Richard Adams, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, John Milton, Arthur Conan Doyle, Tolkien, Samuel Butler, Jonathan Swift, George Orwell, Douglas Adams, Samuel Johnson, Aldous Huxley

If you read through Woolfe's Books & Portraits, you'll get a taste of a lot of really interesting english writers(although some are american). I discovered a bunch through that little book.

Thanks to everyone who came to visit our stand at #fosdem . We showed off a couple of new devices this year like the PineVoice home assistant speaker and the new PineTime Pro prototype. A lot of the discussion topics we had at FOSDEM will make it into a new community blog post. Including what this year will look like considering DRAM prices.

We had a lot of fun meeting you all, safe travels everyone!

This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.

He records them and shares it with the world.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!
