PSA: If you're using #mobian and #chatty is crashing for you because it cannot find libjabber.so, please either grab the latest version from unstable (should migrate in a few days) or adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the new multilib purple plugin directory,

You know the amazing https://mobile.twitter.com/biktorgj who singlehandedly created a nearly-FOSS userland modem firmware for the #pinephone and #pinephonepro ? He supports the community, is incredibly stubborn, err, persistent, in the face of a weird modem and regularly improves the firmware. You can even tell your phone modem to remind you to buy milk now via SMS. He likes coffee and we think he deserves some as a token of gratitude 😍! Pour him one ☕ https://ko-fi.com/biktorgj
Got my second analog film roll back, this is probably my favorite shot. It's Fujicolor Pro 400H
I've been wondering ... is there an IRC for gardening and/or farming, like there is for technology?
Usenet was just a bit before my time, but I'm guessing there's a community there for gardeners. I wonder if it's still active.
Thank you Tristan Miller for the excellent presentation about NNTP, Usenet, and the contrast with modern centralized social WWW sites.
#Python creator Guido van Rossum puts it plain and simple. Asked about what role python could play in the #web3 world, he says
„Let web3 die in a flaming ball of fire.“

How much clearer does it need to be made?
Software freedom is the prerequisite for many of the issues people struggle with when it comes to technology, privacy breaches, user lock-in, DRM, hardware obsolescence, it is all connected. Support #FreeSoftware https://fsf.org

A recent kernel upgrade was missing some bits, preventing the proximity sensor on the #pinephone to properly work during phone calls (and prevent hanging up with your face during calls). This has now been corrected.
