I can’t believe I’m having to write this code in a fucking web server. What a mockery of the web, human rights, and the GDPR.

Fuck you, Google!

Periodic PSA for IT folk: Don't berate the users you support for not knowing something. Do not make them feel lesser for making mistakes.

Did you know/realize that their experience with you supporting them can also colour their personal experience with computers?

Take the time to explain what's gone wrong and *if* the problem turns out to be user, brush it off as an "easy mistake" for anyone to make and continue to explain how to do the thing the right way.

Somebody posted the logo design doc they made for 2008’s Pepsi cola redesign and … I had no idea. It’s conspiracy-theory levels of wildly unbalanced thought. Incredible stuff: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell-021109.pdf

I love it when someone totally commits to their April Fool's joke. Straight faced throughout and you can buy the fake product from the fake sponsor.

"Serenity os has always been about combining the 1990's windows estethics with a modern unix commandline experience, now we see that we have gone about it in the complete wrong order, we will from now change to a 1990s linux aesthetic with a windows commandline experience"

Today we released LibreOffice 7.1.2 – the second bugfix update to the 7.1 branch. But what are the big new features in the LibreOffice 7.1 family? Check out this video for an overview... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLutwM8XKvo

How's your new year's resolution going?

If it's not going well, is this still something you'd like to work on. Maybe turn it to a yearly theme?

Year of health sounds a lot more palatable than Get Into Shape(tm).

Year of distillation sounds better than Get Into Minimalism(tm).

Year to bloom sounds a lot better than Try New Things(tm).

Whatever it is, I wish you luck! <3

OK, #blind #Linux enthusiasts: If I have a VMware Workstation running on Windows 10 at my disposal and want to use it to install a Linux distro just to play with it a bit and get a feel for the current state of accessibility, which distribution do you recommend? Which desktop? GNOME, KDE, MATE? Something else? Go! :-)
