Open systems and open source software only work when as many people contribute as possible. - Build your own systems if you can, but avoid trying to cannibalize similar projects. Learn to code and solve your own problems; you'll end up solving others' problems in the process. - Contribute to existing projects. For example, find, report and fix bugs (if you're able to do the latter) for the open source software you use. - If you can't code, there are other ways to contribute, whether that's donating, adding reports to ProtonDB, or something as simple as spreading the word about good projects. - Clear misconceptions from people who use proprietary competitors. There are plenty of these. Get informed so you can help them realize that many open source alternatives are as good, if not better than their proprietary compatriots. The more people who are using and contributing to open infrastructure, the better the outlook of technology's future will be. #opensource #Linux #coding

I posted the other day about my increasing interest in vinyl records... One thing that kept things from being as great as I would like them to be is my budget record player. I have an all-in-one Victrola suitcase record player which, if you dive deeper into the hobby, you know isn't great for a long-term option as it's meant mostly for novelty or for beginners than serious audiophile-quality listening. This was most noticeable when the audio would get loud. Higher frequencies tended to create a bit of distortion/buzz that made it less enjoyable during the intense parts. I still enjoyed the listen because it wasn't unlistenable, but it just wasn't as clear and strong of a sound as I normally like. Then, out of the blue, I pop an LP on the Victrola and it sounds literally flawless. One of the loudest and most intense songs by MONO (currently my favorite band) is "Com(?)" from their second album, One Step More and You Die. It has some very loud and intense parts as it builds up, but as I listen to it, the only distortion I hear is the intentional distortion present on the recording. I didn't do anything differently, either! I just did my usual cleaning routine and that's it. It's really strange how this just suddenly started working as if I got an upgrade when I really did not. 🤨 #vinylrecords #hobby #music #musicstr

Today's Word5 was so stupid, I got all but the first letter and tried as many words as I could think of, only to learn that it (SPOILER) starts with a vowel that was already in the rest of the word 😂
