@kop316 Ahh. Yeah I would be nervous using a magnetic phone mount on a bicycle.

@kop316 Since I added a metal sticker on the back of my phone to mount it to my laptop docks, I added strong magnetic phone mounts to my car as well. They seem to hold things pretty well.

@roland @purism We have been open and very public in our thought processes to determine if it were possible to do marketing in the modern age in an ethical way:

puri.sm/posts/is-ethical-adver

After much thought (and community feedback) we codified some ethical marketing principles we follow (including how we use UTMs).

How we use UTM is not much different from HTTP referrer, it just makes it a bit easier for us to organize data in Matomo. Remove it if you want.

@gardiner_bryant Based on what I know of royalties, purchasing physical media (along with attending shows and buying merch) is a much better way to support artists (and authors btw) than streaming or digital media.

You would think the extra costs behind physical media would result in lower royalties to creators but at least in my experience the opposite is true.

Police are showing up at the doors of protestors in China who have demonstrated against the lockdowns there. They tracked them down using their phones and their faces: nytimes.com/2022/12/02/busines

The Brewer's Advent calendar from Costco is a personal treat every holiday season. Each day there's a new obscure German beer I can't find locally. 23 more days of this!

My 3D printer has been busy making things small enough to fit in my son's advent calendar. For starters I went with tiny articulated snakes.

@yaelwrites @sbourne I keep meaning to pitch when I see CfP and then it slips my mind! I have enjoyed it when I was there.

@yaelwrites @sbourne I've felt that way in the past too. These days I just try my best to accept generosity when it comes my way, and use it as motivation/inspiration to up my own generosity game.

@roland @purism Our UTM codes are only so we know which *platform* incoming traffic comes from (like referral links in web server logs). If you inspect them you can see there are no random strings or attempts to identify/track individuals.

@Texou @purism I agree that accessibility still needs a lot of work on free software, especially on mobile. It is something we think is important and want to continue to improve as we can!

@Wildbill @socallinuxexpo I guess it will depend on what talk (if any) they accept! Maybe after last year they are (rightly) concerned about explosions.

@kyle @socallinuxexpo What is the plan to ensure folks are paying attention in your talk for 2023? Gotta surpass this...

Whew, just under the radar but I managed to submit my @socallinuxexpo talks. If you are procrastinating like I did, you only have until TOMORROW to get your talks in!

I've been trying to re-enable power management for the modem on the #librem5 running #postmarketOS, but was plagued by issues with the modem resetting immediately every time is suspended/resumed.

Once again, the product of hours of git bisecting and testing is a patch that's less than 1 word 😅

My partner surprised me with an advent calendar and I can't stop laughing 😂
