What if Christmas was an NES game? What if that game had a soundtrack? These extremely normal questions finally have an answer!

#Discogs is such a fantastic site for buying #Vinyl albums, but one glaring feature that is missing is notifications for when a rare album is posted for a reasonable price.

Looking at the sales history of one album that is currently for sale at $140, someone was able to buy it for $90 last month and $55 in April!

I promise my entire timeline won’t be about working out from here on out!

Why is there no #fediverse alternative for platforms like Strava yet? I know you could set it to private, and then share the results here, but that misses a couple of points about both the ease of use, as well as the privacy aspect of still using a centralised platform to store workout data. Maybe I’ll tinker with something during my sabbatical

Day 5 of my holiday/sabbatical. Next to running everyday, I’ve also added some core strengthening exercises. Auch. It’s been almost 2 years since I last did those, and I can feel it

I shouldn’t have to say this, but please don’t post direct links to the elementary OS ISO, especially on release day. This is my only form of income and I really don’t make a lot of it. I want to keep making elementary OS as my job, but when you bypass our pay-what-you-can ask it cuts directly into the revenue I rely on to pay rent and buy food. The vast majority of people already pay nothing when they download. Please don’t take away the biggest opportunity I have for folks to support my work

What do you mean you don't obsessively count the number of chocolates in a tub of Celebrations every year and put the results into an Excel spreadsheet!?

Anyway, the 2025 results are in:
Bounty x5
Galaxy x5
Galaxy Caramel x5
Maltesers x5
Mars x9
Milky Way x9
Snickers x9
Twix x7

The tub itself has gone down another 50g since 2024 (100g since 2023!)

Hard to believe that I used to give this content to Zuckerberg for free, you're welcome Fediverse!

Version control best practice: Write commit messages that complete the sentence "If applied, this commit will..." This creates clear, actionable descriptions of what each change does. #Git #VersionControl

@EUCommission

Thousands of people across the EU are already building exactly this - spaces where people come before algorithms.

You and I are both posting on one right now.

The Commission has shown leadership by joining the people-not-platforms Fediverse. Please consider reflecting that commitment by adding the Mastodon logo to the "Follow Us" section of your public website.
