What are the stories and articles that are like "Trump said this, the White House defended it" trying to achieve?

#olio is an app to fight food waste. It let's you find food that would otherwise go off, give food, but also things.
As the goal is decent, I was willing to overlook some of the bad, starting with it not being FOSS.
A few years ago, the web version of the service was killed off. Hmm.
Then […]

There's a dude with a Saves The Day hoodie at the co-working space. Specifically a "Through Being Cool" one.
I will just have to ask him if he is Banned from the Back Porch.

So many impressions from my first visit at #fosdem
One is the vast amount of stickers @nlnet offered at their stand. One stack of stickers for each project they funded. Absolutely impressive.

Verry happy i managed to squeeze in a quick dinner at the Judy Vegan post #fosdem in Brussels last night, before my train. As usual, satisfying food and a friendly atmosphere.
I nearly made myself late but it was worth it.
Next year, we should petition for them to be part of the food offering […]

My idealized version of my own masculinity is best represented by a tree. Patient. Immensely endurant. Self-sufficient. Unbothered by trivial, ephemereal affairs. Innately kind to the world around it.

I don't know why I got this coffee. I remembered it being really not great from last year, it's still really not great. They didn't miraculously start making great coffee. Have I learnt nothing? #fosdem2026

Seriously, it's a chat system we use for business, you now a professional setting, why would you suggest I react with "😘" or "🫶", what's wrong with you?
Also, the list of "frequently used" shows emojis I've literally never used. Again, what's wrong with you Slack?
