@sudo Thanks! I don't spot hoverflies a lot, so I try to give them a bit of attention when I see them.

I don't have a mobile phone because I don't enjoy the idea of being contactable when I'm not at my desk or within earshot of my landline. I don't want the intrusion or the distraction of anticipating intrusion when gardening, walking, cycling, etc. I don't enjoy the idea of contributing to demand for battery production or embracing the hardware churn that the mobile industry is anchored around

I read a couple of articles about the dangers of . This article by the Register makes a really strong case by demonstrating the technical, legal and practical shortcomings of such proposals.

What is your preferred way of securely accessing your Tutanota account? 🤔

For those users out there, what's your reason for using it?

@unfa I just listened to your 'PipeWire (LMC #12)' song via Audius. It was a blast! I doubt there is anyone else who can make listening to all that technical jargon about Linux so much fun. Seriously, I just became your lifelong fan! 😄

Using classes and object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python makes so much sense. It really provides a sweet spot between the complete isolation of functional programming and having no structure at all.

I got encouraged to record a reading of the new lore I drafted for my FPS game called Liblast.

So I have redrafted it once more and gave it a shot! If you like light-hearted science-fiction, FOSS and FPS games, you should find this enjoyable :D

The recording as well as the music were made using Ardour, Arch Linux and various open-source aduio plug-ins.

Flatpak seems to be getting more attention than ever. If you're on the same boat, try these tips: itsfoss.com/flatpak-tips-tweak

I found this interesting article regarding the password vs. passphrase debate.

proton.me/blog/protonmail-com-

The takeaway is basically, given that the password is actually of considerable length, it doesn't matter which one you use.

However, if it's a password that you'll need to remember, it's probably better to use a passphrase. The master password for the password manager you use is a good example. (That's one password it can't remember for you.)

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I have to agree. Flatpak is amazing. It really takes how the Linux community has done things and massively improves it without trying to change it fundamentally. I think that may be why it is winning out against AppImage and Snap.

While they are both great formats and have their own strengths, I think they fail to address their audience and how they prefer to work. It's more or less the same reason why Microsoft Store didn't take Windows users by storm.

@bitwarden Does it matter whether you use a passphrase or a reasonably long password if you use a password manager?

New video! If you're looking to get started with #Linux gaming, but you don't know how to, and everything looks too confusing, this is where you start:

MOD Devices is in big trouble.

The company that broke out with a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014 has been designing and manufacturing (GNU/)Linux-powered devices for musicians, that were running open-source software. The company has contributed to the libre audio ecosystem but the have unfortunately reached a dead end.

@JoshStrobl Is there an email address I can use to contact the Solus team? I want to delete the account I made on the Solus Forum and there doesn't seem to be an option to do that.

Do you have Codeberg account?
