Someday, your favorite band, songs, or albums could just disappear from Spotify or Tidal or YouTube Music, or ALL the streaming platforms.

Buy their music. Physical or DRM-free digital.

One of the things I like about using / is that to the normal computer user its UI is a "password"

have you met anyone from the #fediverse in person?

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org You have a Gentoo system... curious, do you have a way to count how many lines of code your entire system is made out of?

Entire tournament tree for the Linux Distribution Tournament.

Congrats to Debian for winning this one!

If you want a link to be clickable on here, remember to include https:// at the beginning when you're writing it.

Twitter automatically turns any phrase with a dot in the middle into a link, but that doesn't happen on Mastodon etc because sometimes people want to include dots in phrases that aren't links.

(This also applies to other kinds of link protocol such as gemini:// etc)

I have a habit of saying ouch when I bump into something even when I don't get hurt.

I'm entered in a college competition!
I'm actually not that good (outside of the living room :) ); I'm a little above a level-8 auto. But I'll see how long I can hang on!

Hello World!

GIMP project now gets a new official Mastodon account! 🥳

We can see the info leaked somehow (we had not announced it and already got 150+ followers in 2 days) 😂.

GIMP news will be coming here too, from now on!

Let's do a little code for fun!
What one-liner (in a language of your choice) can you think of that produces the string "unix" on a terminal (an xterm-compatible one, say)?

A simple starter:
puts("clip\bx\run");

If you have an indepdently hosted WordPress blog, you can turn it into a Fediverse server using a special plug-in. This means that people on Mastodon etc. can follow your blog and interact with it.

You can install it on your blog by logging into the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, then search for "ActivityPub". The plug-in you want is called "ActivityPub" and is by Matias Pfefferle.

You can also see more info about it at wordpress.org/plugins/activity and the author is on the Fediverse at @pfefferle

Once it's installed, you can find the blog's Fediverse address in your WordPress dashboard's Users section, it's listed at the bottom of the user's profile options. You can copy and paste this address into the search box on Mastodon etc to interact with that user's blog.

You'll also see an ActivityPub section in the Settings menu.

Note : This plug-in only works on independently hosted WordPress-powered blogs. It doesn't work on Wordpress.com free blogs.

I love my netbook, but it's small (that's why I bought it!) and all the keys on the keyboard are close to each other, so sometimes I press the power button instead of the backspace and turn the device off. It's annoying...

To disable this key on systemd systems just edit the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file, uncomment the HandlePowerKey line and change the command to ignore the key, so:

HandlePowerKey=ignore
