Switching back from #obsidian and #logseq to #emacs and #orgmode (+#orgroam) feels like a step from someone else's home into a thriving forest: such a rich eco-system! Found #systemcrafters an invaluable resource to get quickly from vanilla emacs to something which exceeds or is on par with the alternatives in all aspects that matter: configurability, extendability, control, speed, resources, android support via #orgzly, themes, #foss, local first, future proof,....

In case you haven't heard, Red Hat is laying off people today, and I'm one of them. My 'career' as a Hatter lasted just over 15 months, much less time than I had planned or expected.

Many of you know me well, and know that I have extensive background in open source software, project management, open source business, and lots of related activities. If you're aware of any opportunities which may be of interest, feel free to send them my way via any channel you like.

Boosts much appreciated, of course, and thanks in advance!

I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.

I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!

"During this period, the United States urges the SAF and RSF to immediately and fully uphold the ceasefire." #Sudan

I know people want to take joy in this moment, but Carlson is still obscenely wealthy and Fox News still exists and its viewers are still willing members of a fascist death cult.
Carlson is likely miserable at his new lack of status, but that's probably the only good news here.

In the last few days I've mysteriously gotten an uptick in emails and messages about Bea Wolf. I have no idea why, and that is excellent.
