I had sworn off @adobe.com after the last time they ripped them off but I needed to do something with a pdf and they were the only option. Acrobat is now €20 per month. Luckily I only needed it for one job so I did a free trial. Which still cost me €1.

As we're having our usual monthly @irishwater.bsky.social outage, I'd love to only have the average 27 hours per year of water outage. I'd say this year we'll be looking at around ten times that. We've had about 5 days so far this year. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
Lost water supply in Republic ‘three times’ longer in duration than UK’s worst areas
Regulator ‘very concerned’ about number of people on boiled-water notices for more than 30 days

This NYT interview with Bill Gates is just phonomenal. He tells it as it is - the Trump administration (and its "Christian" backers) is killing millions of kids. The contrast with Elon Musk could not be starker.

Given his Pulp Fiction role, I’m not surprised Christopher Walken doesn’t wear a watch. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...
No phone, no watch, no problem: should we all be more like Severance’s Christopher Walken?
The 81-year-old actor has revealed that he has no streaming services, has never sent an email, and doesn’t even know what time it is. Perhaps he has found true freedom

My 7x7x7 Rubik’s Cube jammed so I started disassembling it to try to fix it. It did not go well.
