Poking around with NoteCards I ran across this bitmap editor which comes with its library. Here Medley Interlisp is running on my Linux Mint system.
"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."
-- Neil Postman
F-Droid 1.20 is out. In this version, I overhauled how repositories are working. Read more in my blog post for @fdroidorg :

Thanks to support from @NGIZero and @calyxos, I was able to improve Seedvault's app backup. Taking inspiration from @restic and @borgbackup 2, backups now use de-duplication, compression and chunking - resulting in smaller and faster backups. Snapshots allow you to restore previous states of your device. Available on free Androids soon.

Distrotube put out a video taking a look at Zorin OS. Certainly a distro that has the cosmetics down. Zorin OS is a distro based on Ubuntu for those that don't know.

Here is the offiical site in case you want to check out more about it:
Traditionally, open source licenses have been enforced through the law of copyright.
However, arguably, open source licenses could also be enforced through the law of contracts.
Contracts can—under certain conditions—be enforced by third parties. Because they benefit from the contract, they can sometimes enforce the contract.
Thanks to Software Freedom Conservancy, this is probably the next best legal hack after #copyleft itself.

If you are looking to buy a new phone, consider #FLX1 from @furilabs. You can still run Android apps if you need to, but for most things you can use the same apps that you use on laptop (many of them adapted to fit on a smaller screen like I'm using Firefox right now). FuriOS is based on #Debian #Trixie. I have a Purism Librem 5, but most people in my circle find it very expensive/unaffordable, but FLX1 is very much comparable price to most Android phones of similar spec. #FreeSoftware.
Thanks to the bits and pieces collected by @isyourbrainFOSS we can now support the alert slider on the #Onplus6/6T to toggle #feedbackd's full/quiet/silent profiles.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
