Punica granatum @PunaisetPimpulat@social.cleverlibre.org

Was installing a game on my daughter's #PC today and wanted to see how fast the download was going. Discovered that the #Gnome search box will leverage the calculator app to do conversions for you right in the applications menu. Tested and works without internet too.

r/linux really is a shithole. Someone announces a new release of a prominent open source application (Blender) and the only thing the peanut gallery can argue about is which packaging system was FIRST!!!111one..
It's no wonder eyes roll when people talk about a Linux "community" https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/f4ae6e/blender_282_released_blenderorg/

@g I'll have to do more analysis to be sure, but yes I think #OpenStreetMap has much more data in Germany than in almost any other country. This means a higher percentage of things that exist are mapped, and that a higher percentage of things that are mapped have the cuisine data entered (as a tag). We can look at OSM data to answer the second

@dansup Hey! Just discovered and joined a #PixelFed instance, but have a question....does my account federate with other instances (like pixelfed.social) or is that still in the future? Very excited, just a bit uneducated.

Pixelfed - the better Instagram - has reached V1.0! Check it out and give it a try. Great work by @dansup .

It's also supported by Fedilab App made by @fedilab .

Boring desktop Tuesday! Don't blame #KDE for this boring #desktop theme, this is all me. ;p

Meet Fred, aka #PixelFred our mascot. He's been around since June 2018 but many people don't know about him.

Have you ever seen or heard of the Altair 8800?

Tech historians and #retro #computing people know. Important, fist personal computer ever.

Privacy policy update from Tivo. I read it in its entirety since they didn't summarize the update. The key thing to understand is that Tivo (a) just got bought (b) thinks of itself as an advertising company now.

The privacy policy explicitly states that they can and will sell / transfer every piece of information they can gather to advertising partners. What you watch, when you watch it, how long you watched it, where you watched it from, what device you used, which ads you skipped, all of it including a lot of personally identifiable information.

I strongly suggest setting your tivo on fire in a parking lot somewhere. If fire isn't your thing, get a bucket of water and give your tivo an extended and through bath. The solder points particularly need scrubbing with a wire brush.

@PunaisetPimpulat Fedora has a bit more steeper learning curve than Linux Mint because it doesn't include patented and closed source stuff, but once you learn to deal with it, it's a really solid distro and I've been installing it on computers of average users with very positive experience.
