Linlap.info REMINDER

*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*

The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.

An attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.

Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!

Any help appreciated!

I haven't played Ingress in a few years, but I'm kinda excited about Ingress Prime :D

A cool person and long time friend, Tyler Magill opposed the Nazis in Charlottesville, and was attacked while protecting students, and suffered a stroke as a result of that attack.

Tyler is a cool DJ, a great parent, and has been standing up to Nazis for years now, and I hope will again soon.

I think many of you would like Tyler a lot. Currently the instance I'm on doesn't seem to be federating very wide, so if anyone can boost I'd appreciate it, because people should know who Tyler is.

White Hat UX

Chuffed! 14 copies of my dear friend Trine Falbe’s excellent White Hat UX book just arrived.

Read the preface I wrote then go and order your copy today :)

(Doubly-happy that it’s already an Amazon #1 Best Seller. A beautiful book, on a crucial subject, masterfully written and produced.) https://mastodon.ar.al/media/2kEbqH8R3TSBexP-a3U https://mastodon.ar.al/media/8w8o5hVTYHH6Mqyz7YM https://mastodon.ar.al/media/hjF-61Z0ffmibx_MWOE https://mastodon.ar.al/media/YH2ZN0xNguMn2Kndx58

generalizations about your operating system:

mac: overpriced proprietary everything, but the Aesthetic Is So Clean™
linux: you get to be an annoying elitist so have fun with broken sound and/or wifi
windows: [literally go to any tech forum and ask a linux user for their opinion on windows]
gnu/hurd: what's it like in the year 3896
android/ios: {TO SEE THIS REMARK PLEASE VIEW THIS ADVERTISEMENT OR PAY $5.99}
tails os: you are an online drug dealer or worse

ICANN: we've given the world this new, extended list of gTLDs. we hope it will be of use to you. one example is the ".business" domain. the intended audience at which this domain should cater is the business world.

Mastodon: kinky.business ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

In defence of mediocrity. It's OK to be normal. I often fall victim to the notion that I need to have a bunch of side-hustles and an entrepreneurial spirit to be "successful." This is a nice reminder that it's OK to opt-out of the madness and to be content with a relatively quiet, normal life.

@nolan Yeah, had that thought for a while. But for me it just feels like I want to do something, I want to make something better, I want to show others that I can, and that's what help me do open source things.

There's no money in it (not actually) but not considering the burnouts it is worth the things that we learn. I've done some freelancing, but it wasn't satisfying in any way. It kind of forces me to make things that I might not like. Those are my thoughts on OSS. 🤣

Mastodon project should be divided in 2 projects, on for the frontend and one for the Backend/API.

Most of my gripes with Mastodon are coming from the frontend part and it would be great to be able to manage the front independently from the back.

The change to Webpack would have been painless and theming would be easier to do.
API would evolve and provide new endpoints painlessly and custom fronts would be a thing.

@ftl I mean, if we can't even permanently colonise Antarctica reliably

What business do we have on Mars?

Is the combo 🔁 + ⭐ a marriage proposal?

#funfact: the basic functionality of the internet should be messaging and filetransfer. both still not really working in 2017.

After a long day of staring at your computer at work nothing beats going home and...staring at your computer some more
