It's time for an announcement. I am one of the co-developers of the Yggdrasil screen reader project, which aims to improve Linux accessibility, one step at a time. And, since I'm sure a fair few of you are now trying to figure out how to pronounce Yggdrasil ... we're changing its name. Your help would be greatly appreciated in helping us decide the new name, so join the discussion! https://github.com/yggdrasil-sr/yggdrasil-prototype/discussions/5
Still thinking about submitting a talk proposal for #librepanet? Check out last year's videos for inspiration: https://u.fsf.org/pt-2021. The CfS closes on December 1st!
Thinking about submitting to #libreplanet? There's still plenty of time. We want to hear what you have to say about #freesoftware, licensing, ethical technology, #drm and more! https://my.fsf.org/lp-call-for-sessions
@neil Sharing to help reach more people.
@sesivany Excellent work on that.
@zleap we used to have 2-3, but they all ran out of business a long time ago. We're a small market, just 10 million ppl + 5 million Slovaks who also understand Czech.
But this one was non-profit. We distributed it free of charge to IT managers in organizations to kinda lobby for open source.
@Bleukitty It isl ike here in the UK both main parties have just lost touch with the people of this country.
Perhaps trump should form his own party, and distance himself from the republicans , let them put a candidate forward.
voting should have an option such as none of the above, that way if that vote gets a majority, the election is cancelled (existing party just carries on for a period of time) and re-run after the main parties have had a chance to actually think about it.
Or perhaps also voting forms should have a list of topics such as
Education
Immigration + skills ( so basically how can a country bring in the skills it needs)
Healhcare
Crime
Public services
Environment
Transport / infrastructure
then people can say what is important to them during the candidate process.
Probably will never happen, but politicians are not in touch with the rest of us
@Bleukitty Is Donald Trump really a better option ? Are the republicans really a better option, given how divided the US is.
What is needed is a 3rd party to try and break this deadlock.
@fribbledom Mice do like cheese though :D

Not a hot take because it's true
It is not illegal to share isos of Linux, texlive etc via torrents, in fact this is encourged to take the strain off http servers.
Which reminds me I will fire up deluge so I can share stuff. :D
@sesivany There are still lots of magazines in the Uk for Linux, and thanks to the Raspberry Pi other magazines have popped up to support users of that.
@Bleukitty What happens if Kamala Harris is President by then or runs for office instead of Joe Biden.
2024 is 3 years away, anything can happen in that time.
@newsbot Ouch, that is a huge update.
