Keith asked a nice question, and then I accidentally threaded. Oops.
I do feel sometimes that being a developer should be a perfect part-time job for a mum working from home - other times I feel like I just don't have the time to really sink in and think deeply and thoroughly about my work.

I think there's a larger story about being a woman and and working part time in tech...
Before I start let me say I have one of the husbands that truly steps up and does at least half if not more of the housework and child rearing.
BUT for reasons, it makes sense that I do drop offs and pick ups.

So @hl came through for my birthday and bought me this shirt!
Thankfully not *just* my armpits changed colour 😅
And it's a fun effect when you sprinkle or touch some cooler water onto it!

Hello fine #retrogaming folk - I just tried to install and run UAE4Arm on my Pixel 9a and it didn't seem to want to do the thing.
Specifically I want to play the original Lemmings and Populus and maybe James Pond 2: Robocod on my phone! Is it possible?

OK let's say I do finally decide to move my personal computer over to Linux - I have two questions:
Is it easy enough to run Windows inside a VM in Linux, if I want to test with NVDA or JAWS screen readers?

Again I wake up to hundreds of aurora photos wondering why on earth my extremely online self saw no hint of this being a thing when I was scrolling last night past my bedtime.
