One night a while ago #Medium annoyed me enough that I made a browser extension to fix all the "engagement" / nag UX.
Today I launched a little site for it: https://makemediumreadable.com

Brownies
Like a dirt clod,
but moist.
A melted clod,
a melted clod of dirt
but sweet.
A sweet, melted clod of dirt
but not dirt.
Goodness;
rainbows;
joy;
children.
The laughter of children.
A rag soaked in the laughter of children,
and squeezed out into a bowl
with an egg cracked on top,
and the wheat of the land,
and sugar,
pure sugar.
Sweet, sweet pure sugar.
And fire.
And time.
And you consume it with your mouth.
I. Love. Brownies.
Had a huddled conversation in the European Parliament with a colleague after the JURI vote trying to work out what #article13 would mean for federated/decentralized services like #mastodon and #ipfs . We’ll need to see the final text which may not be available until next week.
So I'm trying to learn #go.
Watch me learn and fail!

I'm crashing when interacting with the text tool on inkscape all the time now on Fedora 28. Happens with distro-packaged version, an alt-downloaded rpm, and a flatpak.

Went to my first tech meetup today. Literally the 1st time in my life I've been around other people interested in databases and programming languages in-the-flesh. Very refreshing.
One wonders what will happen if I ever meet other open source desktop users (and use open tools, and do open art).
Mind explosion. Nice to not be the only one in a physical space for once.

So, updating ~/.bashrc and removing the anaconda-added config for gsettings fixed the issue. Anyone know why that is a standard part of the setup when it breaks linux (or at least Fedora)?
