To make my life easier, it would be a Linux CLI 101 class for CS Masters students. Half of them don’t have the basic skills towdo their research.

The thing I’d like to teach is a hybrid theory/practical on Free Culture, and how to use FOSS for all your computing needs.

I just want my browser to be FOSS, private, and secure. I don’t care if it’s the fastest.

Fast is nice, but fastest doesn’t matter.

Probably many more…

Yes. I heavily favour Godot.

“Not too bad.”

Thanks for your insights!

I’m out of the loop. What’s the issue with phoronix?

I’m glad that of the 90 podcasts I subscribe to, none of them are in this meme

Why even bother living. Just get “AI” to live for you, and recycle your meaningless meat form.

It’s been over 10 years since I tried it, but at that time it was common for OpenOffice to have compatibility issues with MS office formats, but those issues were already fixed in LibreOffice.

Why on earth is OpenOffice here??

LibreOffice is the maintained fork.

It has been that way for 16 years now.

16 years.

There are people working full time jobs who were born the same year that LibreOffice started.

Stop promoting OpenOffice. People will have problems with it that have been long fixed in LibreOffice.

Edit: typo

Fascinating! I still use it unironically mostly.

Another one brought to my attention is ROFL. Though personally that one has aged out.

What about those who use “lol”?

We really do live in the cyber punk dystopia predicted. It’s just way less neon lights.

Ads are egregious attempts at brainwashing you into buying something. Blocking ads is morally correct. If something relies on ads, then its business model is broken.

Whatever Linux is being sold pre-installed on a machine within their budget.

Told my dad to buy a Dell laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled after his last Windows laptop died. He’s been fine with that for the last 5 years.
