As I've been learning Emacs I've been using the Emacs Reference Card provided by the FSF which is designed for printing, black text on white background. I needed it in Dark Mode for screen use. If it would be useful to anyone, you can find it at this link.

🆕 blog! “Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux”
For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport.
I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics.

I'm looking for a hybrid tablet/laptop experience I can use with GNU/Linux, ideally with Trisquel. I'd prefer to walk into a shop and buy it in Aotearoa, ideally in Waikato. But I'm willing to order online, from a known reliable supplier, if that's my best option.
New or quality used is fine. Beat up but working considered if its cheap. Any suggestions?

It's nice that they're at least moving to LibreOffice, but it's still disappointing that they're sticking to Windows for now.
Zorin OS 17.3 review - Would you pay for your Linux desktop? • Dedoimedo
｢ Zorin OS tries to set itself apart by offering a paid version (about EUR50), which comes with additional software, tweaks and support from the developers. Technically speaking, you can also pay for Ubuntu, if you like, or try the pro set of patches, which ought to last you a decade plus. KDE is also gearing up toward having its own commercial distro ｣
There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech#EU

My youngest (18) has just told me:
"finally switched from Windows 11 to Linux, and it's so much better, I'm surprised. Much cleaner and my style, I'm annoyed I didn't do this earlier"
&
"I think my favourite thing is not having windows yell at me about their new ai product or whatever every 5 seconds"
I couldn't be prouder. #Linux
This is our take on Crypto. It has not changed. There is a reason why we have not included Crypto in Vivaldi.
We are very proud of the features we have added, but we also proud of the "features" we have not added.
