The "From Mac to Linux" Issue
What you are about to read is a #Linux magazine—with a focus on #Apple computers running #macOS. I know, it's weird. It's extremely weird—like cats and dogs living together weird.

Someone over on the tweeters said something that got me thinking...
Before "Google" existed, software was undeniably:
- faster
- more memory efficient
- less DRM-y
- less dependent on services
Maybe we were better at making software before we could "Google" things.
Maybe there's no causation there at all. But, I tell ya, the correlation is bonkers strong.
Personal resolution: search for video content on Peertube/LBRY before jumping straight to invidio.us
Suggestion for Youtubers: upload your content to other platforms as well as Youtube, and encourage your viewers to watch you there instead.
As viewers, we can vote with our views by watching our favourite content creators on those platforms, and if possible make small donations to compensate for the lost ad revenue.

Guess which two apps arrived in F-Droid today? #libremmail #libremsocial
There's a little bug https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/issues/353 that means new apps aren't linking properly on the #fdroid website https://search.f-droid.org/?q=librem , but you'll find them via the client!

@lunduke Facebook is evil, and at LEAST my family don't use that terrible platform.
*(Can you tell I'm tooting while I watch? 😀 )
@lunduke said this would be, or is about to become something awesome. I didn’t want to miss out on that, so I got onboard as well. Not quite Facebook yet. 😁 6000 people and counting. But it could get there eventually.
