Was just "informed" that Linux is horrible for gaming and anyone not using Windows is making they're life complicated for no reason.

This convo was completely unprompted too. Just brought about because he happened to discover I use #linux.

I assured him I didn't care and I hope Microsoft is paying him for the ad space.

What I like the most about the #EndOf10 campaign is that it DEBUNKS the corporate bullshit from #Microsoft that #Windows users MUST upgrade to Windows 11 or else it's game over for them.

This is not just about #FreeSoftware vs proprietary software, but about a destructive ideology that implies producing megatons of e-waste is a good idea.

Meanwhile, the FOSS community is LAUGHING at Microsoft's face while installing libre OSes on 19-year old computers.

#Windows10 reaches EOL today. Microsoft's message is clear: buy new hardware or pay.

For millions of users worldwide, perfectly functional computers will suddenly become "obsolete" - not because they can't run an operating system, but because #Microsoft says so. This isn't just about one OS reaching EOL. It's about a business model that treats your hardware as disposable e-waste and your security as a subscription service.

Users shouldn't have to choose between security and #sustainability.

@SapienTLG What is the deal with the NSA? When I ask them for a backup copy of my data, they try claiming that they don't have it even though I know that they do!
Going to finally get around to putting together my own NAS soon. #linux #privacy

Hey #AskFedi,

Is *anyone* out there using FOSS for accounting?

I'm struggling with Quickbooks desktop (which you can only get as a subscription now, unless you pay four figures for an enterprise license).

#Xero comes highly recommended to me, but I'm loathe to go "#cloud" for accounting. Very loathe indeed.

#BoostPlease?

Edit: Thanks for all of the feedback so far, updates and clarification following in a reply...

American Gods is available digitally for $2.99, which is quite cheap. This is the Amazon Kindle link, but normally all the digital services match each other: https://amzn.to/3q8GBmG
Free advice: use #Firefox

Xenos - BookWyrm

<p><em>The thundering sound rolled through the thawing vaults of Processional Two-Twelve. Fists and palms, beating at coffin hoods. The sleepers were waking, their frigid bodies trapped in their caskets. I could hear footsteps above the screams. Eyclone was running. I ran after, passing gallery after gallery of frenzied, flailing forms. The screaming, the pounding… God-Emperor help me, I will never forget that. Thousands of souls waking up to death, frantic, agonised. Damn Eyclone. Damn him to hell and back.</em></p> <p>The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. Inquisitor Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power – an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.</p>
