@Big_Diggity A text to speech engine that I use in the terminal.

I just used espeak to convince my 4YO that it is bed time…no protests or anything!😂

@Big_Diggity it does work over OpenVPN.

Do you know about KDE Connect?

@mkwadee Ah, visiting Kew was one of the activities that we had planned but skipped on our 2018 trip. The Mrs was quite pregnant and we had to make some concessions. Next time Kew Gardens, next time…

Pretty cold out! Join us online for worship this morning at 10:00AM(MST).

Sometimes I look up random old-style websites that aren’t loaded with ads and JavaScript. This one was the most interesting today:

@dancinyogi When we were dating, @mary was caring for her elderly grandfather who had to move in. There was plenty of $ to send him to a home, but she (and her mother) took care of him as long as she was able. That spoke volumes to me about her character.

@Aslanmane Just getting info so I can 😊

I just made a leasing inquiry...why not?

I'm leaning towards a 501c. There would be products/services but it would be cool to have volunteers with a community supported feel. Maybe @ajroach42 can offer some insight?

@marcosgutierrez @Big_Diggity You know, that is cool and I wouldn't have considered it. There are a lot of engineering folks who kinda hate the status quo but don't know about free alternatives. If they had a place to learn about workflows and provide feedback/funding to developers, they might be able to come out ahead without proprietary software.

@Big_Diggity I'm mildly entertaining the idea. I was at the mall tonight and thought, "What if I put a Linux store right next to the Apple store?" Things I would do:
-Sell new computers with free OS's
-Convert/update/repair computers
-Have displays for people to demo
-A counter of "# of computers liberated!"
-A coffee/lounge/forum corner
-Classes for education
-A few museum pieces
-Great quotes all over
-Plushies of Tux, Puffy, etc.
Give me some more ideas!

If I opened a brick and mortar freedom focused computer store at the mall (think Linux, BSD, System76, Purism, Pine64, etc.), what would you want to see and what would make it worthwhile to shop there?

@MisterRogersSnapped One of my friends is a producer for a few iHeart shows/stations. They run pretty dang lean and most do it as a passion. I think 5 years ago, the last of our local stations sold out to iHeart. Radio really is a glue that helps hold our society together.

Cooked wheat berries (Farrow) + BBQ rub + honey = Delicious

@ladyhope I have seen .msg files that are emails. They opened up in outlook.

When I wrote the date today, I got the year right first try! Things are looking up.
