Open Letter to Apache OpenOffice: Today marks 20 years since the source code to OpenOffice was released. And today we say, LibreOffice is clearly the future of the suite (see the timeline). Let's all get behind it, for the benefit of all users: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/
Fitness, running

I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for a while now:
#OpenCuts, the open crowdsourced user testing suite
https://www.open-cuts.org
https://gitlab.com/open-cuts
OPEN-CUTS is a web-tool to help #OpenSource communities with user testing! The goal is to allow even inexperienced users to easily report test results for new software releases. OPEN-CUTS then aggregates and compares the metadata across versions to identify regressions.

It's kind of funny in retrospect that the programming language whose mantra was "There Should Be Only One Way To Do It" featured two separately maintained, incompatible, versions of itself for 11 years.
Some of the concerns addressed here are the same met by the EU #GDPR. It's time for some better privacy protection in the US. If this is actually a problem it is broader than these two Chinese companies.

I liked The Spy Who Loved Me too, Chris Nolan.
It's a coffee shop in an elevator, and the elevator still works apparently! The coffee is good too.
Passing through Waco on a road trip, Magnolia's coffee shop is packed like an amusement park. Gotta try this place - Brü.
I read Stars and Stripes in our shipping container in Iraq, and checked it regularly states-side too... It's one of the best sources for explaining policy and standards changes, and for breaking down issues important to the military.
Smush some fruit and veg in there for flavor.
Favorite food: meat on carb

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦♂️
PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE
And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)
Boost if I'm right.

Holy crap, google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech. At least three apps I know of anyway and I'd imagine the others will follow soon under the exact same reasoning.} Seems to be the case with Husky, Fedilab, and "subway" tooter.
this is a scary precedent if google play is going to ban any apps that can in any way be used to access content with hate speech. So what about a forum client, do they take that down just because there is a forum somewhere on the internet posting hate speech?
This is particularly worrisome because for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.
Picture attached of one of the notices received by fedilab.

Okay, I've made a video game and it's called Gunther O'Brian's Pitching Simulator and it's a game where you try to help Gunther, who is a penguin who doesn't know anything about blaseball, throw the ball better.
