Anything #PinePhone #Librem5 #LinuxPhones #Mobian #NemoMobile #SailfishOS #UbuntuTouch #Insertyourhashtaghere I must not miss for #LinBits?

(It's going out early this week (later today) because I want to have a free and relaxing week-end (also, birthday tomorrow)).

I'm going to try and do a little #FollowFriday here, and I really liked the way @minkiu added a bit about each person, so here we go:

@kev / @mike - The Admins behind Fosstodon.org

@sylvia_ritter - You may recognise some of the artwork if you're an Ubuntu fan ;)

@dajbelshaw - A friendly chap with some interesting blogs to follow

@keyoxide - An alternative to Keybase to establish your online identity

If you'd like to participate, give @FollowFriday a follow!

My #NemoMobile video is now on #PeerTube, too: https://devtube.dev-wiki.de/videos/watch/08b7d4e6-f736-47cc-a25e-c05be5c2165b

PSA: My employer changed the CPR kits in all the first-aid boxes to ones that have disposable one-way valves in the event we have to use them during the pandemic. I hadn't even thought of our first-aid kits as being a transmission vector.

Encourage your employers to make sure you have safe CPR kits!

Major performance improvements coming to the #PinePhone thanks to work by Ondrej Jirman (megi).

@postmarketOS, but the fix will benefit all OSes.

Someone on Fosstodon got in touch with me eventually, and we've closed a deal today. I'm starting next month and absolutely stoked to grow into my role and become even better for the next time around! 🎉

I had absolutely no idea what would happen or any expectation with this toot. Almost out of desperation, this was me shouting into the fediverse -- yet 76 boosts and dozens of replies and DMs later, here I am, incredibly taken aback by the response and the help extended. Thank you EVERY ONE! ♥

Hey #Barcelona. This is a long shot. But I’m looking for someone.

Anyone else has tried to submit their contribution to the World #Dataviz Challenge between 23:00 and 23:59 on Monday Oct 26th on this website? https://opendata-ajuntament.barcelona.cat/en/world-data-viz-challenge-bcn-kobe-2020

We are denied participation because the submission form was not working properly at that time. We are looking for anyone else that might have faced the same issue?

Thank you for your help.

🤡 <----- people who blame github for the RIAA takedown notice of youtube-dl, but pay for music streaming services that fund the RIAA.

Cancel those subscriptions, and go here...

Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) is my go-to tool for backing up photos and synchronizing password store across all devices. Run as a non-profit foundation, great UX in both web interface and Android app, multiple relay servers for NAT traversal run by volunteers. Totally worth setting up a recurring donation on Liberapay or their own website.

This is a good write-up of the #youtubedl situation that should be accessible to non-techies:

If you need something to link your friends, family, or political representative to so that they can understand how absolutely preposterous and harmful the youtube-dl takedown is, this is a good link to have at hand.

Can't wait to boot up my APPLE to open up my MICROSOFT text editor and GOOGLE for solutions to FACEBOOK's technical debt in my MICROSOFT repository so I can deploy to AMAZON and I'll pay GOOGLE and FACEBOOK for the privilege of getting site traffic to show my visitors ads.
