The Tiring Ride to Rising Tide. :-)
Day Two - Tarago to Sassafras. (The purple leg in the map below).
A beautiful cycling day. Pleasantly cool with light drizzle. Rather large hills though, and I suspect I have triggered some tendonitis in the knees.
Overnight was a lovely, remote campsite 4km off the main road. With no car noise and no mobile reception. Bliss!

Today is #EqualPayDay in Europe.
From today until the end of the year, women in the EU are effectively working for free. ๐ธ๐ซ
In the EU27, the average gross hourly earnings of male employees are 12% higher ๐ than for women.
Thatโs 1.5 months of unpaid labour each year. โผ๏ธ A direct result of the persisting gender pay gap that Europe still hasnโt closed.
Closing the gender pay gap is a political choice. Equal work = equal pay. โ
Sorry, I am not pointing the finger at anybody. And you are right, in many specific cases there are many reasons for not paying.
However, by looking at the big picture, observing so many volunteer-based projects (e.g. mastodon servers) run by generous people who struggle to meet ends, i think that we have a general societal problem.
And I think this amounts to the general attitude, that has been built in people's mind in the last 20 years, that software applications and internet services are basically for free. And this is why we are in such a dire situation of monopoly on basic internet services.
It's just my point of view, of course, feel free to challenge it.
An example of "users want everything for free".

Codeberg has over 200k accounts and only 1.2k members, which, if we assume that the recommended membership fee is the average, works out to ~50kโฌ per year in membership dues.
Theyโre begging for old hardware to run CI jobs, because they canโt just go out and buy a Mac Mini.
Please, folks, if you think a non-USA alternative to GitHub is important, and you have the disposable income: put your money forward.
Or, if you just want to donate once:

De Margraten actie begint rond 44:30.
@ascentale @gbargoud @bikenite #BikeNite A6. I prefer low maintenance parts that are easy to fix.
What makes you think a belt drive or hydraulic brakes are not easily repairable at home? They require no more skill than repairing chains or cable-actuated brakes, just different tools.
@ascentale @gbargoud @bikenite
#BikeNite A6. ABSOLUTELY prefer easy to fix, standard parts. For everything and anything. Better if you can buy them at ANY bike shop if you have a problem, and which do not require special order. This is the case for anything I own (bicycling or not). Too much proprietary stuff = BAD (IMHO).
Crowvember offering 12: "The crow, being a tool user, knows how to fix his cassette."
And yet so few of the entire human race - using cassettes for several decades - ever understood what caused those cassettes to unwind and tangle their players in the first place ๐
we all knew how to do that, eh?
@bornach @residuum @BillMcGuire
Oh, that's great! I figure the old pencil my parents had which DID fit nicely was probably circa the early 1960s, when they would have been in college, though it could even have been a holdover from earlier. I'd love to know what it was. This was long before I read "The Pencil" by Henry Petroski, in which I learned the fascinating history and variety of the "simple" woodcase graphite pencil!
#2 pencils all over the Earth.
I'm astonished to find that Nick Cave's music is still being sold on cassette. But it is!
