Is there a self hosted version of Google Earth?
If you don't mind some learning curve, check out QGIS: https://qgis.org/ ...it can pull data in from many different sources and it's free :)

Facebook flags Linux topics as 'cybersecurity threats' — posts and users being blocked
The irony is that they said this from something running on a Linux box.

US Congressman : "I have a message for America's trading partners. You better set a level playing field for American manufacturers and farmers, or we are going to destroy you"
The field has been tilted in America's favor for generations...they're finally getting a taste of a real level playing field.

Teaching new users how to find, subscribe and be able to post to communities that aren't on their own instances is the biggest hurdle in the Fediverse I've come across so far. To find this community for example, all they have to do is put "![email protected]" in the search box while logged in on their instance and they'll find it and be able to subscribe. Also getting the idea across that they don't have to have an account on the instance where their favorite community is in order to subscribe and post there.
Aside from that, maybe a list of communities in the Fediverse that closely match popular subs on Reddit eg: /r/all, /r/worldnews, /r/videogames, etc.

TekSavvy puts itself up for sale amid industry turmoil
Here's a non-paywall link: https://archive.is/qfn4r
We were Teksavvy subscribers for 10 years but switched to Bell Fibe last year...all Teksavvy had here was 6 Mbps DSL with a lousy 720 Kbps upload speed. Felt bad because I liked them but needed better internet for today's demands. CRTC screwed them.

EndeavourOS is an Arch based distro only a lot easier to use...pretty happy with it. I have it down to that or Debian.

Dystopian Reddit runs on fake content (must read)
Reply in thread
"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"

How is reddit traffic doing?
I have no official measurements but when I stop in occasionally, I notice it's much more responsive than it used to be :)

Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?
EndeavourOS is the best 💪

The Pirate community should just abandon DNS altogether and use IP addresses...most of us are savvy enough we don't need that Pablum anyway 🏴☠️

Do you use Arch btw? Best Arch distro?
EndeavourOS is my first choice, CachyOS is my second choice.
