Did you install security patches? I don't want to catch any malware from you.

FreeTube!!! So the new user can watch YouTube videos without interruptions of ads. And not the other way around, like it is on YouTube. :)

Elon Musk will create his own Linux distribution. It will be called "You Just Musk Have It!".

It’s time to start using a privacy focused browser! 👩🏻‍💻🔐

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is forcing Apple to give users a default browser choice.

Which default browser did you pick and why? 💻

My favorite distro for the past 3+ years is Garuda. I use the KDE and Qtile editions. Theys made a lot of useful suite of tools and helped with migration to KDE 6 (Wayland part of it does not work though). I would move to a wayland based dynamic tiling WM, but Hyprland dows not want to work for one of my apps and currently there are no other good choices, plus what I am reading about the lead developer and their community isn't good.

A variety of old fountain pens in different shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. This photo has them with their caps off or extended.

I wouldn't call pens from 1990s vintage, but there is no clear definition of vintage. That being said, here is my humble vintage collection from the left:

1980 Moscow summer olympics commemorative Soviet Soyuz pen with a fine nib,
1930s Swan Leverless from Mabie Todd & Co with a flex nib,
1930s Sheaffer Balance with Sheaffer's feather touch nib,
1937 Parker Golden Pearl Vacumatic Junior with Parker's Flex nib (Not sure if those nibs are rare).

    This is the best, very secure, and most privacy concientious email platform, plus you can add contacts and have a calendar, all encrypted. I hope you check it out - @jessnickelsen @penfount

    Finding tiling managers. Right now I am using qtile. Tried Wayland tiling managers - Sway and Hyprland and had different experiences. On Sway everything works, but nit on Hyprland.
