Thinking seriously about migrating my GitHub stuff to Codeberg. You can find/follow my account at codeberg.org/joeld. I have enjoyed GH as a social network of people making cool stuff, maybe more so for that than for the actual git hosting. Hoping for a nice fungal network transition.

I’m seeing non-local folks admit to subscribing to the republican-owned Minneapolis Star Tribune. This is not the move. If you want to fund local journalism, Racket MN is writer owned and deserves to grow.
On Saturday, restaurants and businesses all along Nicollet Avenue opened their doors for protesters and mourners.

The rare case where I'm driving and need to remember something so I hit the button to trigger voice memo recording on my iPhone. I talk for a minute and only then do I see the app is showing a "are you enjoying the voice memos app/rate this app 1–5 stars" dialog box. The recording is of course gone.
