Any news on Bios updates for Linux though?

Black Mirror is not an instruction manual, people. Quite the opposite. Can we stop trying to make every episode real?
No idea if you’d enjoy it but I’ve been keeping a (digital) diary since 2018 (in a .txt file) and for me it’s really fun either checking out what I did this day last year (two, three years ago) and also randomly reading around. It’s a really nice addition to having photos (and my dreams would be to somehow combine the two, easily). So many things I’d never remember without this, like the one time the electricity went out for a afternoon in my town. I’m just writing a few sentences each morning of what I did (ate, worked, watched, felt, thought) yesterday each morning.
Interesting, the name sounds familiar, it’s not based on Matrix and they’re planning encrypted messages. Oh, you can self-host it!
Can the next big thing please not be a cancer for humanity that further erodes human society?
Check out Brackeys new videos on Godot. Haven’t personally seen it yet but his stuff was super helpful when we both worked with Unity back when.
Substack is just another platform where the nazis run wild thanks to capitalism or misguided ideas of what free speech is supposed to mean.
Been using it for half a year now, it’s amazing and running flawlessly as a flatpak on Fedora for me.
Yeah, that what I was thinking as well.

Only dudes, though, right?
Ah, yes, “substantial substance” (for real impact, no less), thanks robo.
I understand your perspective but from a privacy* and cost perspective it would still be favourable for governments, companies and individuals if you run a Linux desktop instead of Windoge even if you only use it to run webapps, I think.
Plus govs / companies would have an incentive to make Linux desktop more secure / user-friendly if they’d use them instead of just giving MS money without having a say in the products.
*not even / only the “there is no malware on Linux” - which is untrue, see the recent xz thing - and would be worse if it got used more but esp from the ad-/spyware build into MS products.
Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I think that was one of the reasons given why it didn’t work when other stated / towns tried switching to Linux … I hope in the future governments might be wise enough to demand that the programs are platform independent / (local) web apps but I’m not holding my breath (see public money, public code which still almost noone does).
What’s an app vendor here? Or what does that mean in general? I feel like one of the reasons given on other (failed) attempts to switch to libre software has been that other public places / ministries etc still using MS had incompatibilities with e. g. Munich’s FOSS stack. Though I think this is something you could overcome if you wanted to, it’s not like these problems don’t exist (and probably have solutions) elsewhere. I think FOSS software has come pretty far in the last years, I haven’t booted my Windows partition in months, so I have a tiny bit of hope that they can make it work.
Evrything is political:

Deal with it.
The capitalist part of the Fediverse, that is, obviously.
I think they’re looking for a new maintainer for the Android version, hopefully they’ll find one but don’t depend on it too much
I hate this, I don’t know about this specifically but usually it would maybe not be easy but doable to do things right because (FOSS) solutions exist but thanks to politics, bureaucracy and capitalism it always ends up as a giant trainwreck of bullshit (with weird glitches where they get it right once every thousand tries like with the Covid app in Germany).
