All these "alternatives" are equally bad if not worse... but OK, I get it.. controlled by Trump = "good" and controlled by CPC by proxy means "EVIL!" https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-tiktok-alternatives/

⚠️ #Mastodon v3.1.5 is out with a few important security fixes:
@schestowitz Linux is released under GPL Unix is proprietary, however IIRC now that MS have their filthy hands on Linux it is difficult to assess the future of the system.

Sharing as you may be interested. I can see that given she is facing 35 years, she will talk to get a shorter jail term. Could be very awkward for people.
Fox News segment crops Trump out of a photo with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
On Sunday evening, Fox News ran a segment about Ghislaine Maxwell, who was charged last week with the sex trafficking of children in the 1990s. The clip featured a photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell with the image of President Trump cropped out. A spokesperson for the network said the editing was done by mistake: "We regret the error."
My response is 'yeah right it was an error'

Will #LibreOffice 7.0 be only Personal Edition for individual use??? http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/139513 I hope it doesn't mean they 'pull a StarOffice' again, with a proprietary/limited edition
@schestowitz If mac move to ARM this could have implications too, or it could result in more ARM ports for steam.

It's Independence Day today in the US. It is important that we recognize today both that this country is badly screwed up, but also that it can be fixed if we commit to doing so. Those are some of the most important parts of patriotism. Celebrating your country without recognizing its flaws is not patriotic, it is nationalistic.

@openscience Cool thanks,

The UK has 49,000 + deaths, and eventually decided that the daily toll would include care home + community + hospital.
Looks like both the UK and US have done badly, they just won't admit it.
@coldwave @freemo @globcoco @design_RG @rgx
Not sure, Judging by the reaction I would guess the data is not quite as it should be.

A victory for common sense and the environment perhaps
