My Way of Recommending Free Software Messengers to Others

Sharing is very appreciated.

I respect their choices without questioning nor challenging them.

❤️ Use #FreeSoftware messenger that you need or works for you.

🌻 I am not forceful in inviting others to one decentralized or not.

I support all #LibreSoftware licensed #messengers and I prioritize ones which support #GNU+#Linux over ones which do not.

I noticed my Razer Blade 15 Advanced (early 2021) is listed in the full Linux support List. Also, the OpenSUSE is officially supported by Razer. You know what I'm going to do.

i wish i could argue that reading books helps you develop concentration and discipline but the good ones don’t take any effort to read, so it’s almost the opposite. it’s escapism, even if you’re learning useful things, because you lose yourself for a bit.

If you're a teenager in the US and your parents are refusing to provide consent to get you vaccinated, there's a website that's designed to help you figure out if and how you can get around your parents, as well as what vaccinations you should get if you haven't had any:

Project to rebuild papers with plaintext markup languages
Is there a project which tries to recreate all / the most important scientific papers with plaintext markup languages (e.g. Markdown, AsciiDoc, or LaTeX). Storing them as PDFs feels like such waste of space if most papers are just text and diagrams anyways. Also, PDFs are not responsive and don't scale pleasantly on different screen sizes.
