Stay updated with @opensuse's status.opensuse.org! When #openSUSE infrastructure is down, this keeps people informed. There are some partial & major outage due to recent moves of infrastructure. A bit #ThankYou to the people helping to resolve the issues.
Thank you to the art lover from Saint Paul, MN - United States for purchasing three Canvas prints of my handpainted acrylic paintings Yellow tulips triptych left, middle and right together. May these artworks bring joy into your life and home.
Thank you to the buyer in Greenwood, South Carolina who purchased a framed 9x12 print of Virginia Mourning Her Dead. I hope you enjoy your purchase! The sculpture honors the ten cadets from VMI who fought and died on the battlefield near New Market on May 15, 1864.
@yorik We should not wait for such post to say thank you for everything you do and how you make the open CAD/BIM world progress, but better late than never. Therefore, a huge #ThankYou , and lots of good vibes for these difficult times. #OpenSource#DevelopersLife
Just wanted to thank everyone who has ever contributed to #NewPipe! I use this amazing app every day. Getting to watch ad free videos from YouTube for free is amazing in itself, but also to do it, and subscribe to channels, without having to tell Google about what I watch and like? That is the good stuff right there! And the swipe controllers for brightness and volume in full screen mode is great, the whole user experience is just so much better than most other video apps.
*** UPDATE Serval House Heaters *** THANK YOU!!! There are now enough heaters for all four of the Serval/Caracal Buildings!!! All of the small cats will be toastie warm this winter. THANK YOU for the heaters, the donations, and all the likes, shares, and comments. Your support is truly truly appreciated!
Early Thanksgiving thought: I'm very thankful for all of you here; it seems all the thoughtful, kind, and considerate folks I knew on that other site (and many new friends) are here; for whatever reason, the attention-seekers, people-only-on-social-media-for-ego, and hate has not crossed yet into the Fediverse (or has successfully been defederated!), and for that, I am thankful. #thankyou
I had forgotten what the internet used to be like 20 or more years ago.
But it's just occurred to me that a couple of hours ago I asked a bunch of random strangers a fairly random question (about repairing a broken watch) and quickly got back multiple helpful and informative replies.
This is what the net used to be like, back in the days of usenet and email lists and the early web forums. And most people have probably never experienced it at all, their impression of social media being very different from those of us here on the Fediverse.
PS: It's probably very unfair to call you "random strangers". Even in just the 18 months I've been here I've found and chatted with people I'm happy to call friends, even though I've never met them face-to-face.
Germany is going to double (!) the planned military help for Ukraine for the coming year. Instead of 4 billions of Euro, Germany will send 8 billions of Euro, making it by far the 2nd largest contributor of all military aid to Ukraine.
