Rare photo of mother wrench feeding her hatchlings in the wild. Breathtaking

First time in over a decade I've had no interest in what's up with the new Ubuntu release. I'll probably have to figure some stuff out when someone at work wants to upgrade their desktop, but it can wait until then.

Looks like they've totally committed to the garbage that is snaps, I hope that can still be ripped out or I'm considering it a totally lost cause.

Geez, I'm a fucking grumpy old greybeard these days. Going outside now to shake my cane angrily at the kids on my lawn.

As the students were leaving for the afternoon, I went out a front door of the building with a colleague. We waved to the buses. As we turned back, we noticed a plant, beside one of the planted shrubs. As science teachers, both turned to look at each other with raised eyebrows. We got a plastic pot and dug up the plant. Then we walked it down to the principal's office. He wasn't there, so we just left it on his desk with a note telling him where we'd found it. He was not happy.

If it's not open source you can't trust it. If it's not libre software it doesn't respect your freedom.

I wrote a little blog post on why we in the Free Software movement need to have understanding, love and outstretched arms:

If you want to share a file with a friend or colleague, you don't have to trust a third party service. You can use OnionShare.

The newest version even lets you publish static websites as onion services.

FairEmail-Nutzer? Dann bitte Einstellungen -> Datenschutz aufrufen und das Häkchen bei "Google safe browsing" herausnehmen. Weshalb dies in der neusten Version integriert wurde, werde ich den Entwickler fragen. Unschön. Opt-In wäre ja noch okay.

An jeder Ecke wird gerade Zoom für Videokonferenzen empfohlen. Wer die Datenschutzerklärung gelesen und verstanden hat, wird Zoom vermutlich nicht nutzen wollen. Absolut gruselig.

Here in Karlsruhe it's a bad reality ... I can understand taking precautions ... but what happened here ... they all found this recipe ...

Linking to a #microsoft #propaganda site, sole editor of Linux.com has just tweeted: "Suddenly @Microsoft has become a company I can say I now admire and ‘love’."

Congrats Linux Foundation. You are another Microsoft now.

You can either support Linux or the Linux Foundation. Not both.

Für Android gibt es im Grunde nur zwei empfehlenswerte E-Mail-Clients: FairEmail und K-9 Mail. Alle anderen beinhalten Tracker oder übermitteln sogar die Login-Daten an den Hersteller - geht gar nicht. Tracker und Co. haben in E-Mail-Apps nichts verloren.
