@kelsonv Ah ok, I know some animals have different names. Same as plants e.g Aubergine = Eggplant depending where people are from.

Thanks

@zleap They're probably related, but I think the ones we have around here are more closely related to tree squirrels.

This is the iNat observation for the California Ground Squirrel I saw, just before I startled it trying to move closer for a better photo:
inaturalist.org/observations/8

And a few minutes of wiki-walking turns up that ground squirrels as a group do include chipmunks, so I guess the better answer is that they overlap, but this particular one wasn't a chipmunk!

@paulsutton

I am not sure if @libreoffice are able to suggest what is wrong here or if others can have a go, see if they get the same issues.

I'm currently writing a #guide on how to set up your own #Fediverse instance using a #Hetzner cloud, getting a domain from #Contabo and using #YunoHost.

This guide will be directed at total beginners, with no prior knowledge necessary.

I really like writing guides. 🙂

@kelsonv Are ground squirrels the same as chipmunks?

@Greenpeace@newsbots.eu Recycle single use bottles to ulti use make it easier to simply refil.in shops

multi use probably just needs thicker walls and be BPA free.

Choice is a good thing,, there is something for beginners to advanced users. Problem is no one can agree on what to suggest for any given situation.

I use Debian but would probably recommend Mint to beginners, then help people transition to a full free software system where closed firmware isn't needed, tis is not easy sometimes you 'just need' closed firmware.

We need to understand the needs of that user and suggest accordingly.

Do we have too many Linux distros, and is it really an issue? tilvids.com/videos/watch/25608

Recent talk on direction of #mastodon are not what's most relevant for our #fediverse future.

Decisions of an individual #foss project are theirs to make. More important is where fedi as a whole is headed to.

A "Tragedy of the Commons" is at play. #TheFediverseChallenge is to remain relevant and healthy far into the future.

Individualism only gets us so far, but for Mastodon and other federated projects their choices are understandable.

But only teamplayers will win!

@karhima I agree and no problem.

We need take back control, otherwise our personal meta data is open to misuse by anyone without checks / balances.

The seizure of the Windscribe servers underscores the importance of the kind of basic VPN security hygiene... in turn, that emphasizes the risks posed when people rely on little-known or untested services to shield their Internet use from prying eyes. trib.al/6XBnDaa
