The Document Foundation makes a classic mistake: Instead of telling enterprises what's in it for them if they pay for enterprise @libreoffice, they lead with how not doing that affects @tdforg. It's no way to make a sale, either for real $$$ or the other kind of buy-in. https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/02/03/libreoffice-7-1-community/

GThumb is my go-to photo-editing app. It handles embedded captions in JPG better than most apps, which isn't hard b/c GIMP is seriously lacking in this capability. You can start in GThumb and bring in GIMP or any other program to do further edits. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gthumb

I only upgrade Vim in Windows every few years or so, and honestly, it's a pain in the ass. First I had to keep the installer from deleting my _vimrc, then I had to remember that I needed to change my path. Yeah, this is easier than NEVER NEEDING TO DO THIS in Linux.

I installed the Flatpak of Chromium in Debian Bullseye because there is no deb-packaged version available now (and maybe never). Yes, I do understand that Debian Testing is not ready for prime time. 1/

I couldn't take it any more. I installed the Chromium Flatpak in Debian Buster. My bookmarks synced. My "need Chrome" shift is coming up. I'm not sure if Chromium will ever come into Buster via a package in the Debian repo.

.@CentOSProject Stream 9 will launch in Q2 2021, says this FAQ. When is that in human months? https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/faq-centos-stream-updates

One of the things I really like about RHEL/@CentOSProject is the ability to choose from 3 different versions of various applications. It's a nice feature (and great for developers).

.@debian is conservative, and so is RHEL/@CentOSProject, even in the form of Stream. For the kinds of uses I have, Stream could really work.

I used ffmpeg on the command line to convert an API video to MP4 so I could upload to Twitter. Very easy — anybody can do it. (I Googled.)

One thing I'd like to see either from @CentOSProject Stream or @rocky_linux: A live image. @Fedora does it, and so should the "enterprise" distros.

The bridge on an acoustic guitar (flattop or classical) is a strange animal. Wht's keeping it stuck down despite the pull of the strings? Glue. Crazy (not the glue, the situation).

Nonfree images get a little bit of visibility on the "Getting Debian" page, albeit at the bottom. Better than nothing. https://www.debian.org/distrib/

The debian-devel mailing list has been burning up with posts on Debian being unfriendly for "hiding" nonfree firmware. While I prefer STARTING with nonfree (and use those images to install), Debian has always been a better second distro than a first for new Linux users. https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

This 2017 HP laptop ran great under Debian Buster and even better with Bullseye. Firefox is easier on resources that Chromium (which Debian was having trouble with BEFORE all this sync drama). https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware

I know that @robinhood is supposed to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Not so much for @RobinhoodApp.
