I never knew how to put it into words. There was something powerful distilled in places that spent decades alone, silently deteriorating, that made me feel I could almost make out through the shimmering mirage of the waking world. I was watching these places go somewhere, become something, but it wasn't time yet for me to see it. It ached to be so close to something I could never define.
This should be the top story on every news outlet...
"Scientists say planet in midst of sixth mass extinction, Earth's wildlife running out of places to live"

Are you feeling lonely during the festive season? Have you tried the hashtag #JoinIn?
It works like this:
- During Xmas period, or any time, write about what you're doing and include the tag #JoinIn. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate or impressive!
- Search for (or follow) the tag #JoinIn, reply to other people's posts with that tag.
I know it sounds kind of simple, but it's worth trying!
I'm going to be on my own this year due to ongoing pandemic, but will see you at #JoinIn ☕
Congrats #Flathub for reaching 2000 apps!

It is great to see Valve heavily investing in Linux and narrowing the gap with Windows. An excerpt of the recent TheVerge states
"Griffais says the company is also directly paying more than 100 open-source developers to work on the Proton compatibility layer, the Mesa graphics driver, and Vulkan, among other tasks like Steam for Linux and Chromebooks."

@purism I hope there is a plan to take advantage of the discord with Twitter to market the Librem One. There is definitely a need for supported Mastodon servers and the Librem One is the best out there.
