Even Ted Nugent deserves #UserFreedom. Free software is for EVERYONE.

I'm considering using a password manager. I run a minimal archlinux-based system. I don't care about synchronizing with any other machines, just about making an encrypted backup of the password bank in a file I can put in an exterman HD and not worry about. Any suggestions?

Even more importantly, what to look for and what to avoid when evaluating alternatives? (My scepticism against software is what kept me away from this type of program for the last decade and a half...)

It's always nice to learn that a project has a bot that tells you that your pull request no longer applies cleanly and needs to rebased, after it's been entirely ignored for months.

The #FSF is one of the carefully selected charitable organizations across the US that federal, some state, and local employees can donate through payroll deductions, support #FreeSoftware by supporting the FSF in Combined Federal Campaign. https://u.fsf.org/3gs #GiveCFC

So I go to pick my kids up at school and get there early the yearbook teacher wants me to come help her get photos from a Google photos album I made at a track meet a week ago.

I had sent her a link to the shared album but that "didn't work". It turns out because the school filters that site. "Can't you just air drop them to me"... Well, no, that's an iPhone only thing. So I suggest she bulk downloads the album on her phone. But the photos app doesn't have that option

Say yes to Device Neutrality, that ensures we control our own hardware!
