Me: "Hey it would be nice if #LibreOffice could provide a nicer name and icon to the operating system's processes list, at least on Linux, instead of still using the StarOffice binary's filename from 39 years ago…"

🎉 Happy to announce that my talk "A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP" at FOSDEM has been accepted! 🎉

I'll explore a new way of seeing XMPP and how it can achieve things quickly and simply when used as a coding interface. I’ll also discuss the work of the XMPP Standards Foundation and why having many XEPs isn’t a bad thing.

📍 See you at FOSDEM 1 & 2 February 2025 at Real-Time Lounge.

Talk time slot and details at fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…

My daughter recently got very interested in puzzles, particularly simplified Sudokus in her comics. The problem was that she really enjoyed the puzzles, but the comics only come out once a week - a limited supply!

In an exceedingly-rare case of "developer actually finishes side project", I built a quick web app at kidssudoku.com

It uses a small 6x6 grid, and emojis in theme sets rather than numbers.

If you've a young puzzler in your house, give it a go, and let me know your thoughts!

I think I now know what "planned obsolescence" means. My little Braun alarm clock has been stuck at this position (advertising photo) now for two days in spite of feeding it two distinct batteries. It would seem that after three years, it's dead Jim.

The second hand is in motion, but neither minute nor hour move by themselves.

In related news I've ordered a small christmas present for myself.

Prosím vás, my si s @archos strašně moc vážíme jakékoli vaší podpory, ale pokud bude na výběr, jestli se chovat slušně nebo platit, myslím že mluvím za nás oba, bereme raději tu slušnost a lidské chování.
Než podporovat něčí rasistické a homofobní výlevy, to si raději sami odpustíme nějaké kafe a investujeme to do provozu instance a serveru 😇

"Have you ever wondered what people used to name their dogs back in medieval times?

"Lucky for us, there was this book written back in the 15th century that included over 1,000 names that were considered to be suitable for dogs," Lexi says.

After reading the entire book, she shared some of her favorite names, which included Garlik, Nosewise, Synfull, Salmon, Mustarde, Bryan, and also Nise and Noty, Filthe, Dredefull, and Arguement.

The book, which featured about 1,065 dog names that people deemed appropriate back then, was recently sold into a closed private collection.

The Smithsonian Magazine said Sturdy, Whitefoot, Hardy, Jakke, Bo, Terri, Troy, Nosewise, Amiable, Nameles, Clenche, Bragge, Ringwood and Holdfast were all also popular dog names

Conservatives love to accuse progressive politicians and premiers of being spendthrifts. But as the record clearly shows, they're no better — and often far worse — when it comes to keeping government spending in check #Conservatives #Canada #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/12/0…

Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence

For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.
