GNU!

Just had to give a shout out to Stallman & GNU. I've seen a lot of mentions of thanks to Linux on here, but Richard will never let us forget that Linux ain't shit w/o GNU software to interact with it.

Just think of the number of GNU programs you've used, just in a typical day on the terminal.

My hat is off to you, Richard.

If I might add to your excellent reminder, that if you're lacking on funds but have some coding skills, most projects are in need of some help. Stick your head into the dev forum and try a low-hanging bug.

If you can't code, MANY projects need help with documentation, translation, marketing, fund raising, etc.

Writing a comprehensive positive review on an app store or review site can have an impact.

If you do have a few bucks but need more for them than a donation can offer, buying their products (when available) - even just stickers and mugs helps to spread the word around while also supporting the developers.

I can't count the number of expensive things I've been given for free or cheap-as-free, and fixed it with 0 to 1 easy steps.

It's astounding how easily people give up on things.

For the self-hosters out there, there's VaultWarden, which works seamlessly with all Bitwarden plugins and apps.

It's very lightweight and easy to setup and run. It has support for multiple accounts, so you can use it for your family, or business, or whatever!

I just got onto koreader earlier tonight! It's great, and works with my DRM and non-drm epubs.

Thanks for the HU, that just got them my business!

The plugins for obsidian are staggering in their scope and possibility. I haven't even had occasion to look at how to develop a plugin, because every need I could possibly have is met already.

This is exactly what could be going on all over the world - we only have to do it.
