- Read a book like Isaac Asimov’s Robot series, many of which are murder mysteries. …

Not one of #Microsoft’s best choices… out of a long history of making bad decisions. Disenfranchising millions of machines that will no longer be able to run a valid and/supported copy of #Windows is just dumb. Very dumb and great for Linux. #tech #Apple #linux 9to5mac.com/2025/03/1…

If you’ve been looking for a #cyberdeck, then you’ve got one more day to get in on the #Pilet #Kickstarter. They’ve already raised CA$1 million of their CA$20k goal… yeah. Popular is an understatement. #tech #raspberrypi #hardware www.kickstarter.com/projects/…

So, I’ve essentially stopped using #Windows. I have one Windows 10 machine I use to play #MarvelRivals, but that will soon change. I use #Mac and #Linux for everything else. Rather than explain why, I’ll let @EposVox@glitch.lgbt take the lead. #tech www.youtube.com/watch

Things you can do instead of watching America being peacefully handed over to a criminal - Inauguration Special 2025
Don’t watch the news today since all they’ll be talking about is how great and normal it is to just hand an entire country over to a criminal in the name of a democracy that’s been utterly broken and shreaded. If that leaves you unsure of what to do instead, here are some suggestions:

Ugh. More #Microsoft bullshit to deal with. This is a few days old as I’m catching up on my news feeds but is important to know if you’re one of the unlucky ones using #MicrosoftEdge on #Windows 10 or 11 (or just 11 in general). Switch to #Linux or #Apple already! mjtsai.com/blog/2025…

The so-called #CyberDeck, inspired by cyberpunk culture, has become quite popular in recent years, facilitated by all manner of DIY computer components available for cheap. The upcoming Mecha Comet is one such device, and I think I’m in love! #tech #hardware #linux #opensource liliputing.com/mecha-com…

I’ve never seen a video as compelling as this one, and I’m not even an #Adobe user, at least not any more. But it’s a lot more than about ditching Adobe, but leaving #Windows and rediscovering our technological #agency through #Linux and #opensource. #tech www.youtube.com/watch

I was a fan of #Ubuntu for a very long time and essentially started using it with Hardy Heron in the mid-2000’s. They then introduced Snaps and ejected DEBs so ditched them for a range of distros until settling on Linux Mint, Fedora, and KDE Neon. Ubuntu has fallen far from their early highs by bringing focus and ease-of-use to #Linux, and Nick runs that down nicely. #YouTube #tech www.youtube.com/watch

Now, THIS is very cool! I’ve been quite excited about the rise of so-called cyberdecks in the last few years, and this looks like one of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen. Powered by the nicely capable Raspberry Pi 5, the Pilet 5 (5" with integrated controls) and Pilet 7 (7" with a unique modular design) are full-on #handheld computers with a lovely #retro esthetic. The #Kickstarter campaign starts soon, as well. #tech #raspberrypi #rpi5 #cyberdeck liliputing.com/raspberry…

Are keyboard shortcuts really more efficient than a mouse?
" “>
As a Mac user, there is one very specific admonition from Windows and Linux users I hear frequently; too much mouse! But I’m not just a Mac peep, I’m also a Windows and Linux guy. I started as an Tandy Radio Shack kid, became an Apple ][ kid, then a PC teen, and ultimately a Mac jerk (read: young adult.) In the mid-90’s, when the public internet was spun up, I was still a Mac guy sporting a PowerBook 145b emitting a veritable thatch of SCSI peripherals. But the story gets even more complicated.
When I met my wife and started my second phase of life as a writer, I was working on Windows books. Without any PCs at the time, I did all my work in Connectix Virtual PC. Later I would upgrade to a PowerMac 7300/200 and buy a …
