“You can no more keep a Martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there.” --Bernard DeVoto, "The Hour: A Cocktail Manifesto" #cocktails #quotes

Disappointing, and a reminder that I don't actually know what a monopoly is (clearly not a "know it when I see it" situation): https://www.engadget.com/apple-wins-appeals-court-ruling-against-epic-games-191331514.html -- but hopefully irrelevant anyway, with other forces (EU) pushing Apple to allow users to install software from outside the App Store. iF-Droid? #apple #iphone #fdroid

What an encouraging story -- university students in Lithuania push back against proprietary 2FA requirement and win: https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230418-01.en.html

Paid $10 today to send a 4 page FAX.

@calculastrology I am not, but I considered pretending that I am because that is cool.

@jay @bergmayer @mattl (originator of libre.fm) has ideas about doing more with it but for some reason his replies aren't showing up here -- maybe message him directly if interested

@jamesvasile Am I desperate enough to do that? I might be..

@esther@strangeobject.space Very much agree, and I thought food might be a useful metaphor / analogy: https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2016/spring/you-are-what-you-run

@mjg59 Just waiting for the announcement of the addition of "Cine"

A bit crushed to learn that the new #Murakami book release date I've been looking forward to on my calendar (today) is the release date *in Japan*. Probably another year to wait for a translation I can read.

@bergmayer libre.fm is also cool.

NPR leaves Twitter (for now): https://www.engadget.com/npr-is-ditching-twitter-over-government-funded-media-label-on-its-main-account-155556726.html (good on ya)

5 out of the 10 books on the NYT BR combined fiction bestseller list (yesterday) are by the same person. It's been that way for a long time. I don't know what to do about that, but I think people might like some changes made to the way the list is built / presented.

@chrisjrn @sri

I do too (have participated in 2 in-person trainings)

@xor They were one of the first people to send me mail when I registered my LLC.

If you sent me an email and are wondering why I didn't answer yet, I probably didn't get it. Sporadic email issues due to bad MX records due to bad instructions from Gandi plus terrible sysadmin (me).

@dansup Any plans to also put it in F-Droid?

I just tried to click an old answers.yahoo.com link and got kinda sad.

@adfeno While I didn't necessarily want to have to learn a bunch of new stuff, I have definitely found systemd to be very useful in general.
