Why Iron-man and why not Fe-male?

BREAKING: ICANN has voted to REJECT the sale of the .ORG registry to private equity firm Ethos Capital. This is a major victory for the millions of nonprofits, civil society organizations, and individuals who make .ORG their home online. #SaveDotOrg https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-board-withholds-consent-for-a-change-of-control-of-the-public-interest-registry-pir https://t.co/sFLcwZqU1B

Can anyone help me with an issue where my Ubuntu desktop changes resolutions when I switch my KVM? It's annoying to either have to close all windows before switching or resize them when I switch back.

Naturally, searching for this info/solution on DDG has been fkn useless.

It (always) bears repeating that the phrase "open source" is defined by the open source definition:

https://opensource.org/osd

The OSI invented the term "open source" and it has always been defined by the OSD. There are systemmic gaslighting campaigns ongoing to convince you otherwise. Remember: the only people who are trying to convince you that the OSD does not define open source have ulterior motives, namely convincing you that their propreitary software is open.

material design is a mistake

Pulled the trigger.

Now supporting #sourcehut financially because this is exactly the kind of thing I want.

$2/month is a great price to support @sir and crew.

I know the claim is that #Github makes our repos more easily discovered but after years of use I still don't believe the claim. A good and useful repository will be discovered with or without Github.

Long live sr.ht

#git migration to follow.

This evening I recommend you switch off the TV and social media, and do something to keep your mind busy.

Is it playing games? Reading a book? Binge-watching Netflix? Knitting a scarf? A spot of gardening?

Go do that. 🙂

It's good to be informed and do the right things, but it's not healthy to dwell on bad things outside of your own control.

If you're still feeling anxious, have a phone call with someone and talk things out.

This, now more than ever. #emacs #vim #WashYourHands #covid19 #coronavirus

Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.

If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.
