How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/

I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com

i just added a page to my personal website that catalogs all the books, music, and games that are deeply important to me in some way. i'm calling it The Loved List, shamelessly stealing the term from Anthony Fantano's website. https://ankursethi.in/the-loved-list/ maybe one day i'll turn this into a nice gallery of sorts, with cover art and links and metadata and all sorts of bells and whistles. for now, a plain list is all i have the time to do. #indieweb #webdev #blog

Tell the person you love that you love them. This reminds them that the world can be a beautiful place. Tell them by popping out from the corner you weren't in just a moment ago, giving them a mild heart attack and reminding them that the world is surprising and dangerous. Also, sorry @IamMrsGeek
