It kind of bothers me when people say there are no new regular users coming to Linux. In a country such as Colombia, where most people run "non-licensed" Windows copies and lose data and money every day, it's getting easier to convert people to Linux. And I don't mean techies; I mean normals: small businesses, freelancers and even entire families. I love Linux podcasts, but they so often forget there are people outside the US and Europe. Is anybody else in this instance from LATAM?
It'd be so nice if PIA VPN had real support for Fedora...
Something that keeps popping up in my mind when I see some Canonical employees' reactions to "bad" comments about Microsoft online is, when will MS buy Canonical? Or are they already talking about an acquisition?

#Colombia #Elections #Politics #Opinion After watching the left and the right's campaign unfold this year, all I can say is that Facebook is the worst thing that ever happened to political discourse. The amount of hatred and fake news that was displayed by both sides was... astonishing, to say the least. We have a long history of civil war here. I hope another one is not on the way.
There's a special place in heck for people who put images in their email signatures.
I've been playing around with Hugo lately. Not saying I'm creating new themes or anything like that; just customizing some templates and having fun with it. I've to say I'm impressed. Easy to use, lots of options. Great static site generator.
Bitcoin price manipulation with Tether in Bitfinex. "The shocker..."

Today is an EXTRA special day. Why? Well I'm glad you asked!
So I decided I'd try something different with the blog. I wrote an article based on an interpretation of part of the GDPR, then I recorded me basically reading that article aloud.
It's an audiobook...thing...of sorts, I guess. Anyway, check it out and tell me what you think!

I've been looking around the Internet for a solution to the snap cursor theme change issue. It's happened to me in KDE neon, Ubuntu MATE and Kubuntu 18.04. It's annoying to see the cursor change all the time while hovering between snap and non-snap applications. Has anyone here had any luck solving it yet?

I've been playing around with the flatpak versions of some of my favorite applications (Geany, Gradio, Audacity) and I have to say that I'm impressed. They run so smoothly... And the integration with the GTK theme in my old Xubuntu 16.04 box is just impressive. Hats off to Flatpak and Flathub.
