Thanks to loading #Ventoy and a few OS on a USB boot drive, I can use the tool I wrote to enable a persistent desktop or server environment that's both (mostly) #Linux distro-agnostic and hardware-agnostic!
It's still a work in progress, but I'm starting to lean toward supporting more desktop environments than #GNOME and more OS options than #Debian (I'm currently improving #PureOS support). I should probably reconsider renaming the project. 😉
@gnome OSHW mini laptop Pocket Reform launching soon on Crowd Supply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform

ive got a few blog posts bookmarked, but can anyone recommend me writing on how for-profit companies abuse open source? specifically thinking about how they treat it like outsourced labor- relying on public labor for private profits, but other criticisms like patterns of EEE relevant too.
boosts welcome, want to make sure I cite the ppl who are writing abt this.
These "Floppy Disk Costumes" for SD cards by @charlyn are perfect! 🤩

New phone who dis? It's real!
The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big and slightly more specced up sibling - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to dynamically resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got bodyslammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See https://puri.sm/
The new Food Code recognizes that food from retailers can be OK for donation
This treatment in the Food Code is part of the Biden Administration’s National Strategy on #hunger, #nutrition, and #health . The National Strategy provides a roadmap of actions the federal government will take to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030 – all while reducing disparities.
Flathub is soon going to feature verified apps!
I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.
It runs in #GNOME or in a headless #server environment and is easy to configure a local apt-mirror repository, link persistent #VM images, customize package lists, and so on. I've been daily-driving this on my laptops/desktops/servers for 2 years.
A nice perk of using a configuration like this is that it eliminates the need to upgrade your system and be concerned about migration issues. To upgrade, simply re-flash the boot drive to the newer OS version and use the same script to configure it.
I'm happy to formally announce that Wesnoth has joined Software in the Public Interest (SPI) as an associated project.
SPI is now the legal entity responsible for keeping track of money donated to Wesnoth as well as Wesnoth's trademark rather than Wesnoth Inc, which costs significantly less than what it did to have Wesnoth Inc's taxes filed.
Additionally, donations to Wesnoth are now tax deductible for donors in the US and can now be made via the Donate button on https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/wesnoth/.
Passionate about freedom, libre software/hardware, environmental sustainability, and doing the right thing even when it's inconvenient.
