I apologize if my english isn’t perfect in how you would say it daily, but I hope it’ll help with Linux popularity and as a reference for future days....

I think about accepting the challenge and boldly solder SMD where I’ve never soldered before: Doing the Quansheng UV-K5 4732 addon PCB modification myself 🙈...

Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?...

I have old Facebook and Twitter accounts, maybe some others. I’m old so there’s a MySpace account out there. But I’ve mostly been using reddit the last decade or so, and have migrated to Lemmy. Now, Lemmy is the only social media i use. Recent news got me thinking about this question.
