Just making sure everyone knows that iOS will translate laundry symbols for you. Also, let’s all be super cool and pretend the label I chose for this demo doesn’t just say what the symbols mean right above them. 😅

Oh, one last thing

"Did You Know: servo is still maintained under new leadership that exists outside mozilla"

Also Did You Know: You have the option of giving the Servo project five dollars a month ( using GitHub or OpenCollective: servo.org/ )

You will surely not regret giving the Servo project five dollars a month

Last call for Fediverse software demos for next week's #FediForum

Have cool Fediverse software you'd like to show off to Fediforum attendees? Reach out!

We have a rather interesting demo lineup already, but because this FediForum goes over 3 days, not just 2, we have a bit more room.

More info and recordings of past demos: fediforum.org



Sag’ mir, wo die Stromer sind… tichyseinblick.de/wirtschaft/m… Keine staatliche Maßnahme, und sei sie noch so gut gemeint, kann vor Trittbrettfahrern sicher sein. Also vor Bürgern, die die Wohltat der jeweiligen staatlichen Vergünstigung gern mitnehmen, aber nicht zielgerecht zum Wohle von Konjunktur und Allgemeinwohl, sondern schnöde zur eigenen Bereicherung einsetzen. Möglich war das bei der sogenannten Innovationsprämie, sprich Kaufprämie beim Erwerb


Richard MacManus @ricmac is coming to #FediForum next week and wants to talk about:

Fediverse development

Join us to discuss this and many other subjects related to the open social web and the Fediverse? fediforum.org





My summer goal was to go to the beach every week 🏖️ and even though I missed a week or two, I got dozens of hours there: yoga, long walks, even a remote work session. The water and air are so healing to me, I don't know how I ever lived without #LakeErie. I hope I can manage some beach moments this fall and winter.


Once again, Gen X has been skipped over in a leadership transition. Just as we were when John Key/ Bill English, both Boomers, were replaced as PM by a Millenial, Jacinda Ardern. I wonder how common this will turn out to have been?

For clarity, I refer to the selection of Kuiini Ngaa Wai Hono i te Poo, a Millenial, to succeed Kiingi Tuheitia who was a Boomer;

No disrespect intended to the new Kuiini nor to Ardern. Just noting the trend.

You don't want Genx running things. We'll just throw out the internet and make everyone play games in an arcade.
in reply to Strypey

Nothing wrong with the new generation.

The older generation hung on to power for too long.

The plan worked, with the National Rally securing the third most seats, despite receiving the most overall votes. #news #press
