Coming to an instance near you!

If you're looking to get into Linux, as in, actually understanding/using Linux, I can only recommend trying out "Linux From Scratch".

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

It essentially shows you what it takes to build and run Linux in these modern times, and it'll make you appreciate the work distributors put into their work.

Lastly, you will truly get to know what makes Linux "tick", how to solve issues using the command line, and which packages actually provide what functionality 😊

Well, all you need to know about AMT and related stuff ..thanks Matthew @mjg59

And once again the #Linux & #OpenSource friendly #Microsoft does its best to damage them, even by breaking its own standards.

Zarafa (now Kopano) has been helping businesses reducing their MS dependency (& costs) by providing an enterprise grade and viable #OpenSource alternative to Exchange and Office 365 for more than 10 years despite MS trying to break the Outlook connector with each update.

Ditch Outlook!

The Windows Phone onscreen keyboard is unexpectedly bad at one weird use case: Letting me type keystrokes and having them appear on the screen.

I mean it gets stuck in some kind of weird feedback loop with it's popup autocomplete dictionary and I'm like no, no words, you're doing them wrong, just let me press keys and display them, thanks, and it's all 'But that's so pre-Web, let me OPTIMISE it for you with ALGORITHMS'

Result: A keyboard that can't keyboard.

Ubuntu 17.10 is going to be Artful Aardvark. They're going to repeat the alphabet again.

Dear fellow #Mastodon users. Please be patient with the people creating Mastodon and GNU Social.

Writing software takes time, and the teams working on these applications are very small.

Most of them are also wearing many hats. Some are students, others have full time non-Mastodon jobs. Some admin instances in addtion to writing code.

The Twitter kitchen probably has more people working in it than the entire #Fediverse. Please adjust your expectations accordingly! 😄

@aurabindo This looks like it could be easily solved by a similar thing that Twitter did - a little "Show n new toots" button up top

The federated timeline on this instance is intense! Are there any focus issues on Github open for this? I'd like to help out.
