schestowitz> Here, all the articles are highly focused on every individual, whether Dec 05 03:13
schestowitz> they are beginners, average users, or advanced users.Dec 05 03:13
schestowitz> I just found your site, techrights.org <http://techrights.org>, and Dec 05 03:13
schestowitz> would like to share the articles with your audience if you give me Dec 05 03:13

schestowitz> Kind regardsDec 05 03:13
schestowitzHi, looking quickly at the site, it is mostly howtos.Dec 05 03:13
schestowitzI've just added the RSS feeds.Dec 05 03:14
schestowitzDo you plan to also publish non-howtos? If so, we can republish in the front page of Techrights, not just daily links:  http://techrights.org/category/news-roundup/Dec 05 03:14

schestowitz> Hi,Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> I really believe there’s a problem with the articles I post at Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> TuxMachines. Almost none of them are being shared on Twitter.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> For example, the 4MLinux 41 article… it wasn’t shared when I published Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> it last night, but today when the indian from DebugPoint posted it, it Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> was immediately shared on Twitter.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitz> That’s not fair!Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzIt's impossible unless mastodon messes something up. I post EVERYTHING to diaspora. From there, it gets relayed to Twitter, in the background, and then mastodon picks it from twitter.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzI don't check if all the relays work correctly, as they should, so what you're seeing is not me omitting something.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzI post originally in https://diaspora.psyco.fr/people/dfba90307f78013ad90d001e67d879dfDec 05 03:20
schestowitzFrom there, it should go to TwitterDec 05 03:20
schestowitzHaving just checked, I DID post it:Dec 05 03:20

schestowitzSee date.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzNow, if that didn't get across to twitter, then their system is messed up.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzI never check Twitter. Twitter can go to hell with Musk.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzThere was DEFINITELY no intention to leave anything out! :-)Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzThere is the same stuff in mastodon, gemini etc.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzMaybe even Musk's twitter is rejecting some stuff; maybe it's Twitter's own fault.Dec 05 03:20
schestowitzRe: Suggested Perl resource?Dec 05 03:21
schestowitz> Hi Dr. Schestowitz,Dec 05 03:21

schestowitzCheers,Dec 05 13:31
schestowitz> For how long…I don’t know. It could be 1 day or 1 year. It depends on my health and other stuff. I have tried prioritizing, doing things on a day to day basis that my stamina will allow, and the things that give me pleasure. The Blog was a prestigious and pleasurable activity…but not so much anymore. To sum it all up with an old Yiddish expression…Vus Vul Zein, vul zein. “What will be, will be.”Dec 05 13:46

schestowitz> Very strange, my 4MLinux 41 post did not appear on the actual Twitter timeline of TuxMachineshttps://twitter.com/tuxmachines  so something is going on... maybe with Diaspora?Dec 05 14:51
schestowitz> Dec 05 14:51
schestowitz> I posted one now and it appeared on Twitter immediately. Will keep you updated if the error occurs again. Thanks!Dec 05 14:51
schestowitzOne theory is, Musk's shitty Twitter added restrictions and limits, so you only see a subset of what's posted in Diaspora. It's outside my control. Dec 05 14:51

schestowitzBy default, Raspberry Pi OS uses the PIXEL desktop, says Christian Cawley. “Based on Debian, the Raspberry Pi OS has a modified version of the LXDE desktop environment. This is accompanied by a unique theme and the Openbox stacking window manager. Together, this is known as PIXEL.”Dec 05 20:33
schestowitzIf you want to try something else, however, several Linux desktop environments can be installed instead. In this article, Cawley lists six desktop environments for your Raspberry Pi, including:Dec 05 20:33
