I cannot stand idly by while someone is being bullied over things they have said.

While I comprehend why many are angry with Richard #Stallman over his behavior, I do not believe that to be a valid reason to bully the man. If someone wishes to criticize him, they should do so in a respectful, kind, and persuasive manner.

I will be writing an article on my blog https://stormyknight.xyz detailing my reasoning on this matter and why I have signed https://rms-support-letter.github.io

I will also be creating a video to go along with the article. I am not trying to make a political statement.

am I the only one who thinks this thing with #Stallman being removed could cause the #GNU Project to cease to exist along with anything that depends on it? (Including almost every #Linux distro on this planet)

If the #FSF goes away, then won't the primary source of funding for the #GNU Project disappear? Someone please explain to me what we will do to replace the utilities and libraries developed by the #GNU Project once it is gone.

(Please note I am not trying to support or disavow Stallman)

I am NOT speaking on behalf of the viper-browser project maintainer, but I would love to see that project succeed. If you have a few bucks to spare and you use the viper-browser project, then I recommend sending a few bucks to the project maintainer using the liberapay link found on the viper-browser github page: https://github.com/LeFroid/Viper-Browser

If you need or want Zoom on the Raspberry Pi 4/400 or some other ARM device, then please let the Zoom developers know on this post:

typing this on a raspberry pi 4 (I also have a pi 400 with Manjaro as well) with Manjaro ARM mate, it works like a charm with a slight overclock of course. As I have been able to prove to myself over the past couple weeks, ARM computers on the level of the Pinebook Pro and the Raspberry Pi 4 are definitely enough in terms of computing power for my daily-driving needs.

@martijnbraam @Bobo_PK @PINE64 @postmarketOS

ah ok.

still cool either way though.

@Bobo_PK @PINE64 @postmarketOS

my guess is that a fully free software firmware for the pinephone modem if in the works, but I could very well be wrong here

@kde@mastodon.technology I am very impressed with how well Plasma 5 works on both the pi 400 and rk3399 devices like the RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro. Keep up the good work. I wrote a short blog post detailing my experience with ARM computers so far, but I am thinking that I should write a post going into detail about just how well Plasma 5 works on these low-powered computers.

I am going to be writing a series of articles in the coming weeks and months where I document my experience using ARM devices for day-to-day computing.

here is the first one: http://stormyknight.xyz/view.php?filename=2020_12_19-armcomputing1.md

posted another article about client-server workloads on my website... I guess I should prepare to receive hate-mail for this one. I hope the article provides a ever-so-slightly different viewpoint from the industry standard for web development practices. #WebDev #JavaScript #PHP

Are you tired of your computer not being owned by you, the computer user? If so, then I may have a suggestion in the form of an article: http://stormyknight.xyz/view.php?filename=2020_11_24-computer_user_empowerment.md

Microsoft has seemingly made an oopsie with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. See my article on the subject for my take on the matter: http://stormyknight.xyz/view.php?filename=2020_11_23_minecraft.md

I have my new website up, and I have already uploaded two articles. Should anyone wish to read those articles, you can find them under the articles page on http://stormyknight.xyz

yes that is http not https, I don't require you to enter any information at all on my site. If you wish to send me a comment on an article, then please send me an email (located on the contact page).

@elementary I am thinking about taking on the task of creating Elementary OS 6 builds for the RockPro64 (an SBC offered by Pine64). Would there be any issues with me doing this? (I don't think I will distribute the builds unless you want me to though). I love the idea of using Elementary OS 6 on my Pinebook Pro, but I would like to be able to use it on the RockPro64 as well.

@elementary fantastic. Thank you for all your hard work elementary dev team (and any other contributors). I look forward to developing my app idea on Elementary OS, for Elementary OS, with dark mode support :)

@elementary Typing this using Olifant on my Pinebook Pro from an Elementary OS 6 preview build. (to anyone who wishes to attempt this, do so knowing that EOS 6 is unfinished software so there are bound to be incompatiblities with EOS 5 apps)

The builds may not have the ability to install apps from the AppCenter yet (probably for good reason), but because these apps are open source, there is no reason that I can't go grab the source code of my favourite app and compile it ;)
