If you aren't using it for navigation turn off location services on your phone. There's no reason to leave them on and it saves battery life, don't give big corporations yet another way to spy on you.

You can never be too careful #y2k that was one hell of the new year 😏😂😓

She is convinced her former employer cannot be trusted with power so vast, and that the systems she helped build should be dismantled.

I bought $25 Chromebooks for my siblings a few years ago that surprisingly still had software support. Since then they've slowed down and stopped working. Rather than throw them away, I installed a custom UEFI Firmware and Debian Linux. It runs KDE and Firefox flawlessly.

The whole people are going to switch to Linux because Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support in 2025 is unrealistic. Non-technical people don't care about cybersecurity until their data gets breached.

I'm feeling generous today because of holidays, so I'm giving away another year of Linux free for everyone!!! 🥰

The whole "Year of the Linux Desktop" thing has always bothered me. If you like Linux use it, don't wait around for others to switch. About 1% of computer users run Linux which is a huge part of the population. We are thriving as a community, and no amount of Windows or Mac users can take that away!

Legally, I can't call this an Ace Attorney fan account if I don't do this

When you're sick on Christmas Eve 🤪

Considering deleting this app. Post Interaction controls are harmful and are going to be abused just like they were abused on Twitter.

Be careful, Rudolph has tested positive for H5N1

I wish the "no you don't understand, Biden is going to be great for queer people" a very "eat shit"

you can't cheat in stardew valley because its not a competitive game. (unless you're doing a specific challenge.) there is nothing wrong with using the wiki to help you along the way in your game. anybody who suggests otherwise is a weird ass gatekeeper.

the only thing I hate more than code autoformatting is other peoples code formatting

All I want for christmas is untitled goose game online co-op please please please that would be so fun

Valve released the Best of Steam - 2024 showing off the highest earners and most played games #Steam #Gaming #PCGaming #SteamDeck

Be nice to yourself, okay? As a treat. You gotta have at least one person in your corner at all times and during the holidays that might sometimes be you Idk. Be kind. It's often free. Sometimes it isn't. Almost always worth it. Anger might save the world but it won't make you happy.

Blue Sky lets you turn off replies and quotes. This is going to be quickly abused by accounts to share hate and not allow anyone to engage.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

The judge presiding over the Luigi Mangione case is married to a former Pfizer executive. More about the judge here:

Sorry for grounding American Airlines this morning, I was using their computer to download Shrek porn as an early Christmas gift (for me)

*accepts cookie* om nom nom 😋

I made a helpful post but the notifications are getting to be too much. Might disable notifications on this app jdk

If you choose to enable Debian backports for the love of god uninstall dkms and any kernel modujles you added first otherwise you get into dependency hell with a borked linux system The solution is to uninstall dkms and any kernel modules you've installed, upgrade, reinstall dkms as well and moduels

Cybersecurity tip: Turn your phone (and computers, tablets, etc) off and back on frequently. Do not reboot/restart. Turn it off, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. Lots of spyware out there that cannot get persistence (the ability to save itself to storage and reload itself). Stay safe!

“With this ruling, spyware companies should be on notice that their illegal actions will not be tolerated.”

Congratulations to America on our new co-founding father!

While I am no longer on Twitter, I do have to say that the iPad layout for twitter is leagues ahead of the one for Bluesky

Debian will always be my /home 🥰

Linux Developers, if you want people to use Linux make the installer accessible. Is it possible for me in Arch Linux or Debian Linux, out of the box without a customized installer, to start a screen reader to walk me through the installation process? For what it's worth Ubuntu already does this.

CORPORATIONS: You don’t own this digital book/movie/album/comic/game, you have a license we can revoke at any time. We do this to protect copyright. ALSO CORPORATIONS: Copyright shouldn’t apply to us because we need free creative works to train our theftbots.

sad story in three icons

therapist: now where did we leave off last session.. me: it bothers me that not one member of hootie and the blowfish is named hootie.

Regarding the post about getting a library card even if you don't use it as it impacts funding: yes, and you also have to use it.

For a moment, it looked like Congress would actually enact reforms of controversial pharmacy benefit managers after several years of introducing bills and holding hearings.

Now that I've deactivated twitter all i need is for blue sky to fail and i'll be totally free

If you take it literally, “Last Christmas” by Wham! is a song about organ donation from the POV of a ghost.

I'm gonna just keep posting old art instead of making anything new

This is annoying for me too, being Deaf in my right ear means I cannot hear in stereo but everything is mixed in stereo in pipewire or pulse and I cant figure out how to easily change it unless its suppiled by a desktop environment which I dont use. This should be easier to configure.

Linux please build better accessibility tools so I don't have to stop using you if my vision gets worth. Bonus points if anyone wants to walk me through using the Orca screen reader

Dang it, React 19 made me excited to use React again. I don't think this is a Svelte account anymore 😬
