Just supported #Thunderbird with a donation. If you can afford it, please consider supporting #FOSS, too. A small and simple step to independence from Trump and his tech flunkies.
I just posted a rant about behaviour in the open-source community with an emphasis on user entitlement.
@bagder I often think that a small initial fee to one of several charities to get a token to be allowed to ask a question to the devs of a #foss product would reduce the burden as it filters out many questions and trains people not to expect something for nothing. I suspect such a process would improve many aspects of the new foss age where the people who create things that make a difference end up snowed under.

In an analogy to cell biology, does #FOSS represent primordial soup? Or does it form organisms, with organs and skeletons that evolve? Is it maybe even an intelligent organism, aware of the world? Is a single FOSS project an autonomous cell, involved in protein exchange with its environment to sustain itself? Or is more like RNA viral matter, used for good and bad purposes, gratis. #sx
I got rid of Windows once again and installed Fedora. This time I'm not facing any issues like last time.

Supporting #FOSS projects (especially games!) is so important to do :)
DOSBox Staging v0.82.1 has been released
The main focus of this maintenance release is to fix a couple of regressions introduced in 0.82.0 and older releases, mostly related to game compatibility. The other big improvement is the CPU usage of the 3dfx Voodoo emulation has been reduced by about 50%, so your computer won’t go into hoover-mode anymore when playing those Voodoo games
check out the release notes for the details:

I guess #Linux users won't have to be paying $80-90 USD for our version of #MarioKart because we have #TuxKart
The benefits of a dedicated #FOSS community!
