I don’t give a flying fig who you have relationships with, what you do in your bedroom or what you do in your church, as long as you don’t expect me or anyone else to think, do or believe as you do.
I used to say that all my cultural references are 20+ years old, but that is now out of date. All my cultural references are from the previous century.

Thanks! I have been using MarkText as my notepad like editor, but not entirely happy with it. Also have used Zettler, which I probably don’t know how to use very efficiently (probably more features than I really need) but the editing screen isn’t quite what I like, so am looking forward to using yours.
I tried to install this from Discover (Kubuntu) and it said it was not in the repository. I tried the Flathub link and it gave an error (but it might be because of the content blocker on the wifi I am on).
And yet, I can’t read a book that Internet Archive actually owns a copy of.
This is a fantastic project and I wish you the best of luck with it and hope you have lots of attendees.
I do think there is a business opportunity (or perhaps a charitable one) of refurbishing/reselling older machines by doing just what your seminars are doing, but installing Linux and then selling the machine. Many people could use a machine that costs less than say, $200, but is still very functional for everyday usage.

Of course you have that in KDE, just don’t have a panel with a systray.
I recently “downgraded” from Neon (when they went to Plasma 6) to Kubuntu (which is running 5.27)
Overall I would say that Kubuntu has had fewer issues than Neon did, even excluding the Plasma 6 upgrade (which pretty much broke my system.)
Now that is driving me crazy, it looks so familiar, but I just can’t place it.👿
Found it!
It’s Librewolf, a Firefox fork.

There is an extension for Chrome based browsers that does the same.

Yes, content providers make money on YouTube, but considering that Google makes more than then they do as a percentage certainly begs for some other solution.

That looks good 😃

It would be nice if RSS feeds were easier to discover. I think people feel that no one uses them anymore and doesn’t bother to put it front and center or to make lists of good feeds to follow.

I use PiHole at home for sytem wide blocking and Vivaldi as my main browser.
I get the adblocker blocker on my main google account, but I have a couple of others for hobbies and I have not seen the blocker there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Piped is not blocked on my school/work wifi and looks better than invidious.
LibRedirect is Awesome!

I am sort of in a content slump right now. The YouTube adblocker blocker has me watching much less and noticing the content actually kinda sucks.
Most news sites are either paywalled or adblocked blocked or so stuffed with ads it’s unreadable.
Even my library app doesn’t have books newer than like 2019.
This DRM shit totally sucks.
@tubaruco
Perhaps, but finding one is a bit of pain in the ass. And since you have to register for each one separately, if they later block that on…meh
What gets blocked is random and weird…today it was an open source educational resources site.
Go figure.

First it had an issue where it would not open by itself (without being attached to a file) but I think that is fixed?
I am a very old school user, so I don’t like the very minimal menu system on the editor. Prefer a more traditional look and feel.
And don’t know if it MarkText or Markdown in general, but the formatting of the file (bullets, spacing, etc.) can change quite radically if I open a file in MarkText or some other MD editor. Tables are kind of an issue as well.
