@magdelenehall I'm on Sicily right now, and the summer is considerably cooler than usual this year. Our house would normally be uncomfortably hot inside now, but the outside temperatures are so much lower than usual that it's still nice to live in.

The "red heat alerts" in Italy are just issued for normal summer temperatures now. It's rather silly really.

Similarly, in Germany, July was incredibly cold and some of my relatives were even considering turning on the heating at some point.

@cjd @lain Their economy is still growing faster than Germany's (oh wait, that one's in recession) and France's, but obviously not anywhere close to a rate that would make up for this decade's *BRRR*.

Shout-out to @mullvadnet for introducing #LightningNetwork payments this year (and keeping the 10% discount for privacy-preserving, fully FOSS payments).

And now you can also open a channel directly to their new Lightning node:

@cjd @lain Yeah, the alternative is a joke.

Rosemary envy.

@lain Reincarnation tax when?

@feld Just leapfrog to Tor only. 😅

@lain Not just that, but the ISS was originally planned to be EOL ~2016, and the current plan is ~2030. So Tiangong will easily outlive the ISS.

I guess the race is on for Starship to provide fast and cheap launch capacity for massive payloads in time for creating a new Western space station and/or Moon base before China is the only nation with people in space.

@silverpill @bengo I see spec contributors having a disagreement over compatibility/priority between AP and other specs, but where's the EEE? The OP even outlines 3 different options from his POV to start the discussion on it.

The person who inexplicably blocked me right after I asked for details made vague accusations about EEE going on, and I'm still just trying to find out what they were talking about. :/

@silverpill @bengo "To maximize interoperability, consumers can accept all three representations."

Same as with the original post, it would be useful to link to actual proposals in the form of an email, or repo comment or pull request. I see only a single contributor for that wiki page, so I still have no idea who proposed what and why it's harmful. But I'd really like to know.

@bengo @socialcg Posting vague accusations without any concrete information and sources is very bad form. Linking to the actual information is literally what the Web was made for.

@cjd @lain Should obviously be TypeScript, so it's totally impossible to make mistakes (or so I hear).

@cjd Also, if yellow represents light instead of neutral, then why is there a light skin version? 🤔

How did I not notice before that you can find and copy emojis directly in #GNOME Search?

All this time (when outside of UIs with integrated emoji pickers), I was opening the Characters app and using the search in there, like some kind of caveman.
