There's a world of difference (to my well-being and mental health, if nothing else) between working with, or even just talking with, people who are helpful, supportive, and constructive even when they disagree or have criticisms, and those who mostly, or even just often, just raise problems and point out flaws (even when, in their hearts, they mean well). The flood of negativity wears me down.

As anticipated in the poll of last week, I'm currently developing an unified resource tells you if your #smartphone or smartwatch is able to boot any (and what) kind of #Linux, with information on its current level of support (alpha to daily driver) and also aimed (in the limits this field allows) at relatively inexperienced users.

More details, and hopefully an usable/useful release, in the next days/weeks!

I'm really getting a kick out of producing the "Weekly Tech News" with my bud, @gbryant.

It's short. It's tech news. It's... just goofy. Makes me smile.

Google’s new reCAPTCHA has a dark side https://www.fastcompany.com/90369697/googles-new-recaptcha-has-a-dark-side

This is ridiculous! Frankly speaking, Google's reCAPTCHA v3 is going to be a tracker script on EVERY SINGLE PAGE of a website, it's going to collect and analyze user's behaviors, and is supposed to determine whether the request is unwanted by some machine learning algorithms... 🤮 Totally insane.

software license idea:
Copying is expressly prohibited _with_ author's permission. You must steal this work. Don't tell me you've taken it. Take reasonable precautions to prevent me from knowing you've used it. Brag about your misdeeds at the bar.

if you ever feel like you haven't achieved anything in life, lean back and realize you're a monkey in a t shirt and you're doing pretty good from that angle.

*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*

The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.

Linlap.info is an attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.

Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!

Any help appreciated!

Facebook recently argued in court that privacy on their platform does not exist, but at the same time tried to declare their stance as a privacy protector...

Confidential mode? Hrm.

"Much like how Google Chrome's Incognito mode doesn't totally prevent third-parties from seeing the websites you visit, Confidential mode doesn't keep the content of your emails from Google itself." https://www.mic.com/p/gmails-confidential-mode-isnt-as-private-as-it-seems-according-to-experts-18136277

drebrez got a 5.1.0 kernel (with minor patching) running on the Galaxy Nexus - and he started with nothing but forced reboots and kernel panics, then worked his way up to the display and earphone audio!

It's time to grab your favorite drink and celebrate this tale and a lot more with us in the two years of postmarketOS blog post:

Yes, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is likely spying on your web browsing, and yes, DuckDuckGo can help you significantly cut down on their ability to spy on you.

@agx @purism are there plans to make that Quake II demo available (repository / PureOS store)?

I think it would be a very cool way to show off the capabilities of the device to friends.
Who doesn't like a nice 3D demo? 😍
A more family friendly alternative also wouldn't hurt 😉

This morning, I plugged in a USB cable on the FIRST TRY!!!

I know!! I thought it was impossible too!!

Next attempt I'll take video, but the concentration and skill level required here are almost superhuman, and a positive result is nearly a once in a lifetime experience!
