars waiting. The journey can be accomplished in 15 mins by electric bus or train or 20 mins on foot. But cows are the problem.
@admin How do I apply for registration at your pleroma instance please. I found a registration page but it errors with a 400 code!

Today I'm starting a new Freedom Project.
Four projects under one roof.
First, a secure OS to run from USB for doing "internet stuff annonymusly".
Same OS to run on mobile phone - pinephone to start with.
A secure (as is possible) mobile NAS for the home/office
A mobile webserver.
And a maybe a fifth of a universal mesh network protocol for a private (as not in the hands of large corps) interent.
Exciting times.

Congratulations to @PINE64 for the #pinephonepro, the new device has a lot of potential (support GLES 3.2, Vulkan, OpenCL), maybe Linux phone games soon?
It's also mindblowing that they managed to sneak the #pinebookpro SoC into a device.
