@metacosm @fred I wonder if any of our BU is present or visible at summit?

@fred @metacosm could develop a drinking problem

Are Google IO and red hat summit really happening at the same time?

Did a nasty reverse proxy hack as part of a server migration (for acme). Proud

A story as old as time

Let’s outsource our $THINGs to $VENDOR!

Geez we’re spending a lot at $VENDOR

migrating away from $VENDOR is prohibitively expensive
…
Let’s “archive” half our $THINGs!

@werdahias so the bad news is I seem to have already switched to pipewire but it is only the PA interface causing issues. If I can get my normal desktop stuff (Firefox etc) to use pipewire api (or even alsa) I could turn off the PA API

@nowster that doesn’t bode well!

@Edelruth @ygor @pluralistic I chose other. I think blog vote may be split

@ygor ok! I didn’t realise you were limited to 4 options (I’ve seen longer polls)

@cstross @the_lemonaut @qlaras there’s significant overlap but it’s not 100%, IMHO. I don’t think mundane sf insisted on forward-looking, utopian ideals.

@the_lemonaut does Kim Stanley Robinson’s work fit under Solarpunk? I’ve always loved his positive, utopian work
