20 years ago, if you ate dinner under the unblinking eye of a CCTV, it was because you were housed in a supermax prison. Today, it's because you were unwise enough to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for "home automation" from Google, Apple, Amazon or another "luxury surveillance" vendor.

It was 1939 and this technology created 3D sculptures. It took decades later to duplicate this lost technology.

Specifically the Romans measured things in "libra" (which is why the symbol for Libra is a scale), but people under the Romans who used Proto-Germanic heard the phrase "libra pondo" (Latin for "the weight measured in libra") and just started being like "haha oh yeah this thing is X pondo heavy". So the word "pound" is derived from the Latin word for "weight" ("pondus") but we use "lb" because that's how the Romans abbreviated libra, the actual unit of measurement they used.

Tip #7
Edit your PDFs directly in #libreoffice writer.
When exporting a text document to PDF, tick the "Hybrid PDF" option. This will create a PDF that also contains the .odt file inside. This allows you to either open the PDF in any document viewer as a PDF or in a text editor as an .odt file without any formatting loss. Try it for yourself and never lose the source file to a PDF!

@brennen Frazey Ford (but that's admittedly a bit of a cheat). Wailin' Jennys, Cowboy Junkies if you stretch, maybe Kathleen Edwards or Emmylou Harris.

what means something to me is when people actually jump in and say something when the bad thing is happening, instead of remaining silent to avoid personal blowback and then expressing solidarity behind closed doors

@joao @dos @silmathoron danger of being like OS/2 which was a "better windows than windows"... So lack of effort put into native applications. Hard to justify building twice when you can hit an even bigger market by targeting the lowest common denominator.

Hope that the libhandy adoption and similar builds faster from the other side.

@gael first line is "Top Free Apps", but that highlights popular non-libre but no-cost applications such as TikTok. Would be nice to have the default be encouraging privacy respecting (and ideally FOSS for verifiability) apps at the head, but still let people see the others a little lower down

@dthompson the system I have has the one that triggered subtly flash while all the others stay solid. A test on that one resets. Might be similar for you?

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with a slow Internet connection to see who they really are.

What's cool in the #XMPP community:

It's a community.

Even the vendors or software developers are reboosting the release notifications of new software version from another vendor/developer to make it spread to a wider audience.

I like that community! :-)
