New #blog post: Setting up #Gnome (Linux) for #seniors. I've been looking into how to best set up an extremely simplified and limited #Linux for #elderly people. There don't seem to be many pre-existing efforts for this, so I figured I'd write a short blog about it.

@dansup I switched to decaf coffee a while ago, and I must say—if you get some good decaf beans, you really don't taste any difference. Can recommend to anyone.

Don't know how it works on the American continent, but where I live we have this nice website for information on how legit the different environmental certifications are: https://www.keurmerkenwijzer.nl/alle-keurmerken/koffie-thee-en-chocolade

@evan It's not this exactly, but it reminds me of the fallacy Apophasis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophasis

@tk But... Wayland doesn't use xorg, does it? Disclaimer: I don't know what Cage is.

How do we get the #musicians to join the #Fediverse? I've tried to convince my colleagues to join #Pixelfed or #Mastodon, but haven't had much success. It is a community that can be surprisingly reluctant to embrace something different, digitally. (Also see: Apple products.)

They can also be quite ethically conscious people, so I've tried to approach it from that angle, but... Is there a succinct list of convincing arguments anywhere to help with these things?

@lukemartell @kappazeta Oof. Useful, but maybe a tad unfiltered 😅 Still, might be useful to that person who was planning on making videos for the Fediverse... Let me find her tag.
