@grmpyprogrammer there is no pure human interaction without politics even children meeting for the first time will establish social orders. You are political.

oh and transgendered peiople can exist but stay the fuck away from me.
I'll call it a girl or boy if it asks in front of its face but with my buddies I call it, it.

I am far left not authoritarianstyle donald trump, joe biden, democrats, republicans... canadian LibConDP can all go fuck them selves time for a guillotine purge.
@furgar he eventually rubs everyone the wrong way.. we can still appreciate that his pragmatic position in software freedom is a pillar of good shit in our lives.
@kyle Im sorry to hear that from the puri.sm perspective.
Hope they come out with a higher quality laptop eventually I bought a librem13 and it fell apart fairly quickly, I still use it as a remote box.
I really appreciate the efforts to create a secure privacy orientated latpop x86_64 without the Intel management engine .
Happy free doming.

For some reason I'm proud of myself that I've started consistently shutting down the computer by clicking the shutdown icon instead of switching to the terminal and typing "sudo shutdown -h now".

I just finished reading Issue 42 (Spring 2023) of the Free Software Foundation's Bulletin. It has a story, by Alper Atmaca (@alper) of the Free Software Association (Özgür Yazılım Derneği) in Turkey, about how the "OsmAnd+"/"OsmAnd~" mapping application -- available on #FDroid for #Android devices -- was crucial in aiding them while they were responding to the earthquakes in #Turkey in February. #OsmAnd works offline (for both mapping and routing), can work with raw UTM coordinates, and is #FreeSoftware. While other proprietary solutions were dependent upon the now-defunct grid system of electricity and internet to function, OsmAnd kept on trucking, enabling the rescuer to effectively perform their duties. The #OSM community itself also shines here, in that they volunteered by the thousands to map the extensive damage in days.
It's definitely worth the read, and is a testament to the power and value of Free Software over the supposed superiority of proprietary offerings.
Incidentally, OsmAnd also saved me from (far less mission-critical) headaches once too when the otherwise-reliable cell network in my city went offline while I was doing #GigWork, working for #DoorDash: https://octodon.social/@aspensmonster/109862233485843081

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.
Not the case.
It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.
Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.
By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.
So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.
