@Lowes Done! Thanks for getting back to me

[Alan Baghumian @AlanBaghumian]

I am no longer buying anything from Lowe's. They have redefined incompetency for the worst. Our washer breaks on Black Friday, we go to Lowe's and order a new one. I asked twice if the new washer is going to work with our existing pedestal. The answer was yes.

[Alan Baghumian @AlanBaghumian]

The delivery department calls and tells me I have to wait until Wednesday for a new washer and they can't give me a guarantee the next one is not broken???? What in the universe @Lowes? I am done with this nonsense. Done. #lowes

[Alan Baghumian @AlanBaghumian]

The delivery truck arrives today, they unload the washer and it is broken. The delivery crew tells me they will call me in 15 minutes. An hour passes and nothing and I call the store to figure it out. After giving them the full story they take my number

@linuxfoundation But it's 2025 isn't it?

[Ubuntu @ubuntu]

Last month, an 11-year-old Ubuntu fan named Boston, sent us this heartfelt letter, sharing how Ubuntu inspires him every day.

His words touched our entire team, and his hand-drawn Tux the Penguin stole our hearts 🐧🧡

Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical CEO and Founder, wrote back, encouraging him to keep exploring, learning, and creating with open source technology. We also sent Boston a special gift package along with the letter 🎁

On the 24th of January, the world celebrates the International Day of Education, so please join us in celebrating the curiosity and passion of young learners like Boston.

We believe education and technology go hand in hand, empowering people of all ages to dream big and innovate. Boston’s story reminds us of the incredible impact open source can have on young minds and the future they’ll shape.

Here’s to nurturing the spark of curiosity and supporting the next generation of innovators! 🌟

Very Well Said! #Ubuntu is everywhere. #Ubuntu20Years

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

I'm a full-time #Linux desktop user since the mid-90s, and I've been using @Ubuntu for a very long time. I'm currently on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and use this machine daily driver to manage a large fleet of Linux VMs, K8S, Docker and other stuff hosted at AWS and other service providers. Ubuntu introduces many new users and developers to the powerful world of Linux and provides a rich developer experience while maintaining a great balance between cutting-edge and stable apps. Congratulations to everyone at @Canonical and Ubuntu for building an awesome distro! #Ubuntu20years

[Alan Baghumian @AlanBaghumian]
