No comment on this one.

I thought this day would never come...

You don't use open source software because it's better (it usually isn't).

You don't use open source software because it's freer (it only sometimes is).

You don't use open source software because it's got better politics (it isn't always).

You use open source software because *it is the only option*. In the long run, if it isn't open source, it doesn't exist.

@joelpomales I haven't used KDE in years, can you give some examples of missing features?

Simple system that works can be extended to a complex system that works.

I never applied for an amateur radio license because I didn't like the idea of appearing on an official list of "skilled" people. Until now that was a theoretical fear. One I wasn't even sure if it was warranted or just me being overly cautious.

In Belarus things escalated quickly. Radio amateurs - usually recognized as men of goodwill - have been declared enemies of the state and publicly shamed and indicted for high treason.

This is pretty broad but thank you every open source developer who makes my computer awesome

I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

@mainz_de beim Titel im toot ist wohl was schief gelaufen, ansonsten super Aktion!

@neuland_niklas jetzt wo die FDP zum Glück aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis ist, wird da die "Neuland first, Bedenken second" Kampagne noch ziehen?
Oder können wir uns auf frische Ideen wie "Vorstand muss sich wieder lohnen" freuen? 😜

@blindcoder I think that's called a trim lever, but I fear it's totally custom for your car.
Maybe a good starter project for 3D modeling it yourself?
