The @latenightlinux.bsky.social team at @ubuntu-ls.bsky.social Summit 25.10. It was a privilege to have been invited. No doubt we’ll have a round up in the next few weeks, suffice to say lots of genuinely exciting things happening with Ubuntu. #ubuntusummit2510

Overcast. Good enough that I paid for it.

@occultaria.bsky.social ❤️👽🛸

I’m going to give it a go tomorrow!
Amazing!

“We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth.”

Jim Lovell, who guided Apollo 13 safely back to Earth, has died aged 97. His bravery was second-to-none but I loved him for his sense of wonder, and his willingness to let that show. RIP

I got a Ring doorbell. The internet would have you believe it’s great. Hardware seems ok. The management app and web app are fucking atrocious. Anyone who says different is a liar.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

Spending the evening playing cards with the family. We’re currently playing a cross between Hoover and Eight Men Down.

IKEA have stopped selling non-rechargeable batteries for ecological reasons. This means no more Platboj. These CR2032 coin cells were, I think, about 10 pence each. All the ones on Amazon are around FIVE times the price! What are people using?

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123 First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

This is a very accurate very long very good description of how I feel about what’s happened to the web/apps which endeavour to replace the web.
