Huge amen to that. Our favorite family activity is to spend all morning there with the kids on Saturdays.

I love this point. I had honestly never thought of the question this way before.

Is this why my Firefox window went black randomly for a few seconds today?

Feeder on Android from FDroid. It is being very actively developed and has been improving rapidly. Only thing I wish is that it would handle a dynamically changing feed list that can be kept on NextCloud across devices, a la keepass. I also

I have used Meld very happily for years on various Linuxes. But am not a developer—use it mainly for sync conflicts on things like to-do lists and article drafts. Thank you builders! It is an awesome tool.

Librera PRO is a great PDF (and eBook) reader on FDroid. And bonus: the version on FDroid is the paid version on Play (last time I checked).

I love that Librera PRO, a fantastic EPUB and PDF reader, is a paid app on Google Play but is free on FDroid. Other favs: * Wallabag (read it later) * Markor (Markdown text editor) * FluffyChat (Matrix chat) * BlitzMail (email quick notes t

Have seen both sides of this. I quit grad school to work, and was much happier having done so, and then returned to teach years later and was much happier than before. A few things: * There should be much more tolerance for going back and f

I love this idea and, as a person with a special devotion to St. Catherine of Alexandria (who persuaded all the mighty scholars of her truth, which got them executed), I love the name. But isn't it ironic that, for a project named afte

It's good planning ahead for when Apple no longer supports perfectly fine old-ish machines. Both my mother and wife are now using Linux not because their computers broke but because Apple gave up on them.

Just in case some additional decision-making functionality would be useful, we're working on a Lua mod for that. https://gitlab.com/medlabboulder/modpol

It seems to me that the goal should be not to require the other user to be using Emacs, since the underlying data is text files anyway. The open protocol approach seems most exciting, enabling people to use whatever editor they like best wi

Great to hear! I tried using it at CommunityRule.info but ran into no-go issues, which I posted here: https://gitlab.com/commento/commento/-/issues/391 Also would love for it to be easier to match the C

I use it daily for syncing among multiple Linux PCs and two Android/Lineage devices. I actually like that mobile sync is manual because my usage is so heavy it would involve moving around a lot of data unnecessarily. Setting up my wife

In addition to some dinosaur bone pictures, this post is an argument against posting preprints because a) the author doesn't want to deal with feedback from people who aren't official peer reviewers, and b) doesn't want to bo

I don't see it. I recently bought a System76 laptop, in honest competition with a comparable (and comparably priced) machine from a huge corporation. I ended up going for S76 based on better battery life and better design, plus the ben

I can't express enough my gratitude on a daily basis for what pandoc enables me to do. I made a simple Emacs script that I use to output files, and I use it constantly for Latex PDFs, HTML output, RevealJS slides, and odt/docx&#x2

Same, except I use NextCloud to share across machines. And edit in Emacs. I still have trouble seeing what I am missing by using simple, universal files instead of some lock-in app. Any extra feature seems to come at the cost of losing the

I disagree. I have a Thelio and now a Lemur Pro, and the distinctiveness of S76 design is one of the great pleasures for me. It's quirky, geeky, and fun. It's decidedly not the kind of thing you'd get from a minimalist corpor
