@urusan My parents have always had hoarding tendencies, so this resonates with me. They constantly buy things but never discard them for the chance they may have value, and don't put in the effort to sell/donate them. Ex: There are 6 vacuum cleaners in their pantry and my mom just bought herself a new Dyson as a Christmas gift "from her husband" because...? They won't listen to me or seek help, so I've got to see them squander their savings to accrue a pile of expensive waste. 😔
@brandont Can totally relate to stale repo accumulation. I ought to go through all of them, asking "is this fork already merged? Why do I have this? Do I (or will anyone else) care about it?"

Don't compare your daily life to someone else's highlight reel. Their struggles lie behind the scenes.

@innonate Very helpful! Thank you for your hard work! My one feature request would be to include sorting functions e.g. sorting by follower count could assist in discovering companies/organizations, etc.

“You can find us anywhere you get your podcasts.”
I *adore* this phrase, because it has been like two whole-ass decades and not one single venture capital darling has managed to unseat plain RSS as the distribution method for podcasts. Not one. (And they have really tried!)
Podcasts are just out there, like air. You don’t go to one place to get them; you get them from everywhere and anywhere. You can choose how you want to engage with them and manage them and it is legitimately heartwarming that nothing has ever gotten in the way of that being a fundamental fact.
This is the best of what the web is. It will never have a stock ticker or even a marketing scheme. Most people don’t even know it is there. But it endures (past the many, many attempts by squillionaire corporates to kill it) because of its absolute unshakable utility.
My suggestion: any time you hear “anywhere you get your podcasts”, send a little thanks to RSS for keeping the real web alive.
@Ertain Alton Brown has great stage presence. 😊

If you desire the freedom to understand what's going on inside your device (or wish to respect the freedom of others to do so), please consider voting with your wallets for open hardware. I'd personally recommend @olimex or Beagleboard, as they are OSHWA-certified.

i.MX8MPlus for MNT Reform is booting a mainline kernel (plus some DSI patches)! Now it's that typical dance again to get the display to actually show something. But tomorrow.

There are two types of people in this world:
“Crap, sorry, my computer just died.”
And
“Hold on, I need to find an outlet because my battery is at 89%.”
