Got a cheap USB microscope to look at some samples "fossicked" (gathered from mine waste) from Great Wheal Charlotte, closed in 1840, situated on the cliffs near St Agnes (https://www.mindat.org/loc-210320.html). Not sure, but my best guess is that this might be Sphalerite - a semiconductor (when pure) and zinc ore. This image is a mosaic as this (£25) microscope can only do 640x480 resolution otherwise. #Fossicking #Minerals #Gemstone #Cornwall #Semiconductors #Mining

A friend of mine recently burned out on maintaining open-source software and communities, and had been half-joking for a while that they wanted a sassy license to the effect of "I release this code for free, take it or leave it, or go do it yourself".

Tonight I wrote that license for and with him. Please enjoy the "Fork Off" Public License, v0.9: https://github.com/klardotsh/fork-off-public-license

(I'll tag a v1.0 after any feedback y'all might have to clarify things or make it funnier. Forking it is also of course ok.)

Also spotted first 'I ❤️ nuance' bumper sticker in the wild, which I think comes from the fabulous Seamas Carey whose brilliant podcast 'the reason why' is well worth a listen for anyone who wants to understand Cornwall's complex social issues a bit better https://seamascareymusic.com/the-reason-why

@celesteh I guess it's the how that I'm interested in, if there are people out there who have done this successfully without making things worse

@celesteh I run my own business/organisation so there is no HR or line manager! Also not a man doing it...

@yaxu you'd think, but that would require them stepping up, and I guess conflict aversion is a common trait!

How has anyone successfully dealt with a tone policer? Like what can you actually do when it's happening to you repeatedly from one person, in a work context, only ever in group settings?

@ianames yeah we lived that last year, no fun, especially for the dogs. You could prepare for its arrival by acquiring a little gas stove and kettle...
