# permacomputing & postmarketOS #

@offline
Lichtenrader Str. 49

Artist and Designer Chaline Bang ( @chalinebang ) will talk about her personal adventures and collective experiments in permacomputing. She is a member of the Rotterdam-based research group _permacomputing evenings_ and will share how they learned to build servers out of obsolete smartphones using postmarketOS. The group conducted experiments into practical techniques and aesthetic approaches as well as organizing public events with outside researchers.

Long time no see!

Inspired by some tech bro saying their algorithm found this writing so awful it couldn't process it. I decided to have a read. It's wonderful. Well written and interesting.

What's more. It made me think about door knobs and handles. Everywhere I've ever lived has had handles. To the point I've always thought lever style door handles were the norm. Door knobs are rare. So rare, that at a friend's house recently. I couldn't work out how to open the front door...

...what's a good Adobe alternative for reading and signing PDFs? 🥹

xournal, okular, and LibreOffice writer all can sign documents digitally. Okular perhaps the easiest for PDF files, followed by Xournal.

Obsidian should first make the browser extension useful. Then we think about plugins. Look at Joplin's extension. 😀

"The 1950s is an idealized era in the American imagination, and also an era of great prosperity. But there is also has a dark reality behind the shiny facade - alcoholism, abuse, depression and repression - and a regimented social and legal structure that relegated housewives to the status of indentured servitude."

in reply to Muse

I would say yes and no. There were definitely fewer societal options for women then, better now..but still not totally genderless....
in reply to Muse

Many of the women of the 1950's had been Rosie The Riveters just a few years earlier.


I love this little guy so much!

vi can't be simple, even old farts who worked with it for decades are sometimes lost with how it works, it just doesn't care about you potentially making mistakes while using it, being efficient with it requires strong discipline for little reward, it's not like it's the only text editor around...

@Noam נעם You don't give your dog five thousand kisses on the head?!!!
in reply to Muse

That part is fine (although I don't). It's the contorting myself for a pet in a way you wouldn't do for a person. Not gonna happen, dogdog!


Flame lily. Proof that I intended to shoot flowers.



Let’s find out if we’ve made some progress on our blind experience in @elementary OS over the last year! 😊

Completely unrelated to OP, but does your Mastodon client open the quote posts in the client, or does it open a new page with the original link?

I ask because the Akkoma FE opens them in a new page and it’s annoying.

I’m going to Arctangent festival later this year and there is no cell signal so I’m taking these three Heltecs and giving two of them to close friends so I can find them at the festival!

I’m going to be running Meschore on all three (my experience of Meshtastic is it sucks all of the air out of the room and good luck sending a message to any of those contacts you found).

So if anyone else is going and wants to hop on the same mesh, this is your heads up!

#lora #meshcore #atg #arctangent

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron AliExpress is your best bet for getting them cheap, other than that eBay. I’d advise looking for ones that come with one of the little antennas and also the correct jst connector for a battery. I can share the listing for the last two pack I got if you like.

I hope it’s a good idea at the festival itself - there’s only one way to find out!

Dawwe! Saw a cute little brown poodle as well yesterday in St Malo. He was carrying a little ball


I love this guy! He needs his own television mystery show: The Adventures of Monsieur Purr-ot.

I'm lazy af: The one which comes by default. But if I had to choose I'd throw a coin for either KDE or Gnome. Both very lovely and well crafted Desktop Environments and I do not want to favor one over the other. Therefore random it is.
in reply to It's FOSS

Hyprland because it increases the user's speed and is also lightweight.


Looking for a lightweight and customizable Linux experience? See our top 10 distro picks for Xfce:

Cinnamon is based on xfce? First time I hear that. Thought it was derived from Gnome 3 ...
in reply to It's FOSS

Looking for a more convenient desktop capable of working with several and often changing displays? Still lightweight and easy to use, no "slick" desktop? Try Ubuntu Maté!

And here is a list of corporations to boycott!

via @Susan ✶✶✶✶

Democracy Matters :verified:
@DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.social

Corporations that publicly endorsed Trump's megabill. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

in reply to Muse

yeah, UPS and also 3M is everywhere into everything!

Hallo, Welt. 👋

@KIT_Karlsruhe läuft ab sofort auf der eigenen Instanz social.kit.edu. :KIT:

Die Instanz läuft zunächst als Pilotprojekt und dient als Informations- und Vernetzungsplattform für die #Wissenschaftskommunikation von Einrichtungen und Projekten des #KITKarlsruhe. Nach Ablauf der Pilotphase wird entschieden, ob die Instanz dauerhaft weiterbetrieben und für weitere Personengruppen freigegeben werden soll.

Spread the word!

#neuhier - die Instanz. 😜
