People have been asking me exactly what #RelationshipMarketing is.
Relationship Marketing is about forming long term relationships with customers, rather than trying to encourage a one time sale. The best way to gain new customers is through referrals.

Great review article about my Distro of choice, #PCLinuxOS on #itsfoss :
The last #QANTAS 747 making her final flight to her final resting spot. The Queen of the Sky will be missed. She, with the aid of flight crew left a final message:
Are there any #Newsboat users here?
If so, can anyone explain to me how to set MPV to automatically open in fullscreen when opening YT/Peer-Tube feeds in Newsboat?
I've set a macro to open the videos with MPV but it doesn't open in full screen.

Hello Tag, a new feature that allows you to publicly or privately tag people and accounts in your posts.
Think of it like a mention but with more privacy!
It will be rolling out later this week, we look forward to your feedback.

I now have my install of #pclinuxos configured perfectly for me. Still only a week in, and still loving it.

hi yes so I basically never talk about the whole open source thing out of fear of sounding like a broken record, but I'd like to throw a reminder out there about it all
- **Open communications technology allows us to organize securely**
- Open software allows us to verify with certainty that nothing malicious is happening
- Open licensing allows us to collaborate on projects to make them better for everyone
- Open software is generally free (price) or extremely cheap, meaning anyone can access it
- Using open software is easy and gets as hard as you want it to be.
- There's a wealth of information and people out there that can and will help you take back your technology. Ask and you shall receive.
The same cannot be said about restrictively licensed software to any degree.

Gotta say, I'm loving #PCLinuxOS. Have it running on both my machines. #linux #foss
Testing #pclinuxos on my backup machine with a view to installing it on my production machine. So far so good.

From Noob To Power User With Linux Mint Cinnamon
I've never been into #gaming much, but one game I loved playing was the orginal #PoliceQuest. Anyone know if it is available on #Linux?
