@Suiseiseki or @Pi_rat would you perhaps like to edit this post so that the picture this character is pointing to is a picture of stallman? -

Workman is great but I think I need to relearn Qwerty again. Is it possible to memorize two layout at the same time? -

@sally No. The kernel distributed by Trisquel is not exactly Linux-libre distributed by FSFLA, even though it cleans non-free software from Linux (using linux libre scripts), it still retains kernel's ability to load blobs if user provides them.
So, I can ask friends what they want after explaining the situation, and then do whatever they choose. -

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Real computers don't have autocorrect. Only those demon rectangles.

@meeper
> I know like one friend who'd even know what an XMPP is tho tbh
They didn't know what it was before they met me. I told them that I'm not available on Whatsapp but on Quicksy app from play store. If they install Quicksy then we are golden. Otherwise I call, or email them to get notifications from them. After some time, these people also install Quicksy. Meanwhile I also try to make friends with lots of other classmates, and spend a lot of effort in maintaining good friendship with my existing friends.
You may feel like that you'll miss important news, but you somehow find out.
I'm using this method since my undergrad days. And now I'm doing post grad. -

@sun Just opened an account on videofrens.club today. Coincidence!?
Wish I could just upload the file, instead of needing me to provide a link. -

I take it as a compliment when classmate tells me that she knows I do not use ChatGPT without me ever telling her. -

Some people think that I have something to gain by them using free software. They laugh, insult, and argue with me against it without actually spending half hour knowing what it really is.
How much of a shithead do you need to be to not even consider that this information might be beneficial you? -

Congrats! You have successfully brought many people to use GNU/Linux as Windows 10 approached end of life.
You are also going to teach them to value free software and tell them about the history of GNU system right? right?

@prettygood
No, both sides need to have syncthing running. That's how I'm sharing large files with friends.
Actually, I like that I can share whole directory. -
