You know what doesn't seem to work? documenting new features by providing analogies to the old tech they're replacing.

It seems like a good idea at first, but it only has a lifespan of one user-generation. After the new tech is in place and new people join the org, nobody remembers the old stuff and the analogies and similes are meaningless.

Why is 14.03 pi day anyway. What kind of sick joke is that

Is Steam down or is it just me?

Twitter got the axe this week. The LinuxRocks Mastodon instance is my only social media now. Also, good morning 🙂.

Are mariadb databases always a minimum of 2XX MB? I'm running two (one for miniflux, one for nextcloud). Miniflux just has a few feeds and I've never touched Nextcloud past initial setup. Both databases are over 200MB.

Safari has started bringing up this alert and I *really like it*.

Found a bug in my software. Discovered it's a problem in one of my dependencies. Reported it.

They decided it was a bug in one of their dependencies. They reported it.

Less than a week after the initial report: Bug fixed, then bug fixed, then bug fixed.

I've never seen that before.

The #plasmamobile team, lead by @bshah, have just concluded their first sprint, and the progress they made there is amazing!

It's so good to see the community growing! What used to be more or less a 1.5 men project now has a proper team of volunteers as well as paid contributors, coming from KDE and other mobile FOSS communities, working on everything from hardware support to essential applications.

With that pace, an "end-user-ready" state feels within reach!

2018 was the first year we received requests for user data or to have content taken down, so we're going to start releasing an annual #transparency report with this kind of information.

Read about the requests we received in 2018 and how we responded in our latest @intheopen blog post: https://write.as/intheopen/2018-transparency-report

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
