I own way too many clicky keyboards. I love relaxing in hammock chairs and I have deeply obscure Simpsons references for every situation.

Someone in my neighborhood is driving an Audi RS3 (or maybe just an S3) in Kyalami Green and it brings me a nice bit of joy every time I see them on the road.

@dansup: humble idea: have you given any thought to the idea of a creator fund for Loops?

@mathowie when you drove your ID. Buzz back to Portland, how often did the infotainment system crash on you?
It's happening to me at least once a day and I feel like there must be something weird going on with mine.

I'm so annoyed by this long-term trend of desktop apps moving toward using in-window panels for absolutely everything.

Solution: take some, put them in a ramekin, top with fresh marshmallows, and bake

Ruby Central announced the next RubyConf in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkbRlYCJY0) but it just doesn't hit the same as their paragraphs of obfuscated PR-speak, so as a courtesy to the community I have provided a translation.
![Thank you for staying engaged as we move together. RubyCentral is committed to its stewardship of the community.
For this week's newsletter, we're sharing an announcement regarding community events, which is one of the areas we consider to be critical to the health of the Ruby community, both from a technical and interpersonal perspective.
There have been a number of questions shared from the community about such events, including whether we would be hosting them again, and in what capacity.
We have decided to move forward with a national-level event centered on Ruby. This event will be held in a major city in the US at a conference-style venue. In regards to the timing, the dates have been set and the event will be held during the summer.
Moving forward, we are committed to full transparency regarding events. Building trust with the community means having regular, transparent releases of information on a reliable cadence.
We acknowledge that this transparent style of communication has gaps in completeness, and we are committed to solving these problems out in the open with the Ruby community.
If there are any questions, we encourage sharing them using [this link].
Ruby Central's role is to protect the infrastructure that powers the Ruby ecosystem. We aim to rebuild trust with the community by acting transparently, strengthening governance, and inviting collaboration.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:amoxtyvmcftfreyte7vrz73g/bafkreic6kf6aoqc3bly33j4vyoy2mebeldi72p3yyn543f4ityq4jufkom@jpeg)
