I am a #foss / #free #software radical.
This is because I understand some things that many people do not, or do not want to. This isn’t because those people are stupid or purpousely ignorant; rather, my circumstances forced me to part with some of the comforts of predatory software, and it opened my eyes to the world that universal software freedom could create.
Feeling demoralized with #WordPress. Trac tickets being in limbo for seemingly longer & longer periods of time. Why bother investing time (as self-employed developer) to contribute back to WordPress if contributions are neglected for months or even longer? What's your experience?
Prevented some e-waste: fixed an obsolete disc-man someone wanted to throw away. It had a battery compartment with corroded batteries. Polished with some vinegar, removed the corrosion et voila! Got myself a cdplayer for my little work cave.

I wonder when Ansible considers their syntax done. Every release thus far I've been changing my playbooks, which frankly sucks. There goes automation #devops #automation
Just noticed I released this plugin almost 7 years ago...

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)
It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes you have to in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So, today, I admit that I was wrong about Google, Facebook, & surveillance capitalism in general being toxic for our human rights and democracy … it simply cannot be true given how they are endorsed by some of the most well-respected organisations in the world.
Hi @fsf as a member of the Free Software Foundation I'd like to hear your reply on @aral post found here: https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/
Would you please be so kind to respond to this no only here but also on your own website as this merits a well-written article in my opinion. Thank you!
I *think* I fixed our Intel NUC's problem. Opened the case and cleaned the fan and noticed the thermal paste was almost all gone on the chip. Re-applied new paste and so far (really too soon to tell..) it seems to work. No more hoover sounds and thus far no crashed machine.
Renewed my @fsf membership. Please consider supporting them, because a free society needs free software.
Kan iemand mij vertellen welke duurzaamheids/energietransitie projecten bij de @Rijksoverheid worden gefinancierd vanuit de Energiebelasting op gas/elektra? #duurzaam #klimaatverandering
Wrote a small shell script displaying average, largest, smallest file & subdirectory including a summary of all filetypes and their occurrence. Quite happy with the outcome.
"Oligarchy has been a more fundamental cause of the collapse of civilisations than social complexity or energy demand. Control by oligarchs, he argues, thwarts rational decision-making, because the short-term interests of the elite are radically different to the long-term interests of society. "

Are there #WordPress Core committers working on Multisite issues? Or is everyone all hands on #Gutenberg? Looking for feedback & getting this ticket merged: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33209 to make WordPress Multisite safer out-of-the-box. Currently it will send out plain-text passwords!
