We tried to grow hot peppers in Massachusetts last year and got about 7. This year we went big and so there was enough for a batch of hot sauce (and more are on the way!) This is a mix of mostly jalapenos, a couple habaneros, some serranos and some Jimmy Nardellos something with white vinegar, pineapple juice, onion and garlic, then finished with lime juice, salt and honey. It's hot and sweet.

@skinnylatte Does AI need an apartment? What is AI using apartments for?

This morning I woke up mad at software that doesn't exist. In my dream, I was trying to write a note using some kind of notecard template and it kept auto-completing all my words, eg but -> buttermilk, later -> lavender. Eventually my whole (very important in the dream) note was just a biscuit recipe with like 7 greetings at the top and my name signed at the bottom. I woke up angrily trying to just do a handwritten note with the world's dullest pencil on a piece of scrap paper. #softwaredreams

@cwebber I love that your drawing style is already 100% uniquely yours.

@byte @pecet @rail I want more biking and more public transport and more walkable areas. However, people are going to keep using cars when those options are dangerous, unreliable, non-existent or not usable by people with mobility issues.

@mayintoronto @skinnylatte Oh no, are you no longer able to eat it? That sounds very sad.

@mayintoronto @skinnylatte I used to buy non soy miso for a friend with a soy allergy (who had since moved away.) I never got around to making non soy tofu for them but I have a chickpea recipe saved in my "to try" files.

@cwebber It's always a good time to check in on someone's new work! You might find you ALSO like the new stuff. This happens to me all the time with music and authors, so why not code creators?

I made the illuminated "Stay Filthy" part of this prom-ish photo backdrop.

I have disturbed sir from his slumber.

@josephcox Those pictures they take at the airport that they claim will be immediately deleted? Of course.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic I also love this org which peacefully stands in front of hate groups with rainbow umbrellas so that kids (and adults!) don't have to see them. https://parasolpatrol.org/

@cwebber @kevingranade Have you tried a khichdi version? Basically mung beans and rice cooked together in a rice cooker. I like to add onion, mustard seeds and cumin seeds sauteed in a little ghee to mine. You can serve it with a wet curry or with yogurt and pickle or alone.

@cwebber @kevingranade Here's an instant pot version. I have an old rice cooker so I just saute stuff and scrape it into the rice/water/bean mix before turning it on.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are still allowed to have fun and see friends and eat a slow dinner and celebrate things, even while "all this" is going on. Make your five calls, be part of a protest, pick your piece of "the work" each week but also make sure to nourish yourself and your networks because we are going to continue needing each other.

@UnknownSilicon Thanks for sharing this!!

@webology Like a personal capacitor for potential new information?

I love the grown up version of whack-a-mole that we get to do at the end of each office working day where you close all the tabs. (Ok, maybe like half the tabs.)*

*I'm definitely closing SOME tabs over here and I will take the tiny peppering of partial wins.

@_L1vY_ @GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeliaChristina @anubis2814 I think they are letting *some* smart people help them this time. That's what Project 2025 seemed to be all about.

@anna These are important points.The next generation can't be a carbon copy of the group that can before them.

I'd also like to add that while there is a lot of enthusiasm for FOSS teaching and even maintenance, many projects struggle to bring newer people all the way into leadership and the conversations where they're planning for the future. And that's something that projects looking at their long term futures need to get better at.
