I ran Arch for years, but eventually I got tired of having to periodically spend hours figuring out how to fix a broken update or a busted AUR package.
I've since moved on to LMDE7 because I just want my computer to "work" - I don't want to have to work extra hard to make that happen. Sorry Arch!

There's only one ( 1 ) cross-platform #FOSS browser that comes with sane privacy defaults including non-Big Tech search engine and adblocker.
I'd love to be proven wrong.
Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.
One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

The open source vim-like spreadsheet program sc-im is wonderful to work with. If you use Vim regularly, it quickly becomes intuitive.
sc-im is entirely viable as a LibreOffice Calc or Microsoft Office Excel alternative in the terminal. It even supports embedded Lua scripting. It's a one-man passion project that really needs more hands.

Out of the many brilliant #FOSS tools out there, ZDNet’s Jack Wallen picks seven he considers so good he’d gladly “throw down some cash“.
And guess what? Nextcloud is one of them. Well, we wouldn’t settle for less 😉

I started a pol.is conversation on the topic "Fediverse acceleration(?) " ⬇️ (You don't need an account)
pol.is is a FOSS web-app to help find consensus global & subgroup opinions within a set of participants 🤝
I've heard a lot about it over the years, but have had no experience with it. It looks like you rate statements positively 👍 or negatively 👎 and can write your own ✍️ After 7 participants, report data should become available.

Top 5 FOSS Philosophies Creatives Should Embrace
Open source is more than a collection of tools—it’s a mindset that empowers creative professionals to work with autonomy, resilience, and community.Theena Kumaragurunathan (It's FOSS News)
Cancel culture at it‘s finest. People have to stop putting all of the weight in single persons political or personal views.
That sucks sooooo hard!
@frameworkcomputer is cool, @hyprland is probably cool (don’t use it), #FOSS is cool, #Linux is cool. Even #microsoft is cool from time to time, even though their products are mostly not.
Stop bitching around for every shitty detail.
Your closed ecosystem might be closing your mind too. Here’s what to do.

New blog post on #onboarding in #FOSS projects, reflecting on the "Pull Request Hack":

The Pull Request Hack is not enough
Years ago, I read The Pull Request Hack, a blog post advocating for a radical way of collaborating on FOSS: “Whenever somebody sends you a pull request, give them commit access to your project.” The post is really worth a read.Antonin Delpeuch
WeTransfer changed its terms to allow using your files to train AI. After users protested, they softened the language. But the rights they claim are still broad.
At @xwiki we believe privacy should be built in, not patched after backlash. Your content should stay yours.
Open tools like @CryptPad , @nextcloud and OnionShare put you in control.

But.. This requires users to login with the very proprietary github and it pushes forward proprietary extensions from the proprietary github marketplace, not so #foss then 😀
