I’m probably the most impressed AND grossed out by the several people who gifted an actual red Onion until the paper arrived in the mail. That’s some smelly-ass ingenuity right there.

As a @frame.work laptop owner, the companies recent promotion and inclusion of people in the community who have a long and un-reversed track record for being harmful to other open source communities makes me sad.

Best question from Texas LinuxFest:

"If everything is a file in Linux, what kind of file is imposter syndrome?"

Answer: /dev/null - you keep writing to it but nothing actually persists.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Rocky booth. You reminded me why I love this weird, wonderful world.

Nah, I prefer the term "emotional debugging/troubleshooting"

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

Could this be one of the first somewhat large scale natural experiments that concretely show data on the prevalence of ad blocking tools?

Many affected youtubers have shared their analytics data to help figure out what's happening.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

What was the @hankgreen.bsky.social video where the key point was something about "ask yourself whether you can afford to financially contribute to something - that is enough"

Can't find the video but love the idea and think it has interesting applications for crowd funding open source communities
