Today a 14 year old wrote an email proudly explaining how they installed #postmarketOS on their Acer Chromebook, and asking if I could send some stickers to their postal address. I invited them to #FrOSCon (where they could get a lot of stickers!), since that's a family-friendly event, and otherwise said I would try. They replied very happy to get a reply from a pmOS maintainer, and "see you in Sankt Augustin".

I'm just so happy I made the day of this kid :D

The funniest shrinkflation I have seen is that the cheese I get now has holes in it

You may think “isn’t that how it’s supposed to?”

Sure, but that’s only for specific cheese like Emmatal!!!

Mild cheddar does not have holes in it!!! Cheddar is cured in such a way so it becomes one solid block!!!!!

How TF are they messing with the cheddaring process to give you just, less cheese?

And because of that, it actually tastes slightly different and worse to how it should be

At the start of this year I was using TPE's ticket booking system and app.
It is terrible. An incoherent mess. There is not enough time and sweary words to describe how horrible it is.

Then a month ago, @seabass tipped me off about TrainSplit, and I am now forever in their debt.

Trainspilt online, and in the app is how rail booking should be.
Clear, consistent, a range of filters if reqd, good info in the app whilst you're travelling, and unlike LNER, you can purchase more than one ticket at a time!

My favourite option is using Exclude Operators to ensure I never have to travel with #crosscuntry !!!

Thank you @seabass
Thank you #TrainSplit

(They also save you some money...)

Google's profound contempt for journalists is on display as it rewrites publications' headlines in search results, sometimes altering the meaning and intent of the original. https://www.theverge.com/tech/896490/google-replace-news-headlines-in-search-canary-coal-mine-experiment

The company calls it an "experiment" -- as if that makes it OK.

I'm looking for full-time work!

I work at the intersection of social and technical systems, and specialize in building up people, programs, partnerships, and organizations around open source.

I have a deep track record in complex community relations, am fluent in the nuts and bolts of many technologies, and have spanned governance, org development, nonprofit and people management, comms, marketing, events, and beyond.

Let's fly!
