Ich bin sehr stolz auf mich, dass ich letztens einem Arbeitskollegen vom Mann ein Exemplar von mit den Worten in die Hand gedrückt habe: "Hier. Dir haben die Bilder gefallen, jetzt musst du auch die Texte lesen."
Ohne Rumdrucksen. Ohne rot zu werden. Wie so'n Profi.

I use this for self published book covers & social media posts. I find it has a good selection and is much more safe and reliable (in terms of proper licensing) than the completely free places. @bookstodon

Corporate Spam Bot
@linux

is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.

@linux

Portrays as linux the products of IBM (systemd, Qt-corporation) and the distros that promote them by prohibiting alternatives.

BAN the corporate spam bot from all servers!

@yianiris@kafeneio.social avatar

RedHat is/was to IBM what Qt is to Oracle, vehicles of domination into the open free ecosystem. Marketing dictates what "free" code to use.

Show me 1 ONE article in phoronics that "mentions" alternatives to systemd, and I will not speak of linux or foss ever again!

That would be etc.

@Rustmilian Now that is not

Sometimes, traditional has us shaking our heads. This is a stand-out example.

To quote the article, "... why would any book publisher choose a non-reader, with no BookTok following, to go on a cruise to promote a handful of books that the influencer has never read?"

ssanf01 , to technology in Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question.

@retiolus

Per això no ens hem de quedar només amb el nom.

Sept 17: How do you promote your writing?

Instead of answering, I went through all the responses thus far and made a spreadsheet of the answers. (This is absolutely non-scientific and possibly inaccurate, plus there's no data as to how well these strategies worked, but hey, I was curious and thought maybe others might be interested too.)

I also have a list of "Other" answers that didn't fit neatly in these boxes or struck me in some way-- I'll link those next.

CBI Image of the Day

PACER, Electronic Associates' digital computer, added to their line of analog and hybrid computers. The computer had broad applications in the R&D and process control field, ca. 1970s.

The image is emblematic of the computer industry marketing male gendered/privileged environments, women models, & inuendo & seduction to try to sell computing & software systems.

Vielleicht sollte ich mal wieder darauf hinweisen, dass ich Bücher schreibe. Zuletzt ist von mir die erschienen. Leider gibt es noch keine Sterne auf irgendwelchen Verkaufsplattformen. Nach allen Rückmeldungen, die ich bekommen habe, ist das Buch trotzdem sehr gut. ^^
Erhältlich ist es überall im Buchhandel und u. a. hier: https://www.bod.de/buchshop/der-atem-des-drachen-nike-leonhard-9783748133315
