English is difficult. It can be understood though through tough thorough thought.

#Capitalism is a reasonable economic system that destroys 100 million trees a year to mass-produce something that literally no one asked for and literally everyone hates

Boosts are appreciated, as the giver is in London only until the 6th.

@ChrisWere Hey! I'm a Linux-only music producer. I also teach the libre ways of making music. Here's a recent video I made on the topic, telling why I do that: https://youtu.be/KYeTg4_k1Q0
If you'd like some music for your shows that was produktu made with 100% free software and Linux - hit me up :)
I also do monthly #unfalive on YT.
Cheers!

It is a tragic missed opportunity that the nintendo switch has a power button instead of a switch. #Showerthoughts

I'm currently taking a Mobile Applications course which teaches #android dev and is waaaaaay all in on #Google bullshit. I'd love some tips on how to make de-Googled apps; for instance, what APIs should I avoid to ensure that the app will work well under LineageOS and other such AOSP based systems?

Many thanks!

Why @aral and all of us were wrong about Google, Apple, Microsoft or Facebook.

We obviously must be given how popular and well respected they are. No seriously, they even say that there products are build upon privacy and people first. They wouldn't lie would they?

We're seeking visually impaired or blind people with coding experience who want to help ensure solid screen reader behavior in a new iteration of the CodeMirror in-browser code editor. Accessibility in the previous iteration is terrible, and I want to do better this time around.

If you're prepared to answer questions about coding while blind, or to test-drive the current prototype of the editor, please get in touch here or via marijn@haverbeke.nl

Well fuck, that was really good.
