Nice. Since April European datasets can be found via https://data.europa.eu/en But what's up with the search function?

I don't mind sharing my morning nature walk with excercising people, especially right now... the big speaker is pushing it though. The clicktrack leaves me wordless. I'd like to throw birdsong and sheep at them. They're not savvy about the rules - but neither do they care. #patiencerequired

Can I just be honest that since society went digital mansplaining just exploded into my face? I'm no stranger to getting doubted, negged, or even verbally attacked by everyone up until management but the addition of this DDoS of well-meant advice makes me want to send grandpa to 4chan to dismantle.

Currently wondering why next to the (usual and anticipated) #FOSDEM #LibreOffice devroom, there is one for Apache OpenOffice. Curious about that, will they make a comeback after all? Also, curious if LibreOffice talks with discuss recent business model discussions within LibreOffice community, as you can read here in the inesteemable LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/833233/

Aiko Klostermann's talk at #rC3 was really good. Not just what is wrong with AI (with new examples!) but also the beginning of solutions.
