  My daughter was advised/encouraged by their teacher to take a Linux (sic) command line course. She was enjoying it until she unexpectedly hit a paywall at chapter 4 (of 6). Can you recommend a free as in freedom GNU/Linux command-line course or tutorial? #askfedi #dtv

  @joeposaurus@chaos.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de @statichost@mastodon.social Good for you. I wish you would have done it to move away from proprietary software to open source, and away from big Tech to cooperatives. To me the US/European angle is not really helping.

  @nuintari @jesterchen @actuallyautistic > I didn't "want" this question answered one way or another. Is that so? I now believe you were specifically looking for speakerphone conversations that are way too loud. And I also believe that's what around 97% of respondents people assumed and actually answered to. > The reason it is rude is because of the effect speakerphone have on conversation volumes: It drives them up. Those are two separate things: talking loud vs s...

  @petko Well, genAI has nullified copyright law, so fair.

  @millihertz Not looking forward to/catering for a switch to the GNU Hurd? Not interested. #Linux #glibc #gnu #hurd
