@lapcatsoftware I had this issue 15 years ago. We planned a monthly event (free tickets) with limited capacity. We ended up having tickets for 110% of the capacity that would sell out, and we still had space on the night.
@samwilson I added the footpaths in the Arts Building next to the library. There is more to add, including the other levels. What were you looking at to improve?

There's to be an #OpenStreetMap mapping party tomorrow in Carlisle. Come and map the new Long Park (and other bits of the new railway line) with us! #OSGeoOceania are sponsoring coffees.

Call for help, abuse, emergency
@Snoro the website is full of fake and misleading anti-climate articles. With the regular writing I think it's mostly AI. Please put it on your black list and try to get it blacklisted from news aggregators.

lol I actually used the phrase “Let’s delight our customers not Deloitte them” earlier today

I just had the most frustrating time trying to use Zoom. I used to like it but it is now broken.
As a bellwether, if a website or app refuses to work on Firefox or has broken features? Just stop using it!
It is a sign the company cuts corners and has a small test suit. Save your sanity!!

Looking for work.
I am a very good cold caller \ outbound telemarketer.
Perth, Western Australia.
Can work part time Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Anyone in Perth hiring?
@Snoro Australia lowered it's 2035 target from 65% to 62% because of data centre growth. The author is confusing specially designed machine learning models with LLMs and labelling it all AI.
@ketan yeah I just see it as a 62% target with an "aspirational" goal of 70%. My uni saying was "P's give degrees" and this is what I think about their range.

I’m saying this as someone who was once on TWO of Ubuntu’s governance councils, deciding who had contributed enough to the community to have an [at]ubuntu[dot]com email address and who was trusted to upload packages to the archive and provide oversight for those not so-trusted.
If the #Ubuntu Community Council lets this stand then absolutely fuck the project I devoted 5 years of my life to.

@WeirdWriter do you have the log in details to the account and who are they?
@samwilson I've had the same issue, but it's been quite a while since I used Google Docs. I think Google Docs overrides the default copy paste and it needs elevated browser permissions to perform the action. Have a look around for which permission it needs.
@curtmack I hate how a number of windows products (but not all) use Ctrl + Y
@sam tell the government 4 way stop signs are a terrible idea and get them to be replaced with 1 direction through and the other a give way or stop. Clear rules for who has the right of way.

Stay calm and install solar panels.
Stay calm and install heat pumps.
Stay calm and build a Homelab to keep your data at home.
Stay calm and help your neighbours.
Stay calm and read the news but understand your anger on things you cannot change is wasted energy.
Stay calm and care about your direct environment where you can change things.
You are not alone. Many people around you are doing this already.
@MartinEscardo my organisation has a standard format. So as soon as I said I'm working for X on LinkedIn, I started to get spam emails!
