That admission tracked my anecdotal experience at Kroger over the past few years.
My local Kroger has an Aldi right next door, and I do 90% of my shopping at Aldi. It probably saves me 20-30%, so long as I bring the quarter for the cart and bag my own groceries.

My breasts, now, in 2024, making it very clear I need new bras: And we took that personally.
I still can’t get over that “HTML-first” is a thing now after shouting this into the abyss for the last 15 years.
My theory is that Big Tech came up with frameworks like React and “best practices” and whatnot and worked hard to open source and devrel’d them—to make it really hard for anyone to create competiting products by drowning developers in bullshit.
@popey Fair! 😅
Honestly, I know core people are very much aware of Guix and collaborate on things, but I don't know how the average Nixer fairs, I'm out of touch for years.
My main point is that GNU has had leadership issues and therefore Guix has actively disentangled itself from that years ago and got things right. I haven't looked at how Aux governance looks.

I had a post the other day over on a LinkedIn group that has drawn quite a bit of interest; at the moment I write this, it's approaching 24,000 views. That's pretty significant.
My post was to the 'Skift Meetings Event Professionals Community" - essentially, it's a community where the folks who organize the world of corporate, association, trade shows, conferences, and conventions hang out, seeking tips, sharing ideas, and offering up answers to questions posed by others. It's a pretty active group, drawing interest from around the world from meeting planners, trade show experts, speakers bureaus, speakers, staging and AV companies, and more.
My post - reproduced in its entirety below - had to do with something that has been very much on my mind as of late - and that is that this industry is changing in a significant way. There is a pretty significant shift in spending, a change in the individuals responsible for organizing an event, as well as the speed and purpose for which these events are being pulled together. Opportunity is to be found by aligning to and adapting to this trend, instead of simply staying focused on the old business model that has been in place for many years.
My post was trying to get across the scope and urgency of this change, knowing that many event professionals might still be stuck in the old way of doing things, and might not be seeing the real opportunities in this fast-emerging and growing market.
But I know I am - it's become very much the core of my business, with this photo in front of my stage for my event last week in Dublin. Old business models change. New ones emerge. You must always keep chasing the new one - because opportunity is at the end of the rainbow of initiative.
