What are our customers saying about migrating from #Microsoft365? 💬

Since the start of 2025, migration requests from companies for a secure #OpenSource alternative have tripled. We asked them why. And we wrote an article!

Here is an article about it.

I'm thrilled to share that @start_coop has just been awarded a major grant from Press Forward to support cooperatives in journalism. @medlab will be a partner, alongside co-ops, unions, and more. Want to collaborate? start.coop/shared-media-servic…


This thought provoking article is making me rethink my recent assertion that the Epstein files scandal is distracting us from the "real issues".

>>There’s an incorrect belief that the Epstein case is somehow separate from the real concerns facing America, a conspiracist concoction untethered to reality. But it’s actually about the policy issue I’ve probably spent more time writing on than any other in my career in journalism: the two-tiered system of justice and accountability in America, and the impunity we afford the nation’s elites.<<

Do read the whole thing.

Okay, but can I use it without the VTT at all, or will it just crash again like the last version (I don't have a microphone for this project so I don't want unnecessary AI or VTT modules loaded)? I tried doing a dummy interface method but it didn't work (can you say "hard locked").

I'm still running xfce on my TV box only because I couldn't get bigscreen running without doing a bunch of stuff I don't want to do that only relates to a feature I can't and don't even want to use.

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?

There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: petition.parliament.uk/petitio…

Over 160 games now on our anti-cheat page gamingonlinux.com/anticheat/

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I THINK the page doesn't show them all even if you click "show more" a bunch of times. The notice at the top says "Viewing 50 latest updates" and stuff like, say, Elden Ring, isn't there (which I can't confirm but also can't imagine not being on the list as "works, EAC")

@nazokiyoubinbou Friendly reminder that corporate America can, will, and have gone scorched earth when there’s something they value higher than profits.

For example Walmart shutting down whole stores simply to stop unionization (and their evil propaganda they run for their poor employees).

Can’t do business without banking:(

It has long been curious to me how sex (or even involved romantic relationships) are beyond the pale in video games but ultraviolence is the accepted central premise of the game.

Imagine an Assassin’s Creed where the several thousand body count referred to the number of satisfied sexual partners rather than decapitated guards.

Want to cancel your Adobe subscription but don't want to pay a massive cancellation fee?

1. Sign up for a disposable credit card with a low spending limit (e.g. $5); I use privacy.com/
2. Switch your Adobe billing information to use it; the $1 preauth will go through and your old card will be removed from the account
3. Cancel your account (optional)
4. Cackle for the next 9 months as Adobe repeatedly tells you your account is past-due and it'll be cancelled if you don't pay the fee

People just don't understand. They need the anti cheat otherwise people are going to spin bot, aim bot, wallhack. 😑


This is more of a curiosity, and to see what the bias is here on #Mastodon, so here is a band of characters that might be a potential travel buddy in a month or so.

Have you never ran `yay -Qtd` and removed unnecessary packages?

Electron has a version in the package name for people who need several versions side by side. This means if an app requires electron32, it gets installed as a dependency. Later, if the app switches to requiring electron33, then this version is installed as a dependency. But the version 32 stays installed until you remove it. Use `pacman -Qtd` to find dependencies no package needs anymore.
