- Interestingly enough, the character limit for the profile metadata "Label" field is higher than the limit applied to the main bio section. I find this rather odd, especially considering the severe damage to Mastodon's lovely UI I am causing by using this.

I am fairly certain that I am human. But pseudo-intellectual remarks aside, and enough with my floccinaucinihilipilification of sesquipedalian loquaciousness.

We really need a new laptop but without any hardware backdoors installed and compatible to install #freesoftware only with #Fedora or #Debian pre-installed.

"Why does Microsoft Windows 10 have so many bugs? Ex-Employee tells you why!"
SMBC isn't as bad as TVTropes, but it's close.

Is it weird to get weepy about kids being awesome and protesting stuff?

I wonder what the next strike will be about once we've all collectively forgotten (and done nothing substantive) about this one...
Microsoft makes HTA, where only your HTML files are bundled. People use it. People get bored of it. People stop using it.
GitHub makes Electron, where an ENTIRE VERSION OF CHROME is bundled. People use it. People use it more. People keep using it. People use it even more.
Driver GUIs are written in Electron now.
Why.

@wizzwizz4 It's an archaic form of licensing. Hailing back to the early 'naughts. Originally people asked if they could use something and the creator or owner could accent or decline, based on the requestor's query. Really amazing stuff, history 😁

If you're not on #DuckDuckGo, get #Ecosia now. The ads are less intrusive than Google's, and they plant trees, and they're a nice healthy B on TOS;DR.
They've also got bang-lites, in the form of #tags, and are continuing to add more features to the search engine.

We should all wish Richard Stallman love and respect, even in light of this embarrassing episode, because mistakes happen. We should expect better moving forward, and hope he becomes wise to the outcome of this event.
Friends, be strong! We are still moving forward! Free software around the world is a condition of human freedom! Continue to resist, continue to prosper with our devotion to our free software. The movement does not end unless we all give up.
Sincerely,
Your benevolent comrade.

Tried explaining the problem with Google Play Services (GPSe) on the Android platform to some of my colleagues and why you should use @Tutanota instead of ProtonMail.
One of them have now converted from Gmail to Tutanota and also considers Lineage OS. Others thought it was interesting but will probably continue using stock Android and Gmail.
Stallman, meta

PSA: Normal elevators are not airtight, and I can think of very few reasons for one to be, except maybe infectious disease research facilities. You cannot suffocate in one if it becomes stuck.
