Attached: 1 image Block which renamed itself from Square to rebrand itself as a blockchain platform is winding down its blockchain platform efforts. It’s now clear that there is little value in blockchains and crypto as a technology platform. Crypto has found a niche as a form of speculative assets for financial risk takers and a tool for moving money around while avoiding regulation (e.g. ransomware payments, foreign remittances, etc). https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/11/08/jack-dorsey-dramatically-shutters-blocks-tbd-crypto-unit.html

I'm not going to lie - I've always wanted darker, more troubling Lego sets that explore the less pleasant sides of humanity. Red Light districts, military stuff, disaster sets, and so on.

Banning or not banning Working from Home is so indicative of the black and white days we are living in. Working from Home is great for some, awful for some and Working from Office is great for some, awful for some. As with everything: Don’t outright ban or require it. Make **mindful decisions** that’s perceptive to the needs of your employees and which makes them perform optimally both individually and collectively 🙏

I have been incredibly organised and booked my #FOSDEM travel and hotel. My first time going (!) so grateful for any tips, advice, warnings, memes, in-jokes, and suggestions from regular attendees.

@Edent@mastodon.social If there is a session you really want to see, possibly go to the session before it so you can get a seat. Be careful with backpacks in the corridors, turn with care. On the Friday night, Delirium is very much the place to be. For those that drink alcohol, Delirium Tremens is a really nice 8% ale. (Happy to be corrected) I think it is the number 75 bus that gets you from the city centre to the university.
