How about instead of corporations clothing random idiots in their advertising in exchange for flooding FOSS maintainers with garbage, we provided strong mentorship to a new generation of engineers under the tutelage of maintainers whose sustainable careers are guaranteed by the direct financial support of those same corporations?
@q
Exactly. I was (and still am) really hoping to transfer my Google voice number to some Librem One voice service, but seeing this makes me worry about the solvency of @purism .
Paying $35/month for unlimited with T-mobile, but maybe I'd consider this **if** my carrier starting sending me targetted ads. (Number porting is a must though, maintaining 2 phone numbers is hard enough)
@jameschip
It's marginally related to your toot I replied to.
The question was posed mostly for effect, and does not necessarily need an answer. If you were also curious, you could boost it.
@jameschip
Many use a google email address to create an account anywhere. Though I guess @sir would say you don't need an email address to form online friendships if you just use IRC.
@jameschip
Are there any mastodon/fediverse servers which don't require an email address to sign up?
@kline
You use google as your search engine. What did you expect?

This is simultaneously my first Pokemon comic... and my first C comic.
Big day. Big, big day.

Also, is there a reason that you've done `git config user.email "na"`

The world would be a better place where, when someone encounters something confusing or which doesn't meet their preconceptions, they first tried to learn and understand it before rewriting a bunch of software and shoving all of their notions of correct into the domain
This one is kind of subtle so to be clear I'm talking about the influence of windows and mac on linux

Anbox on the Librem 5

"Anbox now runs on the Librem 5, getting you access to many additional free software apps that are packaged only for Android."

I like the other one better.
I think because when the gradient follows the movement, there's more contrast.
@c
I would hope amoral. I think of Martin Luther chasing the devil away "with a fart"... but then again, reverence for the devil is most certainly immoral. I think we can apply some logical fallacy to this point...

Today in The Bookseller - the UK's trade magazine for the bookselling industry - I published "Inaudible," in which I unpack my reason for foregoing hundreds of thousands of dollars by refusing to allow Audible to put DRM on my audiobooks.
