p.s. There are lots of resources for voting in US elections here:

➡️ https://www.vote.org

Vote.org is a non-partisan site which includes advice on how to vote, local voting info for each state, and a national phone hotline to contact if someone tries to stop you voting.

If you want official government info on voting, that's a different site at:

➡️ https://vote.gov

If you have a vote, please use it. Most of the vulnerable people depending on you to stop Trump have no vote in this election (see the post above).

Good luck everyone ❤️

Don't you hate it when climate activists block highways
#Helene #climate

Asheville is over 2,000 feet above sea level, and ~300 miles away from the nearest coastline. No place is safe from climate change.

We all suffer the consequences. We must all take action. We are all in this together.

"EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines."

"EV sales continue to rise, but the last year of headlines falsely stating otherwise would leave you thinking they haven’t. After about full year of these lies, it would be nice for journalists to stop pushing this false narrative that they could find the truth behind by simply looking up a single number for once."

Good article, more good articles

i've mentioned that GNOME Web nightly "feels" way better to use than Web 46, but, here's some actual numbers to put to that feeling

Web 46 vs Web nightly (47 beta) vs Firefox

1 year ago I ditched my Macbook, bought a Framework laptop, and moved to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.

I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck
