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.

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.

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.

Seems like most people take their political humor/mockery straight to text posts or maybe static meme images.
Some seem to be meming in video form. But is anyone meming in audio form?
Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_74N..., or maybe some kind of mashup/remix edit that uses clips ridiculously

You don't need any more justification than "this no longer serves me" to make a change in your life. Really.
So you'e no longer the version of you that aligned w/ the old thing. So what.
Turns out you don't need to explain-- or defy-- the universal truth that humans change.
