Looks like the WiFi mesh was the right solution for the horrendous WiFi coverage in the new flat.

3 little mesh routers later, and I have excellent speeds everywhere on both floors, and, more importantly in the office where I edit / publish stuff.

Ah yes, clearly an admirer of the fine arts and a very detailed appreciation of my work!

If you can’t even bothered to replace the various placeholders, I don’t think you’re doing your job very well, David.

Either the Mastodon app has the math capabilities of OpenAI, or people really don’t watch my videos on Odysee 😅

I complained in the past that manipulating PDF documents on #Linux sucks. The default tools are basic viewers, but lack any modification capability, so I decided to look into tools that help you actually work with PDF documents.

Here are the best PDF tools for #Linux, to view, edit, merge, split, create, annotate, do OCR and more! Most are #OpenSource, but there are some gaps that commercial, proprietary solutions can fill as well:

I finally got my hands on a @system76 laptop: the Pangolin, a 15 inch ultrabook, sleek, with plenty of ports, a full AMD loadout, and solid performance and battery life.

If you want to learn more about it, here's my review:

Time for the weekly #Linux and #OpenSource news video!

In this one, we have @frameworkcomputer announcing a 16 inch laptop, with replaceable GPU expansion modules, we have @nextcloud releasing Hub 4, a new version with integrated AI tools, and a lot of updates to the core apps, and we have #Twitter planning to open source their algorithm at the end of the month.

Plus, screen sharing on Wayland should now work for every single app, and more!

I already looked at /e/, a degoogled Android ROM a while back, but now, it's time to try something closer to stock Android, with added privacy: @iode.

Not only does it give you a fully open source experience in terms of apps, but it also blocks all trackers and ads by default, in all apps, with a stock Android experience.

Let's take a look at how it compares!

@gnome 44 will be released tomorrow, so here is a nice (I hope) recap video with everything new!

From background apps,, thumbnails in the file picker, preferences to disable overlay scrollbars or mouse acceleration, and a few good solid updates to the core apps, it feels like this is a release that listens to user's wishes!
