Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.
Quite possibly a luddite.

Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?
I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.
A worthy cause - keep it up!
The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy’s couch gag.
A fun industry fact: Have A Cigar was sung by Roy Harper, as he happened to be in the studio and the members of Floyd thought he could be a good fit. Roy Harper is perhaps more known in the mainstream through the Zeppelin song Hats Off to (Roy) Harper than through his own recordings, though he’s still alive and active.
Harper didn’t feel like he was appropriately compensated for his work on Have a Cigar, which is ironic considering the overall thematic.
Gillian Welsh - Everything is Free.
Great song about the difficulties of making a living off music now that everything is available for nothing. Father John Misty recorded a version when he was invited to the Spotify Sessions, which was a nice little fuck you to the people inviting him.
The world is full of surprises!
Let’s see if Loops can fill the gap. Not sure if an open source alternative could generate enough hype to be viable - maybe if TikTok is banned in the US or something.
It’s just an app, yeah.
OpenStreetMaps is amazing, but it is a map, not a whole ecosystem like Google Maps is. As a map I find it’s often better than Google Maps, but what is still lacking are good front-ends implementing a wide range of functionality in a user friendly way.
On desktop I often use GNOME Maps, but it leaves a lot to be desired still and is obviously intended for Linux users running GNOME.
Not happy with OrganicMaps? It’s my personal favourite at least, and completely open source. Probably depends what your needs are. :)
Indeed, thanks!
It should certainly spice up performances of John Cage’s As Slow as (legally) Possible.
I’m sure you’re aware of it already, but WineHQ provides a good overview over which software runs well under WINE. :)
Very educational, thanks for sharing!
You go to @potus and follow him from there. :)
What a sad faith for a website named after the glorious Dodo.
But Twitter used to have a monopoly, and it doesn’t any more.
I can now follow an official white house account directly from Kbin, whereas yesterday i would have had to sign up for either Twitter or Threads. That makes a difference. :)
Well, the ones that federate with Meta will still be federated with those who don’t. So it’s really no different from what the Fediverse is already: Fragmented by design.
In addition to what’s already mentioned in the comments, shout out to Inkscape. I guess it’s similar to LibreOffice Draw, but I prefer the user experience of Inkscape. Probably more for single-page PDFs.
Yeah, the zoomers I know who make an effort with regards to fashion all dress in a very fun way. I dig it.
If I’m upset by it it’s just because young people are not wearing the same clothes as me and more, implying that I’m getting old. It stings a little.
