This week we failed our tomato plants and they all died suddenly, leaving us with about 40 lbs of tomatoes, most of which were still green.
Yesterday was also @cwebber 's birthday, so I made a green tomato 'apple' pie. Despite my lack of pie-crust skills, it was a huge success!
I also figured, if I've got to cut slits in the top of a pie, might as well make them an ascii art space shooter ;)

Since June two massive protest encampments have unhoused people in Philadelphia have been demanding that the housing authority transfer their VACANT houses into a community land trust and give permanent housing to the unhoused protestors
AND TODAY THEY WON!! 50 Houses are being transferred into a community land trust owned by the unhoused protest organizers!! This is a HUGE precedent and a STRONG start! Philly is THE poorest major city America

Imagine a world where CalDav and GroupDav was more of a thing so vendor monopolization wouldn’t have been a thing. Where I could share a calendar and give one control without them having to be using a particular service. (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/79a114ce-6949-43e2-90e0-cd2d38fd27db)

Techy friends: I want to monitor my bandwidth usage on my linux laptop, to get an idea of which websites use how much data. I see there are several different tools out there I can use (https://itsfoss.com/network-speed-monitor-linux/), but if you have experience with any of them, I'd appreciate your recommendations and caveats! :boost_ok:

@cadadr @isagalaev @alcinnz There is also a related etiquette that this one brings up, but not explicitly: don't open files with lengthy lines (more than 1024 characters, for example), specially if your text editor soft wraps/folds.
Lengthy lines in files are typically auto generated ones (such as those from #HTML, #JSON, or #XML generators).
Adonay Felipe Nogueira
@cadadr @isagalaev @alcinnz I have an addendum to the “80 characters per line” ideology: it's commonly enforced in plain text editors to ensure that people reading from a terminal can see it adequately, or to make it easy to read even with big font size (in case of emails following that standard).

@alcinnz This is why @fsfstatus and @conservancy advocate for community oriented enforcement of strong #Copyleft such as latest #GPL / #AGPL with "or-later" option and keeping individual #Copyright. Also please foster repositories explicitly commited to follow the #GNU #FSDG.

For people who use screen readers, are keysmashes such as "aasjighasg" a pain in the arse for you, or are they okay?

#gamedev project idea:
finding some open sourced games that lack #accessibility features and adding them.
Adonay Felipe Nogueira
@grainloom Awesome idea, being #VisuallyImpaired / #blind and almost #colorblind, I do face some issues.
As an example: Angry, Drunken Dwarves; and #TecnoballZ have items with icons that are difficult to figure out what they are (either due to color or shape similar to each other).
The second also has a bug in which the items bought in the shop don't get activated in the next level.

@alcinnz @cadadr To vomplement, as a reply both for the #Windows installer picture, and for what @cwebber said about #Guix: making isolated packages is indeed somewhat old. Besides submitting to official package repositories, these should review stuff to guarantee #GNU #FSDG compliance, which is against #Malware and other stuff, which many #Distro's don't care. Common distros also don't remove repositories of #Python / #Pip, #Node / #NPM, #Flatpack.

@anelki @sir @fsfstatus and #UNESCO's #FreeSoftwareDirectory / #FSD / #Directory at https://directory.fsf.org/ could be used for such thing.
