Dear @junocomputers if you sell computers and use Free Software Operating systems it is not o.k. to assume you can free ride on community support.

It makes me sad to have mails from users in my inbox that are stuck with an unusable device on a Sunday and are seeking help to get it going again. This is your job.

@bagder Firefox has their telemetry turned on by default too, but you can turn it off, not sure if in Chrome you can turn off all telemetry?

I don't really share my tattoos on social media, but this one seems fitting for mastodon :-) done by my fiancé (as are most). Nice way to play around with colour transitions and lack of outline. Really happy with the result! #Debian #tattoo #colours

it's called a man page because it won't shut up about stuff you already know and doesn't actually have the answer to your question

@purism

@purism congrats I always believed in your mission, and i feel all the De-Googled Android version phones offered to consumers still fall flat compared what you have achieved, a sustainable open source phone that is free/libre of large corporate constrainst and profit objectives that always harms users in the end

@toxi nice! hope they find themselves creating a Linux app one of those days, currently there is only one mapping app that works, pure-maps, no tracking depending on which app you choose.

@dylanmccall Mostly use Files Nautilus nothing special once you get the rawthumbnailer to work
