@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Looking forward to see what comes from your work with Motorola (current and past phone have been Motorola for last nine years). Interested to hear what other collaborations are in the pipeline too.

Petition to sign if you think it would make any difference*

Migrate UK civil service to open-source software for data sovereignty & security - Petitions
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/766230

* I sign petitions but rarely expect them to make any difference even if they get a response from 10000 signatures or discussed in parliament on reaching 100000 signatures

Petitions - UK Parliament and UK Government

Petition: Migrate UK civil service to open-source software for data sovereignty & security

I want the government to develop a plan to migrate all civil service IT systems from proprietary software to secure open-source alternatives. This should setting clear targets, budgets and training to ensure full data sovereignty, enhanced cybersecurity and support for UK innovation.

RE: @tarsius@fosstodon.org

Do you use #emacs and #magit or #transient ?

Help one of the stand out #emacs package maintainers and developers by making a donation, no matter how small (ideally recurring).

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net someone after my own heart. We have rich, descriptive and effusive languages that carefully describe intent and meaning and yet people dumb things down and place an onus on the listener to decode what is being said. I detest Three Letter Acronyms (TLAs) they are the bane of modern conversation

@mwichary@mastodon.online Beautiful, thanks for taking the time to write and craft that.

Muscle memory is so underrated but it's something that takes time to learn and develop. I've used #emacs for decades but still don't have all of the key-chords memorised.

I do sometimes mistakenly use the #magit key-chords in the terminal though and clobber my commit messages (C-c C-ccommits in Magit but erases the command line message I've typed!).

I also abhor touch-screen UI for typing it sooooo slow.

@budin @thomasfuchs Check out whether you can use Calibre to get ebooks onto the device. https://calibre-ebook.com/ Works fine for my Kobo. (Although I refuse to use versions >8.9.0 because of the introduction of "AI" features) #calibre

@NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net Weird given in the opening paragraph it states...

@graue@social.coop Thanks, really interesting and useful article. As a recent sign-up I was confused about the metrics as they were showing for me by default. Once I enabled "Preferences > Appearance > Advanced Features" they disappeared from posts. Never bothered to think about the ratio's though.
