I am on an impromptu trip to an unfamiliar area due to a family emergency, and my rental car had no navigation built in. This meant I truly needed to depend on live turn-by-turn GPS navigation in Pure Maps on my Librem 5 for the first time.
It actually worked great! I packed a car vent magnetic mount and I was able to route to various destinations, reroute automatically, and otherwise use it like you'd expect.

@kyle I feel like that's a good reminder for experts (in FOSS, etc) too: Approving and praising good work by beginners helps them significantly. Don't just focus on the bad stuff!

Many folks are updating their resumes at the moment and I wanted to share a tip.
My own resume had served me well over the years, but I went to update it and realized that not only was the content outdated, the CV-style format was outdated, dull, and too long.
I found a great two-column LaTeX template based on a Marissa Mayer resume and wanted to share it here. It's attractive, modern, easy to read, and lets you fit a lot of detail.
This panel by @davidrevoy captures my ultimate #tabletop #RPG fantasy. I've had plenty of sessions online, but I would kill for a comfy weekend playing #PenAndPaper with a bunch of friends.
I don't care that I'm almost 31. I want this!
