미 정부가 인플레이션 제어를 포기한것 같고 오히려 놔둬서 정부 빚을 녹이려고 한다는것이 꽤 사실 같구만... 원자재 관련 ETF 엄청 오르네 ㅎㅎ 금은동 투자가 최고입니다 (먼산) 근데 주가는 왜 오르는지 모르겠음;;

Germany retail hell: Trying to avoid Amazon & Zalando. Even eBay orders end up shipping from Amazon warehouses.
Looking for swim gear - where do you actually shop?
no they didn’t.
1) Microsoft renamed the "Microsoft 365 app" (a hub app that was called the Office app in the past) to "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" a year ago 🪨
2) Office became Microsoft 365 in 2022, and it remains Microsoft 365
3) thanks for coming to my TED talk

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Oh! interesting.. That's also one way to put a workstation together.
What's your "weird new keyboard and monitor setup"? I was also considering the Reform, but more the Reform Next.
The Pocket Reform has the advantage to be that quirky small computer thingy which would be carried around in movies like Hackers or any cyberpunk-esque story.
Nothing says: "I'm an elite hacker let me through here! I need to fix the Gibson!" than weird tech dangling everywhere over oneself.
@phantasusPhantasus 🏳️🌈 @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Re: "The Pocket Reform has the advantage to be that quirky small computer thingy which would be carried around in movies like Hackers or any cyberpunk-esque story" - this is basically how I use mine 😆
I should probably put together a blog post on my setup at some point
Of course within-repo dependencies in pyproject.toml are backend-specific. I don't even want a monorepo, it's just a transitory state between "everything is one large wheel" to "there are now a reasonable number of wheels."
It's just one of those days...

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) 
7:15 on the dot every morning our cat would throw herself at our bedroom door howling for food. So I put the dry food on a timer for 7:15. Now the throws herself at the door at 7:16 howling for her wet food.
@ShiitakeToast @catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) reminded of the post that was going around where someone's cat alerted them to an outage because their internet-connected feeder didn't go off 😁
Is the best MS Office alternative still Libre Office? If I'm not wanting to use Google docs?

We are looking for an experienced Android UI developer for https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android. Native Java, close to the system, with minimal deps and fluff.
Networking/encryption/persistence is not part of the job as it happens in https://github.com/chatmail/core
Remote collab is fine and the default. We meet in person every few months in the black forest or other occasions/places. We can do 20-30 hours per week contracts with 4-5K EUR pay per month.
EDIT: position is filled. thanks all!
Reminder to periodically go compare your bastille.conf with the upstream sample for new entries and updates.
I'm willing to bet more than one of you are missing updates in the bastille.conf.
> cd /usr/local/etc/bastille
> diff -u bastille.conf bastille.conf.sample
Merge new entries into your config to make use of the latest fixes and features (including the new `monitor` command).

Encrypted content / headers / transport / etc. are great harm reduction, but by no means is it metadata avoidance (in the strict academic sense of what those words mean when applied to communications systems).
Third party actors (e.g. relay servers / network actors) can build correlative models using the *metadata* inherent in the communication protocol (source, destination, timing, frequency).
We have decades of research demonstrating the power of such models - let's not minimize them.
People have been telling me for years that Mastodon is dead. Oh no! Anyway...
