By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.
For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.
Let’s lead by example 🙂

Let's celebrate the occasional small happenstance of wonderfulness, beloved.
Because it makes me stupidly happy when one of my Reddit comments from three years ago, trying to help someone with a library barcode question, suddenly becomes useful to someone two days ago. And they left a little thank you to let me know.
See there? That's the kinda thing that helps promote what I like to call "humanity.” Literally made my day, and I mean that. 😃

CP/M was an operating system developed for Intel, that shaped personal computing as we know it today.
CP/M: An Unsung Architect of Micro-Computing
You may have not used CP/M ever but you should definitely know about it if you take interest in the history of computing.Bill Dyer (It's FOSS)
My very first personal computer. BK 0010-01 (BK 0010 has a membrane keyboard, mine had a mechanical one). Specs:
32Kb memory, 4MHz CPU, 16bit Q-Bus... I had two 5in floppy disk drives connected to it, monitor and a dot matrix printer. I loved it. Part of me wishes I still had it. It didn't have a BIOS per-se, but it had an analog - 8kb of 32 were used as a BIOS.

I’ve had my eye on this project for some time now. We need a good alternative to VSCode.
VSCodium and Code OSS are fine for the most part, but some extensions, such as the CSharp extensions, won’t work without effort. And who knows for how long until M$ makes it near impossible to use outside of VSCode.
I’m currently using JetBrains Rider, but that has telemetry force-enabled for the community version.
I just want to get away from these data-grabbing corpos 😠
