Introducing appimage-manager a "package manager" for #AppImage

https://appimagecrafters.github.io/appimage/2020/08/07/appimage-manager.html
#GNU #LINUX

Great alternatives to Google Maps that use #OpenStreetMap data:

- Qwant Maps: website, has directions. Highlights the fact that data is from #OSM, providing links to view and edit the data.
https://www.qwant.com/maps
- F4map: website, 3D views of cities.
https://demo.f4map.com/
- MAPS.ME: mobile apps with a neat vector renderer. Minimalist. Works offline. More obviously profit-oriented.
- OsmAnd: mobile apps with lots of features. Offline too. (Too?) many customisations and options available.

@yarmo I 100% think you should use font families and let the user decide for themselves and not force them to download extra things just to pretty your site up a bit.

TIL: In Firefox dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled can be used to prevent websites from blocking your paste (e.g. for a login form).

#Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested.

@blizzz equally there are these tools that come to mind:

Welcome to all the new (soon-to-be) #PinebookPro and #Pinephone owners! We've got a blog post for you with the basics of what you need to know, and where to find more information or help, should you need it.

Contact sales@pine64.org and you should be able to pay in a different fashion! I know for a fact a few people have paid by wire transfer, for example.

We're working on having other options on the store, but there's many issues to be overcome.

@theprivacyfoundation Usability of the hardware is ready for daily use. Software isn't quite there, but UBports is very close to ready, and should be near perfect in the coming weeks.
