I wouldn't say I'm a #guix user.

I'm someone who wants to use guix but keeps failing when he wants to add new software or new versions of software

We've really underestimated the risks of billionaire owners of essential institutions and infrastructure. Where was this on the map?

@civodul lists.gnu.org down?

@CloudyMrs chapeau!

@evoterra @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews that is good, but no one should live in poverty. Poverty is used to discipline workers and keep them from their power

Went to Fife to get their strawberries. Put them in the pannier. Mashed them into jam. Learned that the back of the multitinker bounces more than I thought. A lovely ride out though. #BikeTooter

When people on the left say "if (right wingers) win I'm going to leave the country" they fear for their lives. When people on the right say "if (lefties) win I'm going to leave the country" they fear for their property. #UKpol #FrPol #USpol

@CloudyMrs what is up with this wind for days?

It is a time where I really appreciate an ebike. Still gets me moving but the head winds aren't a pain

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious yeah, really noticed the difference in range when running into a headwind for a while. Usually only a problem if I want to go a very long way.

@CloudyMrs

@CloudyMrs I have to admit, I'm getting a little nervous about the bit of my journey from Aberdeen Station to the start of the Deeside Way in August. I'm not seeing any good routes. Lots of dual carriageways.

Do you remember when the right wing of the UK Labour party went on a campaign to make sure they didn't win an election in 2019 b/c they thought the leader was too left wing?

I'm glad they aren't doing that again now that their current leader is sufficiently right wing. #UKpol

@HeavenlyPossum it isn't surprising when many people have an analysis that simply divides the world into fuckers and the fucked.

@foone this is why I chose clojure those years ago. Most fun I had programming since logo and I could actually get things done.

Guile scheme and fennel are looking like possible new things for me

@kat all too busy cheating to show good sportsmanship

@adamgreenfield that's because diligence and precision is for boffins, and no one here wants to be a boffin, and no one here wants to listen to them (I remember being really struck by that when radio 4 was interviewing my co founder - the interview started as a business one until they found out she studied maths at uni and then it weirdly switched to a boffin interview. It was so weird)

@baldur I thought Web 2.0 was the same as the web, but with added VC enclosure of the commons and advertising engagement driven surveillance capitalism?

@evan why can't I block him? It is just a link to his post page that takes me out of my app

@Saltssaltgirl SEL?

@HeavenlyPossum @simon_brooke there was this question in 2011 at Eton https://www.indy100.com/news/eton-college-entrance-exam-question-army-killing-protesters-private-school-9090156

This was a good campaign #ScotPol
