What's up? In my household (in Norway) we've specifically sought out Swiss Miss for the past seven(?) years, because everything else (apart from home-made goodies!) tastes shite.

If I've lost out on something, lmk!

Yeah, when I first got into Linux and FOSS I'd read their articles to get oriented. Even followed them on Mastodon. For a time, the articles and content were good, but after a while I noticed a decline in quality and more talk about proprietary things.

Nowadays, I've muted ItsFOSS on Mastodon and actively avoid reading their articles, because they run so many paid placements and low quality stories with non-free things placed front-and-center.

Glad I'm not the only one of this opinion. Let's hope ItsFOSS changes

Thanks, TIL!

This is rule 28, just $(99-28) rules to go 🎵

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business

Consent-o-matic

Ublock origin (activate cloud storage and sync rules between devices!)

Bitwarden

Onetab

Firefox translations

Dark reader

Privacy redirect

It was the informativest of rules, it was the workerst of rules

To my knowledge there's less overhead to running graphical applications through flatpak.

Yup yup yup, would not recommend. I still binged it though, which is something I've got trouble with when it comes to ZeroCalcare's latest series; which I love. I guess I'm in a 'braindead entertainment' kinda mood these weeks

You can download configuration files (wireguard preferably) from your protonvpn account in a web browser.

Open the network manager (idk what steam mode uses, this should work in desktop mode) and add a wireguard connection.

Add the private key, add the peer and its public key, add the dns. Save.

When you need it, simply connect to it like a regular network, in addition to your wifi of course.

This has served me well on Fedora Atomic workstation with KDE for years :)

I've also used a pinetime running infinitime for the past year, and I agree that it's not exactly feature rich. I like it though.

I've heard that 'bangle.js' is an open source watch as well, with a decent feature set.

Hurray! So much land was lost to too few hands the pas centuries, particularly under the military dictatorship

Great post! I've often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren't that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.

Out of curiousity, why not use a Windows 10 VM? Those signed ISOs should be readily available. windows 7 is a bit too vulnerable to be allowed internet access even in a VM, imo

This led to an entertaining and brain-excercising hour-long rabbit hole. Nice!

So sad seeing people hurt others who're just trying to get their fair share and make a slightly better life for themselves and their family

Great scott, you've done it!

What do you like doing?

Since you're using FreeCAD I'll assume you're interested in Free Software. If so, Liberapay and OpenCollective could be alright alternatives to Patreon. They take a lower platform cut of your donations, but they don't offer 'tiers' and automatic awards for donors.

I've had four cases that I know of, and three vaccines. Struggling with serious brain fog, though not sure covid is the cause
