Meetup.com has lost their minds, didn't they? 10 USD a month to see who will be attending events, and to get a Meetup Plus badge.

This is just to attend, not to organise anthing. 🤪
In a world where most meetups are dead.

What do you use for buying ebooks? I am looking for a website that sends you a download link I can forward to my Kindle.
I am using boekenwereld.com for Dutch books, and it's great. I'd like an English book so every now and then too ;-)

@paul Anderhalf uur ofzo. Maar ik loop het liefste om 5 uur, en daarna lekker schranzen. Omdat het dan het beste smaakt.

Seeing “Today’s puzzle games” in the top right corner of LinkedIn feels like a throwback to the Farmville days on Facebook.

@zachleat I think this is something cultural, the Chinese are very into QR codes.
