@petrichor this would definitely help as I usually only use they and that can also be for multiple people.

@uoya unlike Intel, Apple is not incentivised to make sure code written for an old processor works on the new processor. Planned obsolescence

@uoya the software my company writes does not work on the M1 and we need to do a lot of work. So a lot of old software will not work. When the M2, M3, MX comes out, will your hardware and software be supported?

Dear doubters, it is now 10 months of global vaccination. More than 6 billion doses have been administered. We know about all the common and rare side effects. #GetVaccinated. It is safe. And it stops the pandemic. Please do your part, just as billions have already done.

@devinprater good or bad, due to EU regulation Apple's next phone will have USB C.

@blindscribe after listening I watched a few shows with audio description. Brooklyn 99 had 10 words the whole show, nothing. Travelers on Netflix was good. But it missed some of the emotion on screen and the directive stern voice pulled me away from the story. If producers put more into the budget, could audio description be more like a narration throughout the show?

Are you a software maintainer? Please upload your releases with source code to archive.org/details/software and make this a part of your release process. This will ensure that anyone wanting to use your software in the future will be able to find it. Please boost.

@juh @blindscribe if I had this I would not have deleted my Facebook accounts. I lost contact with a few people, but my life is better without it.

@blindscribe @emacsen to screen reader only users I bet any Linux distro or open source software is like it was in the 2000's. "Cool to tinker with but I have work todo, back to my normal PC". Not saying other software is a dream to use.

@emacsen @blindscribe sorry but how can you get offended by tech bro? You either use it as an insult yourself or you have a small definition of the word. Blindscribe wants to care about FOSS but as they're saying it can be very difficult when the software takes a long time to use and is complicated. Especially for people who tech in general is low on their priority.
Replace female with disabled people and how well are you supporting them?

@samuraikid@freeatlantis.com @dsfgs I haven't watched it yet but people have recently invented recyclable wind turbine blades. Reflecting light is the definition of not heating. A lot of people are trying to increase the recyclability of solar panels. The destruction from one coal plant is a lot more then the equivalent solar or wind plant.

On the plus it's good to have a lot of information in the 'same place' and in a standard manor. I'm guessing that's why the UI/UX has not been improved over the decades.

The worst thing on Linux is 'man' I hate nearly everything about this program.

@exalm@floss.social you should start a quarterly bingo with your fellow maintainers. Everyone creates a card with the common sayings they receive.
Hopefully, it could help take the edge off and not animosity to community members.

@be @dos @kop316 @linmob @PINE64 @purism I feel like this is a good reason to relabel your master branch 'development' and say if the build I not from a release branch it's not supported.

@schratze this sounds like heaven up in the clouds 😇

@be @chartier what about make a Netflix doco?
It's too new age for free-to-air
