Find a cool product on #Amazon?

That company exists OFF Amazon, too.

1) #DDG company name.

2) Order from their site.

2a) Can usually find a 10% code!

3) Still get product in 2-8 days.

4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.

5) You avoid giving money to #Bezos.

Although it can be quite sustainable (it's sustained me my entire career so far), #FOSS will never be as profitable as proprietary software. That's because FOSS is specifically structured to make it impossible to exploit its users. Exploitation is what makes proprietary software so profitable. And, from where I sit, that profit is largely unethical.

How do you make the profile picture style like @mike @kev @dave @yarmo

Is this an online service or an inkscape setting or what?

I took over maintaining riot-desktop-git on the AUR because it was out of date and the official package was several versions behind. It's now up to date on riot-desktop V1.6.2 :)

My email i use for work goes to spam for most of my customers. Could it be because im using plain text instead of HTML? Has it really come to that?

Have any makers out there used a laser cutting service? If so, were you happy with results and cost? I'm shopping around and have looked into #Ponoko and #Sculpteo so far. I have no experience with any of them and would like advice from a veteran laser service user.

Feel free to boost.

Have been thinking about deploying pihole for awhile. But just came across adguard: github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuard

Better cross platform and looks like a bit of an easier code base to get into. Golang, using packr.

Should we start a hash tag that lists songs that are applicable to you and how you feel about quarantine and the covid19 virus? I have a great song....

Here's the hash tag #covid19playlist

Just realized that over the next couple years the Linux Mint team is going to have to come up with 4 different female "U" names. This should be good.

I'm proud to announce my pet project game: !

A free/libre fast-paced arcade collection of mini-games.

It's still very much a work-in-progress, but maybe you can still have a little fun with it:
