Hi, I pursuit your episodes. Love u from IRAN💚🤍❤
I can't wait to see the next episode https://beatcolor.com/virtual-dusk/
Wonderful! https://beatcolor.com/blog/best-canon-lens-for-real-estate-photography/
Nice! https://beatcolor.com/blog/how-much-to-charge-for-real-estate-photography/
I used to be totally against snaps, but at this point I have resigned myself to them. I have accepted that no matter how much the downstream distros revolt, or the users cry out, Canonical is determined to make snaps the main way to get programs, and there is no stopping them. So, I have accepted it, but I don't like it. I try to mostly use Flatpaks personally but I do have a few snaps on my laptop (I use Linux Mint personally).
Hello from Iran, thank you for this great podcast.
You'll be surprised, but some Google services work better with Firefox 😉
love this show
