Thoughts on slowing the fuck down

Thoughts on slowing the fuck down

Day 4 of #30daysofbiking I forgot to take a picture while out in the cold dark so here's one I took inside of my folding bike's bell

A very personal look at the effects of induced demand.

> I drive I-94 to Stillwater every day because it’s rational. Here’s why that makes me the best argument for tearing it out.

We just released v0.4.1! Thank you to everyone who has provided support and feedback on the project over the last month! The aim of this update is to address some of the most common pieces of feedback and issues received, as well as adding a few extra goodies!

Just found out about @commetchat and by god is this a slick client. Finally!
Listen @element I like Element X, it's pretty and fast, but why is that the default to push people to when it's not done? Where is device management? Where are / commands? Where's half the useful features of Element Classic?

I also suggest making ample use of multi-account container tabs, as they help isolate scanning sites and cross site cookies.

Heavy drama in the open-source world of...

...Office Document Software.

Nextcloud, originally a fork of ownCloud, has launched Euro-Office, a fork of OnlyOffice (pissing off OnlyOffice). Collabora is weighing in and issuing comments against both OnlyOffice and Euro-Office while, itself, forking Collabora Office Desktop from the Document Foundation's LibreOffice. Document Foundation has now resumed LibreOffice Online which competes against Euro-Office and OnlyOffice.

(I think I've got all that right πŸ˜… Correct me if I haven't! πŸ˜‚)

Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft OS and don't (can't...) move to Linux. MS Office 365 is often used as a bridge to allow folks to move to Linux while still using Microsoft products in the browser but that solution still keeps them tied to closed source solutions.

Development of Free and Open Sourced Software (FOSS) office products, both desktop apps and online web apps, is a core and key element to allowing FOSS solutions to thrive - both for individuals and organizations.

This level of drama and fighting is indicative of a lot of effort and attention being thrown into this arena. I'm confident over time it'll settle and different projects will merge back together or at the very least borrow and build upon each's efforts.

The Register
Day 3 of #30daysofbiking I am somewhere over the Atlantic.

@mttaggart Cloudflare made a big deal in their announcement yesterday of a new CMS (which I had to read three times, wary that it was an April Fool's joke) that it comes with x402 support out of the box. The cynic in me wonders why this thing I had not heard of before yesterday is suddenly popping off all over the place
