Generally, I have a strong preference for #OpenSource tools. I’m on a limited budget (or just a cheapskate, take your pick), running Linux Mint (Cinnamon) by preference. I’m not opposed to other/paid tools, but I’m not going to run Windows for various reasons, and I have no interest in subscribing to software-as-a-service options like #InDesign. I have a Mac available, and have some vague recollections from years back of being generally happy with #NisusWriter, so I'd consider that as an option.

LinuxFest Northwest is here and I'm so ready.
There's something about being in a room full of people who genuinely care about open source that just recharges the batteries.
If you're here this weekend come find me. Let's talk Linux, homelab, or whatever's on your mind.

#Firefox Has Quietly Integrated #Brave's #Adblock Engine
Shivan Kaul Sahib, the VP of Privacy and Security at Brave, has put out a blog post about something that didn't make it into the #Firefox149 release notes at all. The browser now ships #adblockrust, Brave's #opensource #Rust-based #ad and tracker blocking engine.
Shivan also mentions that #Waterfox, the popular Firefox fork, has adopted adblock-rust, building directly upon Firefox's own implementation.

The Trump phone still isn’t real
Where's the Trump phone? We're going to keep talking about it every week. We've reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone's whereabouts. We're back to being ignored, and the phone seems no closer to an actual …
