This morning, annoyed that the word "lorn" means "forlorn". Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg on refried beans: "I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time."

This is horrifying https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/04/30/work-from-home-surveillance/ and makes me embarrassed for the profession of management. Always-on webcam rules??
I only keep things that spark joy, not SPARC things. #flossinfluencer

Does anyone know of a decent round-up of current (2019/2020) TV OSes? I'm interested in factors like offline-breakage, known spyware-phone-homing, availability of SDKs, sideloading, etc.
Can't find anything even close to contemporary. Boosts 'preciated; will post any answers I find....

My fault for having expectations from the URL https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/2020/04/virtual-event-suggestions-for-open-source-communities/ . It's not a guide to free software (or open source) virtual event solutions or a declaration of intent to help such solutions succeed; rather the opposite.
