Alright guys, I don't expect too many replies, but this Friday I'll be streaming, and I want to do a #RoomReview or #setupReview and want to see your rooms and/or setups. Feel free to reply with them.

Indeed, despite me being a Christian, I have always decided to separate my worldly politics from religion - forcing your beliefs on people is no way to convince anyone to follow Jesus, it just breeds resentment and hate, which is antithetical to all we should stand for. Free will, not forced will.
Abso-feckin-lutely. OTOH, right-wing extremists are forcing their religion on us. They're also forcing revised history, junk science, anti-vax-related health issues, and deadly lifestyle/reproductive bans on an entire nation. Land of the free? Not at the moment.
That's excellent, so I've added #AltText so that more people can appreciate it.

This video expresses some interesting ideas about switching OS to linux, and how to avoid the pitfalls that tend to stop people from completing the switch. but rather than try and explain it myself, botch it and get into arguments, I'll leave it to @glitch.mov

As I'm sure most people who know me know. I am an aspiring aviator. I've done my trial flight, and am looking at doing my medical.
If I pass the medical, I will get my pilots licence.
Aviation has been an inclusive agency. It never bowed to sexism and it sure as hell won't bow to racism now.

Merry Christmas to all!
And to all, a good festive season!
To all who are going it alone this season or doing it tough, hope you find something fun to do.
It's hard to celebrate when there isn't much to be happy about, but a little creativity and positivity can do wonders.

Hey just wanted to ask, have you bought any new e ink devices lately? Just checked back on Boox, the tablet maker from one of your older connextras, and now they have hi res coloured e-ink.
They seem to have improved display performance somewhat too.
