Linux is awesome.

I just want to say that linux is awesome.

I finally figured out how to use Jenkins at work!

... And I immediately realized we aren't reaping even half the benefits of this thing 🙄

Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.

I got Plasma Mobile running on my x86 tablet, but it's slow as molasses and the installer (Calamares) won't run at all :(

Still it looks really promising. I'm excited for future refinements.

I'm gonna try to put in the time to move the Mastodon blog away from Medium onto our own servers.

We need to spread Mastodon urban legends

Like the instance that only federate at midnight on a full moon.

Or the dead user that can toot your soul.

I'm so hyped to binge pillars of eternity tonight.

I've only played for 6 hours, but I'm loving it

I feel like I should toot more often...

It doesn't matter what game I play...

Nobody knows how to stay on the damn objective.

It's really not that hard

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Morning, is in fact, GNU/Morning, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Morning. Morning is not a full day unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU day made useful by the GNU corelibs.

I’m gonna be honest. These ‘turn off JavaScript, no css’ cats get on my last nerve.

The web is a beautiful platform that has allowed us a fantastic medium to share and express data.

There a places that abuse this privilege, but everyone has the freedom to choose not support places that do.

Wanting to reduce the web to a text renderer because one doesn’t like a handful of sites is ridiculous and childish.

If you just want text, go read a book. Enough already.

Let's encrypt now supports wildcard certificates, so one certificate secures all subdomains. #HugheEffort #ThankYouLE
