Thanks a lot for sharing this. I’ll keep it bookmarked for later reference, looks very cool!

Emergency? Which emergency?

But is FOSS actually more vulnerable?

I was leftie before I was techie. If you don’t know anything around tech and computers you wouldn’t know what to do. Even as a fairly tech-adjacent professional it took me quite a while.

Then again, I only became a real leftie again after kicking all the corpos out of my computer.

Tech used to be (and still is) obscured by heavy gatekeeping. We who understand a little more like to joke about those who don’t, and I guess we’ll have to stop that if we really want to unite the left. Don’t ridicule, explain. The person might never have had a chance to learn the concept.

For speech to text I also found Speech Note (not to confuse with Speechnotes, some similar thing from a different team I believe)

I found KDE Simon, and Numen … I’ve only ever used a commercial product, Dragon Naturally Speaking, many years ago. It was used so I could speak instead of typing texts but it did have functions to assign commands as well - don’t think it worked on Linux though.

Noooo what have you done? I download it, and then that’s all I will do for the next 6 months. I was clean. Clean!

Wait is Github enshittifying already? I thought that was on next year’s schedule?

Wow that sounds amazing. I’m not into heavy world building, but sometimes wish I were, and this sounds excellent and great fun! Is this a fork of the standard MediaWiki software?

I have just started, and decided to use Mkdocs for my personal notes, journaling, and a budding novel that kept buzzing around in my head and wants out. In the moment I just throw titles, links, citations and bits of text in a document, later I hope to be able to sort through the mess and separate into chapters. Let’s see. I’ve connected it to a git repository on codeberg for backup. I did this because I like to write in Markup and decided to use the same setup to create a static page for my business (with My Webapp on Yunohost to serve). Then I just kept the same for my notes. I like super simple folder based setups without too many bells and whistles cause I find them distracting. Focuswriter on the other hand was too basic without the ability to create links between files.

Great to know, I’m on yunohost and considered creating my own instance. I guess I’ll get to that when I take the step from rented VPS to home-run server.

I finally have my email set up with Thunderbird (and K-9 on my phone) so that I have mail and calendar stuff in one place and don’t use my browser for every old thing. Before that I was a brainwashed Google zombie for quite some years and used only Google webmail. It took so long to get rid of all their stuff.

I remember watching Chrome fill up long lists of ??? in the task manager, back when I still used Windows and Chrome on an old Laptop. Both CPU and RAM were working at their utmost and that shit blocked everything.
