#thoughts The future is environmentally safe, sustainable (green) energy, which comes from many sources, such as solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy, etc. The key necessity is developing “green batteries”. A battery is nothing more than “stored potential energy”. The key is to find green, efficient long-term methods to convert and store this energy. (Part 1/2)
Quality news media? Well, I start by knowing the way the news outlets lean, and then try to choose those of the highest journalistic quality. If I don’t have time to read from both sides of the political spectrum, then I try to focus on the most central of the high quality news outlets. Often, there is a downloadable app that I can install that makes it easy to read my news. Here is a nice chart that I like to refer to when determining media source quality and leaning:

I’m searching. Other than #debian what other distro offers this?
* The most software (including 3rd party repositories)
* Independent—free of corporate influence
* Huge support community
* Excellent documentation
* Very flexible—can be minimal or full featured
* Numerous Desktop Environment choices
* Supports multiple chip architectures
* Between stable & bleeding edge (similar to #debiantesting)
* Dependable & requires little manual intervention (unlike #archlinux)

Regarding #touchscreen capable Linux desktop environments, I’ve personally had the best luck with #gnome. Does anyone know of any desktop environments that are as good as (or even better) than Gnome when it comes to working chiefly from a touchscreen? Is there anything new and exciting on the horizon?

Windows 11 is an assault on user's ownership of their computers.
If you want to run Windows 11 - you can't run Linux or anything else unless Microsoft explicitly lets you do it. What if they don't let you? Hah!

A special message from FSF president Geoff Knauth: The more associate members we can count, the better equipped we are to defend #UserFreedom, and educate people about its importance! https://u.fsf.org/3hf
@davidoclubb I've never tried that one. I'll have to give it a go sometime. I moved to #LinuxMint several years ago and moved my partner's and father-in-law's laptops soon after. Both were amazed how their aging laptops became like brand new again. I often get the impression that the Linux community look down on Mint as something 'just for beginners'. As far as I know, there's nothing you can't do on Mint that you can do with other Debian based distros. I use RedHat at work and that's good too.

Dear open source users,
If the author of your favorite open source app has announced they stopped developing and supporting the app (because they're frustrated and possibly burned out), please don't suggest they do more free work so that you can continue using the app.
Instead, consider thanking them for their past work and let them know that you enjoyed their app.
Regards,
another open source developer

How Giorgio Moroder & Donna Summer’s "I Feel Love" Created the "Blueprint for All Electronic Dance Music Today" (1977)

One or two accounts regularly posting things that don't interest you is manageable, but the more you add, the easier it is to lose the signal in the noise. With no algorithm working to keep you addicted, it's easy to let your Home timeline get overrun. Follow freely, but also be ready to unfollow for basic quality of life reasons. The Federated timeline can be overwhelming, but your Home timeline shouldn't be. You have to tend it like a garden, and a little pruning goes a long way. #feditips
