Enjoy the wrist-sized Linux ride!

I personally believe the most logical, and long-term sustainable solution with the most control to the "Android becoming more closed" threat, is to fund and support @postmarketOS and alike initiatives.

a fully decentralised solution developed by the whole FOSS ecosystem together is infinitely better than depending on the whims and generosity of big tech companies.

And, they still get to support the ecosystem by committing Linux/etc patches upstream, it just has better power balance in the end.

One of my favorite things of FOSS is inclusion. It’s not required to buy these things, but if I want it (and I do!), I can feel the inclusion with the LGBTQ+ community. 💙❤️💚

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/recognition-of-work-on-open-source-as-volunteering-in-germany#petition-main

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

Time for a new poll on the channel, this time on how much, or how little you customize your desktop experience!

I moved to Google Forms for this one, as Nextcloud Forms didn't let me split things into sections depending on a previous answer. Still no personal data collected on my end.

As always, I'll make a video about the results, to see whether desktop defaults are sane, or if people change them :)

Share it widely to make sure it's as representative as possible!
