What do you do for entertainment consistently? What are your habits for entertainment? Netflix? Reddit? Be specific without being creepy 😅

Sad to see, that Leah took that approach for the development. I think free software is mostly about social interactions. Ofc you have a right to do the whole thing alone and release your software under libre license like gpl, but it misses the point of sharing (and cooperating) that those licenses promote.
It might be good idea for and_who, swiftgeek and paulk-leonov to cooperate and make libreboot back to gnu project which would bring back democratic development.
After playing with Manjaro on a Pi 4 for a bit, I just reserved a Pinebook Pro. I really want to keep up with usable Linux on ARM, and it seems like a great choice to do that.
Anyone use an Onlykey with Linux? Looking to use it to store passwords, PAM, etc and looking to see if others have experience with it

Never thought I’d watch NASCAR but my kid loves it so now I need to know who will win Daytona 😂
And the internet still works fine. Such functional, no call spam, hmmm
I’m in between phones right now, so I don’t have a activated phone. I’m wondering if it’s worth activating at all... I literally get no phone calls I care about
Getting more comfortable running Manjaro on daily driver and Arch on a test laptop that I might be ready to wipe the daily driver and try out Arch full time.

So I don’t think snow days are a thing anymore. What the hell.
I am sad to report that Milano cookies are crap now.

I want to make sure this is clear to all. ubuntu.buzz is open to having people join our instance. The creator and admin of our instance is me, Ikora. I'm a black femme, but you don't have to be to join us. We are creating a community space based on restorative justice principles. So, yes, everyone is welcome! But, it's in context, right? Unearned advantages will be addressed and acknowledged. We won't be gaslighting each other. Listen to experience, etc. Join me if you want to help. <3

We're going to try a screen-free day after work today. We probably spend a lot less time with any screen than the average person already, but it would be nice to try it out anyway. We're thinking of making it into a weekly thing.
Have any of you tried it?

Figured out how to get all devices working over my Thunderbolt 3 dock in Linux, which is neat.
