I can't believe it. I've been looking for a great FLOSS dashboard for my browser. And it turns out the one I've been looking for is Renewed Tab by @rubenwardy: renewedtab.com/en/

@rubenwardy is also a lead dev of @Luanti and hosts my kids' favorite game server, Capture the Flag: content.luanti.org/packages/ruโ€ฆ

Thank you for your amazing work!

If you don't mind, a couple feature requests:

- Load a local text file into a widget (I'd love to be able to display my Markdown-structured to-do list)
- A widget for Firefox's Pocket recommendations (which I kinda love even tho I use @wallabag rather than Pocket)

in reply to Nathan Schneider

I LOVE how the search bar works both for searching content on the dashboard and for web search! So clever.

I wrote a book. Itโ€™s called Drystone โ€“ A Life Rebuilt.

If you like:

Non-Fiction (but make it literary)

Stone (but as metaphor too)

Feminism (but quiet and feral)

Men (but as minor characters)

Land (but not romanticised)

Motherhood (but honest)

Then congratulations, this very good book is for you.

Well, went to the doctor because I was concerned about some symptoms. They felt they should send me to the hospital to get some tests where it is free (as opposed to the offices of a specialist). We arrive there just after four. Eight hours later we make some interesting discoveries that will require more investigation. Driving home at 1am we passed by the side of the road a fox, then a bunny, then kangaroos at two different points. Finally, we had to swerve around a wombat. What a night!

@muse - I think I must have been transformed into bacon or a smoked ham: Both of my parents smoked a lot (I'm pretty sure it contributed to the death of my father, my mother is still going reasonably well at 96). My Los Angeles grandparents smoked (but not around us kids). And I grew up in the worst smog area of LA.

I do not agree. Is not about GNU/Linux... It is about the market of hardware unruled for pre-installed software. In my country it is almost impossible to buy a computer without Windows or Mac pre-installed. If you ask for none OS installed, simply there are any discounts.

Linux won't be widely adopted if there's isn't enough market shares.

It was kind of a nightmare upgrading from 29 to 30, but I managed to save my setup without restarting from scratch ๐Ÿ˜‚ . BTW I always upgrade when the oldest stable is EOL
in reply to Nextcloud ๐Ÿ“ฑโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’ป

An update is installed at the earliest after the first patch following a major update. However, I usually also wait until the most necessary third-party apps have received a compatibility update.

Security updates within a version are of course installed immediately.

Thank you very much #OSUOSL for your important work so far. But sorry to say, imo the best would be to move the services to outside the USA. USA is not a reliable region anymore for hosting free and opensource services.

my first ever pull request to the #rust language has been merged! ๐ŸŽ‰

github.com/rust-lang/rust/pullโ€ฆ

it's a documentation change to clarify how async blocks behave in regards to control flow. there was only one requested change, so i did a pretty good job of matching the tone and style of the other docs.

it was really easy to contribute once i found out how to use x.py. strangely enough, there doesn't seem to be an enforced line length limit (at least not for this section of the docs) so i just matched what the surrounding text was doing.

coincidentally, the contributor who reviewed my code is the same person who made the papaya crate i reported a memory safety bug in a month or two ago.

my changes are scheduled to land in rust 1.88, which should release on the 26th of june!

Beatrix Potter is best remembered for her charming tales of Peter Rabbit, but did you know she also studied #science?

Potter collected & examined beetles, butterflies, plants, bird eggs, shells, rocks, fossils & especially fungi. She conducted experiments & wrote a scientific paper with her own illustrations, presented at the Linnean Society of London. However, as a woman in the Victorian era, she couldnโ€™t even attend the meeting.#history #art #books

wouldn't financially sustainable open source software be better than foss?
Don't get why you wouldn't want to financially support all these different great developers that make open source software.

I can't hear this without thinking of a version someone performed at an open mic night at a camp I used to go to. He changed the words to be about camping in bad weather, and it became a favourite.
