For those with communal recycling and refuse containers: did you ever notice how many empty boxes still have the full shipping labels on them?

A gentle reminder: remove any label that has your name, mailing address (sometimes, phone number) and barcodes from the boxes you dispose of.

Don't put your purchase history and personal information on display for dumpster-divers or anyone else in the middle of the garbage cycle.

If my life was a first-person shooter, I would have roughly 25 percent energy left, I'd slowly run out of bullets, I still haven't found the red key, and I'm stuck at an enemy spawn-point.

Overall pretty immersive, great graphics, but the story sucks and is rather far-fetched.

Could you help us to improve this?

What is blocking you from contributing? (this can be anything. Could be even culture wise)

What could be done, so it would be easier for you to contribute?

Never again will I use Schroedinger's Parcel Delivery Service.

Ooh, look what just arrived.

(It’s the PinePhone UB Ports edition.)

Looking forward to sharing my experiences and thoughts once I’ve had more of a play with it.

You've waited long enough. The PineTab preorders are now open!

Libre Speed Test

https://librespeed.org

The page says "Free and Open Source Speedtest. No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit." and this is the better replacement to SpeedTestdotNet.

I know this one from @selea and @snopyta.

For anyone in the UK, the Government has just given Palantir, a surveillance company that I passionately dislike, access to sensitive medical records of Covid-19 patients for £1.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Might need to flash my phone soon. What's the degoogled android rom the hipsters use these days? Still LOS?

I Shared My Phone Number. I Learned I Shouldn’t Have.

George Floyd shouldn't have been killed. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Now people are taking to the streets and rioting, let's talk about that.

This is the longest article that I have written for something outside of work. It's because this situation is so strange and I wanted to condense my thoughts into a post. I've donated $10 to the ACLU and encourage you to do so if possible.
