@mhoye @antifuchs what don't you like about the software? So far I've only tried SimpleScan which amazingly found my LiDE 100 (I think) and started scanning at the push of a button. Multiple pages into PDF, or single pages saved as the usual suspect formats in a straightforward manner. Good defaults for text vs photo.
Having ignored scanners since the xsane days, this seemed too easy.

Did you know that Mozilla is collecting a public domain dataset of annotated speech? This will help develop open source voice-controlled programs. The Common Voice project still needs volunteers both to donate their voice, and to validate other people's recordings.
I just validated a bunch of recordings (English and German) and am happy to report that there are now quite a few female speakers donating.

@z428 Funny you should ask :) - we use BigBlueButton & Jitsi Meet, Rocket.Chat, NextCloud + OnlyOffice, and Mailcow - I just wrote this up for people's reference : ) - https://tech.oeru.org/working-home

@kyle in that case, start an ale to tide you over!
@kyle only 3-4 weeks before it's ready. If possible, start a lager at the same time :)

I feel like reminding people that we've just passed the 1 year anniversary of a Fox News host telling the world he doesn't wash his hands because germs don't exist since he can't see them.

On being yourself
@dthompson you had me other than anise
@shouko built-in integration with a nextcloud server that they also box up so you can easily host it yourself.
Continuous updates on devices that LOS has long ago abandoned.
Stripping out the extra Google checks, DNS usage & interactions from LOS and other applications.

For the past 18 months or so, I've had the privilege of participating in a pilot of Rocket.Chat by GC - Government Canada. Their IT folk are taking their Digital Nations ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_9 ) ambitions seriously... Interestingly, their thousands of users *prefer* Rocket.Chat over Slack & MSFT Teams.

RT @scottygb@twitter.activitypub.actor
This is actually valuable advice, and I reckon applies to Twitter as well.
@martijnbraam there ya go debunking conspiracy theories
@martijnbraam it looks like it might be a conspiracy to sell expensive cables that never get used beyond their most basic function
@joshmillard sounds like fun & games until some idiot cuts you off.
@Gina those stands aren't very ergonomic. The keyboard angle makes them unusable for any duration. The frugal option is a ream of printing paper to elevate, and maybe a cheap external keyboard to ease the typing.

Given that we're in a time where toilet paper people are going "oh my goodness I have to buy up all the toilet paper before SOMEONE ELSE buys it!" I think it's time we had a full and frank discussion about bidets, bum sprayers and other more effective ways of keeping yourself clean.
The truth is that of all the most common methods around to clean your bum, toilet paper is the most expensive, uncomfortable, unhygienic and environmentally unfriendly. Alternatives follow in next toot.

I want to live in a world where "what if the internet goes down" is like "what if the freeway is closed". We should still be able to network with our families, neighbors, and communities, and I think it's a mistake to depend on the Internet for those things.
Working on SSB has been really eye-opening to see how much we can do with software that's DIY / P2P / E2E / friend2friend, and I'm really optimistic that we can build and organize small friendly networks that never truly go down. ❤
