Ellen E Jones (who I wasn’t previously familiar with) really holds her own. They frequently seem to have polar opposite takes. And that makes for really interesting chat

@lasombra_br similar aphorism to “never go to bed on an argument”

I’m so angry and disappointed with the Debian web team. I shouldn’t have checked my mail last thing before bed.

New fork arrived! #cycling

@zhenech @jpmens neat hack :)
