@sir Sexy, can't wait to run Sway on my #PinePhone!
@popey I love the fact that the license for this is proprietary! Easily the best app on Ubuntu Touch.
@lunduke
Good luck Bryan!
@lunduke Love it, needs a dark mode though! ;)
We've just crested 15,000 responses for the @ubuntu@twitter.com User Survey ๐ Results are skewing towards desktop (which is great for me) probably thanks to the @omgubuntu@twitter.com coverage ๐ If you've not completed it yet, please do. Any #Linux user feedback is welcome ๐

We are living in an age where everything from clothing to furniture to technology is cheap and disposable. The assumption is that nothing lasts, so one might as well buy the cheapest thing and throw it away when it inevitably breaks. Nowhere is this more true than the phone market, but it's something we want to change with the Librem 5.

@kyle
Thanks for the recommendation!
If you are looking for a recommendation, Catan is always great fun.

Been there! I was trying out a way of running a machine as an OSless box and you boot off of a usb disk but I forgot you need to leave it plugged in when I needed some of the data on another machine.
@readsteven
In a sense, it is. The future of public transport is unlikely to be buses and trains, it's much more likely to be automated ride services. This is already happening in Japan with there self-driving minibuses from rural towns to cities and should make its way to the west.
@Wimpy Nice! What throughput are you getting?
We did it! We came together as a community and met our fundraising goal to defend software freedom from patent litigation.

Next up comes the hard part - winning this lawsuit and setting precedent. Stay tuned for updates as we progress forward

Untangle is one of the reasons why I kept using Linux to begin with. I had a spare machine back in 2008 that was just Ubuntu with sgt-puzzles installed so I could play it.
@lunduke
Dosbox and civ with a usb keyboard and mouse (and monitor if possible).
Just re-upping this offer: because being comfortable with git is a barrier to entry to many FS/OSS projects, and because I care deeply about lowering those barriers, I will tutor anyone who asks for help with git, and/or connect them with any mentor(s) they might prefer.
I'll do this while I put energy and work into making the tool more approachable, and into making better tools and learning paths.
Boosts gratefully appreciated.
@Wimpy I believe it's for embossing paper, kind of like a wax seal.
