The amount of running related ads in Berlin at the moment timed for the marathon this weekend make it feel like running is some kind of global cult… which I think it’s fast becoming?

As a non American I hadn’t heard of him until this week, but seemingly I was supposed to have also according to Americans. Sorry was a bit busy with concern over Poland and France 🤷

Agreed, everyone is focusing on the hi nonsense (and a lot of it is) but some of the 26 features are great!

Anyone in my network at the The Linux Foundation energy event next week? Or who lives in Aachen?

Say hello if you are and I'd love to say hello back in person!

Quick reminder to all the marketers and email spammers at the moment…

NOT ALL countries have a holiday weekend this weekend.

Thank you, that is all, yours, the rest of the world.

Where is it? I couldn't tell… if it's in Berlin say hi! I seem to almost never know about events in Berlin even though I live here. Marketing 😩

Carrying back a cat tower and pack of chia seeds from the store must be the most middle class and middle aged thing I’ve done for a while

Sometimes I frantically disconnect devices from the internet to stop a sync… Sometimes, depending on the app you can rescue previous versions too.

We'd especially love to hear from those of you working in non-English European tech media, as that's not a field we know so well and want to know how healthy it is.
