Cool! Many years ago, say 2007 or so, Inkscape did have an experimental collab feature. I assume it was too hacky to be kept.

Wollte von Twitter wegkommen, habe hier nach interessanten Accounts gesucht. Direkt festgestellt, dass Querdenken auch auf Mastodon unterwegs ist und kurz verzweifelt. Wer auch immer das lesen mag: Vernünftige, progressive Folgeempfehlungen gerne gesehen, danke 🙃

FWIW, TeamViewer does not require Installation. There's a tar package available that can just be extracted and run with a click (deps must be satisfied)
The QuickSupport package likewise, but less deps and better guidance. Easier than explaining port forwarding on the phone. 😏

Es wäre naiv zu glauben, mit der Abwahl von #Trump könnte sich so etwas, wie die Stürmung des Kapitols nicht wiederholen. Bei den Republikanern ist nichts mehr wie es war. QAnon, antidemokratische Haltungen & offener Rassismus sind heute salonfähig. Mir macht das Angst.

@alcinnz @jollyrogue @theruran There need to be outspoken exemplars who demonstrate that being totally #FOSS is possible. They need to be outspoken, because they're competing against $billions in (generally misleading) marketing from megatech each year. Ideally, their message will be amplified by those who aren't fully #FOSS but are motivated to work that way. Which should be all of us. We all need to recognise that proprietary software is not an acceptable end point.

In 2021, Scotland generated 98.6% of its electricity from renewables.

(It's a pity the BBC makes this out to be a failure as the target was 100%).

I had that many years ago with a very small critter that chose to die inside my screen and look like three dead pixels.

Btw, I'm pretty sure it's less likely to happen in CRTs 😉
