Happy weekend from here, #puzzle fans!

Wicked Wonderful Wordies
a visual idiom puzzle
------------------------------
description
The word "run" built from repeated use of the word "mill" to form the letters.
------------------------------
Explanation:
Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame. The arrangement can be significant, and might be the key to recognizing the idiom.

The puzzle can be difficult to solve because the idiom or common phrase may not be common to the person trying to solve the puzzle.

Sometimes there is an "AhHa!" moment, though.

Answers and an archive of the puzzles is available at http://runeman.org/wordies. — Wicked Wonderful Wordies a visual idiom puzzle ------------------------------ description The word "run" built from repeated use of the word "mill" to form the letters. ------------------------------ Explanation: Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame.

We have made Microsoft’s commitments on Teams legally binding under EU antitrust rules.

Microsoft will unbundle Teams at lower prices, boost interoperability and data portability.

This means more choice for users, and fair competition ensured in Europe.

Why painting their greed with a "fair" (out)look if IT's everything but fair #software, #opensource or #FOSS?

You
@EUCommission could lead by example and recommend @jitsimeetinstances , but promoting their #surveillancecapitalism solutions might be a boomerang. Don't you think?

What #OpenSource and #SelfHost can do. Had an idea, discussed it here. Seemed to rhyme with people. Booked two domains. Created a landing page with #Jekyll and CI/CD from a #git repo on my #Forgejo instance. Created logo with #Inkscape. Added #letsencrypt certificate. Put it on my VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, (#RHEL) where it is now served with #Nginx. Git repo mirrored to #Codeberg so all can join. In under 8h.

Building the static pages for the website automatically with the forgejo runner that runs after every push to the repo.

Here's how my life works now.

I don't trust the Washington Post but I trust @Nonilex.

I don't trust the New York Times but I trust @GottaLaff.

I think about my recent experiences with #Debian and #Inkscape and #LibreOffice and I realize that it's all connected to one overwhelming personal truth:

I trust the #Fediverse.

The Screenshot tool that comes with Linux Mint does what I need most of the times. For more advanced uses I've found Flameshot, a cross-platform tool which can annotate screenshots.

@amoroso
Thank you for this tip, 👍 🙏
I use #screenShot all the time to help folks switch off of the old legacy OS and often need to highlite the salient parts of a screen shot.
Its has always been a huge overkill to bring up #inkscape or #gimp just to draw a red circle around something.

#flameshot is the right tool for the job.

Long live #FLOSS and #FOSS and our ability to use free softwarer.
