Elim the Grim ☕ @elimtychocase@librem.one

Been having some executive dysfunction and general focus issues lately, so last night I stripped my phone down to the essentials. The layout is inspired by this Peter McKinnon video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjdFm9A89pY&t=73s but on Graphene OS instead. This is color, but I'm actually running it in color correction mode with grayscale active, to further limit distracting design aspects.

The WordPress plugin to add ActivityPub is pretty much useless garbage. It doesn't give you a timeline or anything, just creates a username for people to follow. Might as well just publish links manually. Not that I've written a blog post in ages, or even have an active blog page on my site... but I'm considering it.

Going to be using this Librem account to post text based thoughts, links to new writings and boosts. Meanwhile, I've started up a profile on metapixl to treat as IG/TikTok replacement, with photos, videos and possibly vertical stories if I can be bothered. Here's the link: https://metapixl.com/elim_case

Some days I love open source software, particularly Pop OS!, but then I log into my computer and the entire audio volume bar is nowhere to be found, and no sound will come out no matter what I try. Thus I return to Windows once again, just to play my dumb space games with sound on update day.

For those who might be leaning away from the corporate but are still locked into the services portion, like me, I'm going to start sharing some open source applications to try. To start, I just found this in the Pop Shop and since I'm addicted to Apple Music since abandoning the horrible/unethical competition last year, this is a lifesaver for my Linux box, although it appears to have clients for Windows and Mac too! A clever name helps too. https://cider.sh/

Good to see this all getting more traction with the probable downfall of the bird site. Was gifted a little laptop which has become my dedicated writing box, so my older #system76 machine has been wiped of Windows and is pure Linux again. Elite: Dangerous ran out of the box, not so much with ESO or Fallout 76. DaVinci Resolve and Blender for any video or 3D projects.

Should I bother posting photos here?

Got my Part 107 cert recently and was so excited I spun up a UAV Pilots and Enthusiasts room in Librem Chat / Matrix. If you're into flying anything remote please join us at https://matrix.to/#/#uav:librem.one

Let's give this social thing a shot again, shall we? Finally have a proper open source laptop with my #system76 Onyx Pro, now I just need a FOSS phone and enterprise quality UAV. Anyone working on a FOSS RV with built in 3D printer, preloaded with all the vehicles printable parts on a USB drive? How about a printable Ronin-S alternative? #libremdotone seems a nice fog substitute, looking forward to watching it evolve.
