Anybody know any cool cases that fit the Kobo H2O Aura 2 #ereader? Wading through all the mislabeled junk on Amazon is a lot of work to buy from a place I don't want to buy from.

Finished "Prophet Song" by Paul Lynch. What an amazing horrible #book I will never read again. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job at making you feel like you're RIGHT THERE -- being a parent in an evolving secret police state, then escalating civil war zone, then dealing with faceless corrupt bureaucracy and human traffickers. The prose is "moving" almost in the Charles Olson Projective Verse sort of way.

Already sick of big company customer service blaming "the AI" for their screwups that have nothing to do with AI (just involved...a computer).

I really hate when I have to type "killall orca".

Currently ordering some notebooks that are hardback but the name of their size is paperback. Not happy about it.

Perhaps the problem of journalists incorrectly calling Meta's AI "open source" is about to solve itself: https://www.engadget.com/ai/is-mark-zuckerberg-flip-flopping-on-open-source-ai-231310567.html?src=rss (but not before making the mistake a few more times)

Congrats to @ramereth !! So well deserved. #FOSSY25 https://sfconservancy.org/news/2025/aug/01/distinguished-award-in-lance-albertson/

Great shout out from Gunner (Aspiration) in the #FOSSY25 keynote about importance of @fdroidorg for mobile app freedom!

and the keyboard/battery case (working state very uncertain)

If anyone coming to #FOSSY25 wants a free PinePhone Pro that won't boot (probably just needs reflashing but *might* have deeper issues) in a chipped but functional case, let me know. I realize, a very hard offer to refuse.

Is it controversial to suggest that when emailing your resume to a job opening, you should put your name in the filename? Is the lack of doing this because people aren't in the habit of applying by email anymore? It is something that makes me think, this person is not thinking very many steps ahead (someone else on the receiving side has to rename all the files named just Resume.pdf) and that's a bad sign.
