  My great uncle served in WW II. He wasn’t exactly “reasoning” with the nazis.

  It would be nice to see the European governments start a genuine effort on funding open source development, and start laying the foundation for a migration to their own Linux distro. Microsoft isn’t trustworthy. Hell, most American big tech is untrustworthy. Moving your government offices to an in house developed OS is going to be paramount for their security in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a YUGE fan of FreeTube, a cross-platform YT client for the desktop. You can subscribe to channels, create, save, import, and export playlists…and no. Ads. Tis the bees knees.

  And just a friendly reminder to donate to your favorite FOSS projects.

  I’ve been running Pop!_OS with the Cinnamon desktop environment on my machine at home for the past 3 months. I’m very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. All my games run in Steam or Lutris.

  Fuck Microsoft.
