Had a new face show up for the walk today. She used to do stocks/trading but wanted to see what this Bitcoin thing was all about. #SanAntonioBitcoinClub #SABC #ProofOfWalk #BitcoinWalk

One Laptop Per Child initiative. SugarOS is a fun project based edu platform for about Pk-5th grades. One thing I always appreciated about SugarOS is the calculator has full scientific functions in it. She educators scoffed at the idea saying it was to complex for kids. I said, what is the worst that could happen, they'll learn something?

KDE Neon here, use to hate that it had some many configuration options. But once you settle in and dial it in to your preference, I like it well enough...for now!

Here is another gov leaving behind Micro$oft Office for the Open Source alternative Libre Office https://libreoffice.org to the tune of 30,000 PCs:

"This is not just about technological independence but also about economic aspects. At present, our administrations and businesses are trapped in a system characterized by monopolistic structures and high licensing fees. […] It is a core responsibility of our state to be able to influence the operational processes of its IT systems at all times and to ensure the data security of its citizens and businesses. […] The necessary conclusion can only be: Open Source software must become the standard in our digitalized administration."

This reminds me I had a 3D scene in Blender I need to get back do along these lines. A dark circus them on a drab night.

Both actually. I haven't publicly annouunnced my company on NOSTR yet, waiting for my biz partner to figure out some relay logists first. But everything we do revolves around Linux and Open Source tools to provide business solutions
