Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.

Thanks! Thank god Twitter is so dead set on killing itself it doesn’t even need people or companies to make even the simplest moral decisions to leave it.

Not that there’s any chance of it happening, but this would be an ideal use of the shared Mastodon/Pixelfed API. All the social media functionality, none of the being associated with any particular service provider.

One difference being that Twitter is not (technically) dead - Nintendo Is removing support for a service that continues to exist, presumably because they don’t want to be associated with it.

Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?

I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.

Sure, it’s as Italian as a big mac and sauerkraut.

At which point the garlic kind of defeats the purpose.

After a couple of years in Tuscany I even started buying into the idea that salted bread is also a bit overkill.

Bruschetta is a completely different thing. I can’t remember ever having it with butter at all.

Pane all’aglio is just Italian for “bread with garlic”. Italian cook books will market it as an American dish.

Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all. Italians eat white bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Garlic bread is an American dish, popular among Italian Americans as a substitute as they couldn’t get olive oil in the US.

The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy’s couch gag.

The world is full of surprises!

Let’s see if Loops can fill the gap. Not sure if an open source alternative could generate enough hype to be viable - maybe if TikTok is banned in the US or something.

It’s just an app, yeah.

OpenStreetMaps is amazing, but it is a map, not a whole ecosystem like Google Maps is. As a map I find it’s often better than Google Maps, but what is still lacking are good front-ends implementing a wide range of functionality in a user friendly way.

On desktop I often use GNOME Maps, but it leaves a lot to be desired still and is obviously intended for Linux users running GNOME.

Not happy with OrganicMaps? It’s my personal favourite at least, and completely open source. Probably depends what your needs are. :)

Indeed, thanks!

It should certainly spice up performances of John Cage’s As Slow as (legally) Possible.

I’m sure you’re aware of it already, but WineHQ provides a good overview over which software runs well under WINE. :)

Very educational, thanks for sharing!

You go to @potus and follow him from there. :)

What a sad faith for a website named after the glorious Dodo.
