Today on This Is the Year Of Linux on Desktop, I try to install Flatpak on Majaro Linux running on the Pinebook.

“Choose a provider for xdg-desktop-portal-impl:

Man, Apple must be shaking in their boots.

God, I wish I had a proper place to have figurines and build a background like this for them.

I dunno who needs to see this, but relax your jaw.

This makes me sad. Of all the places you'd think you could avoid proprietary platforms, the Free Software Foundation would have been at the top of the list. 😞

something arrived today, definitely a holy grail for me...

@eldaking This is exactly why I get massively set off by issues in proprietary software but am super patient with issues in libre.

When there's a problem in proprietary software I often feel like it's an attack on me, either by way of deliberate feature restriction, or unwillingness to route my payments to the actual software I paid for.

But bugs in libre mostly make me think, well I'm sure they're doing their best, I love them just for making this and sharing it with me.

I lost it at "Still not impressed? You are an #Emacs user, right?" 😂 http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2012/03/21/why-vim/ #Vim

walked across the house to open the units program in a terminal so I could convert 20 cups to gallons

look, I got my PhD in physics, not grade-school math

Oh it worked!

"#Linux is my creative work daily driver, on 95% #libre and #FOSS tools. A few years ago it was the opposite, I was on 95% proprietary tools. It is often said that you cannot be on Linux if you do #creative work for a living, but I have transitioned across the last few years and love it. With the advances in #librecreative software the workflows just keep getting better and better. This collection shows some snapshots of my setup and how I use it."
