Don't tell my employer, but man does this make me feel better.

My #pinephone just shipped! Super excited to experiment with it.

Really want linux phones to succeed. I'm just so sick of the Android/iOS dichotomy.

Both of my thinkpad laptops stopped booting in the last 24 hours. Weird timing. Some kind of Y2K bug for thinkpads, maybe?

Sticking a pin into the reset hole on the bottom of each laptop fixed it.

Super excited to start learning to use an #arduino this week

Ordered my first #pinephone last night. Excited to start playing around with it.

#robinhood clamped down on trading to protect innocent #wallstreet from those devious Redditors.

It’s frustrating having users complain about UTF-8 CSVs garbling in Excel. Suffering for Microsoft’s UX sins.

The puppy says enough computer.

My work is getting hardcore throttled by the new #docker rate limiting.

So many builds failing.

Anyone have any Linux software recommendations to organize a very large, messy music library?
