Canonical going hard on Snap, even in mainstream supermarkets. It truly is the year of the Linux desktop.

Sometimes I'm Aussie. Sometimes I'm Indian.
But I'm _always_ a chameleon. 😎

At a previous job years ago, if you broke the build you had to bring cake the next day.

@npub1alm…yeul I confess, certain public figures come to mind. :P
But also a few people closer to home. They gravitate towards me. Maybe I look credulous. 😳

An Australian Parliament staffer was caught with classified docs for which he lacked the required security clearance.
He also exaggerated his seniority to others, suggested he knew people at ASIO (our security org) and claimed he was soon to be employed there (he was not).
Immature, dishonest, insecure men with grandiose spy fantasies are so overtly obnoxious, surely we could screen them better?

@npub1sua…szrk That really sucks. I'm not much of a gamer, but I know how upset my son would be.

@npub1alm…yeul Thank you, I really do appreciate it :)

The process of extricating myself from Google's clutches has been... turbulent. Being technically 'capable' hasn't prevented me from wasting countless hours trying to solve problems caused by a combination of Google's villainy and my own imperfect grasp of its machinery.
I feel as though I've spent the last week being sabotaged by an enemy I can't quite get a lock on. I'm tired of it, but I'm even more tired of being Google's b***h. And so I'll press on.

@npub1alm…yeul Umm actually I'm a cool hacker because I know how to run Python scripts. Also I'm living undercover as a mum who shows up to school pickup in pyjama bottoms.

Social contagion is your spouse installing #GrapheneOS because they saw you do it and it's easy and cool.

@npub14zv…gvhs And possibly lawyers too. Imagine having to hand over SQLite files in discovery. 😯

@npub14zv…gvhs I'd be willing to put money and effort towards a public education campaign to get this information in front of the faces that need to see it: ordinary consumers.

I've just installed #GrapheneOS on a second-hand Pixel. The web installer was so easy to use, it was trivial...
... except when flashing the image failed multiple times and I was stuck in a bootloop. 😨
A stressy web search revealed a possible issue with USB device access on #Linux. So I did the "Linux user's walk of shame" - to my husband's Windows laptop.
And then it worked. Haha!

@npub1h56…ch5t Ahh, a dose of reality. :)
I'm going to ask my son if he knows what Patreon is.

A few years ago, my kid wanted to be a scientist. And then he wanted to be a coder like Mummy. So proud.
Anyhoo now he wants to be a YouTuber so he "can play games and make money with ads".
Ooookay.

Helloooo. I coming to you LIVE from #ZorinOS!

@npub1sua…szrk I'm older than my husband by a few weeks. He says I "robbed the grave", an unfair and scandalous characterisation.

Man, data science is so weird and broken.

@npub1alm…yeul Thank you Chris :)
It hasn't sunk in at all. I watched a video on Bayesian statistics this morning. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

How soon can I uninstall Word? :D

I need a bunch of historical weather data. After some dead ends, I've found Open-Meteo:
- years of data
- hourly observations
- all the metrics, even weird ones
- downloadable as CSV
- API available
- free for non-commercial use
I'm in total shock. This is the greatest service of all time, and it's been right here all along --> @npub1r70…qela

Taking my kid to a party. I'm dressed like a respectable suburban mum whose only clean t-shirt has the #Neovim logo on it.
Imagine if the party was all #Emacs mums and a melee broke out. :P
