Open Source software: “How can I adapt this software to my needs?”
Proprietary software: “How must I adapt my needs to this software?”

(A thought that hit me an a seminar, that I wanted to make a note of in case I need it later to neg my workplace's over-reliance on MS Office.)

Request for feedback from people on #fosstodon and beyond: me and my colleague Juan have been working hard to ensure that our upcoming workshop at Mobile Tartu 2026 is as reproducible as possible. Please can anyone interested in this #datascience and #reproducibleresearch space 'kick the tires' of our pre-requisites page, up to scratch? Any issues reported very welcome 🙏 https://github.com/tdscience/tartu26/issues/2

I think I would enjoy #fosstodon a lot and would like an invite. I’m a big home labber and computer science major. I think I’d enjoy mastodon more on that side.

I'm happy to rediscover the fact that I actually have a #Fosstodon account which I apparently registered back in 2020, and then promptly forgot about.

I don't suppose anyone is able to provide an invite to the #Fosstodon instance?

I've been a dedicated #Linux and #OpenSource user since 1995, and I've recently started making contributions as a contributor liaison for #orgmode, an #Emacs mode for taking notes. I'm learning more #ELisp, hoping to be able to make code contributions soon as well.

Uploaded pictures for evidence.

I'm not letting this disappear. Someone at the #Fosstodon admin team might want to ban that account for harassment.

It was valid criticism, not an attack from my friend.

Purportedly, there's a ghost in an antarctic radio station server room that responds to people's messages and plays 90s and 2000s DnB. https://radio.someodd.zip/

Getting out of vehicle with phone in hand, decided to reach back for my water bottle dropping my brand new Furilabs FL1Xs causing a large crack. Hoping @furilabs will send/sell me replacement screen. Overall the phone has been a so-so experience. I enjoy being on Linux but have had some real annoyances I wasnt expecting which may lead me to getting a different daily use phone.

Bluetooth has been really hit or miss. Garmin hasnt worked at all with it which is frustrating.

Also the sound not having different options so i can mute everything but my alarm clocks.

Ive yet to get landscape mode to work in the camera.

If screen can get replaced ill keep at it a while longer, if not I may go iPhone

I just realised I'm not financially supporting #Fosstodon I thought I was! Fixed that.

Support your instance, folks - it's a tonne of work (and money), trust me, I know first hand.
