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.
Quite possibly a luddite.

As a leftist, I find them annoying because they make me look like an idiot by association.
50/50 leftists and Russian troll farms or worse, by any charitable outside evaluation.
Full beards are great. I can go a week without any maintenance and still look presentable. Any other style of facial hair is just too much effort.
I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they’re cool again. I’m afraid it’ll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.
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 world is full of surprises!
Clearly Mike needs to stop being absurd.
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. :)
That’s @potus, for those on platforms that can view microblogs and that are not defederated from Threads.
Remember that comments are not federated to/from threads yet. If I understood correctly, likes are federated.
Well, the ones that federate with Meta will still be federated with those who don’t. So it’s really no different from what the Fediverse is already: Fragmented by design.
Then again, why would a fan page want to open for contributions from outside of that fan page? Why would the Star Wars wiki federate edits with the Startrek wiki? On which page of the wiki would this make sense?
I just don’t get it.
I’m not sure I see the benefit of this. The point that Wikipedia might eventually become corrupted is made moot by the permissive licensing of the information there. The main challenge of the Wiki format is with fact checking and ensuring quality, which is only made more complicated by having a federated platform.
ActivityPub is great for creating the social web. The added benefit of ActivityPub for non-social services is not obvious to me at all.
That said, it’s a cool proof of concept, and I’m sure it can be useful for certain types of federated content management - I just don’t see how it could ever make sense as a Wikipedia alternative.
In addition to what’s already mentioned in the comments, shout out to Inkscape. I guess it’s similar to LibreOffice Draw, but I prefer the user experience of Inkscape. Probably more for single-page PDFs.
Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.
