@Purism Firefox's "containers" for Facebook and other sites would be good to add to the Librem 5 so apps could be containerized so one app couldn't get access to another apps data

@gme @Purism won't the be running -Linux, not -Linux? Are the containers a thing on OS?

@mooshoe @strypey @Purism well that sucks. it's a mediocre phone at best. they'll need something to differentiate themselves from the 1000s of other phones on the market.

@gme @strypey @Purism i mean havent they already done that by making a gnu linux phone

@mooshoe @gme @Purism did that with , but it didn't seem to be enough. That said, my suspicion is that was because Shuttleworth and co. had long since burned off their goodwill with the folks who were most likely to buy a mobile.

@mooshoe @gme @Purism also have their detractors among the software purists (ironically), so it will be intriguing to see whether their mobile devices sell any better. If they're sensible, they set their break-even at a much lower volume of sales than I suspect was relying on to be considered a "success"
