Can anyone recommend cheap co2 monitors which can be easily queried without vendor specific apps? TIA!

the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu, but you shouldn't confuse it with gnulib, which is developed by the gnu project, who shouldn't be confused as the developers of glib, which is the gnome project, in which the g also stands for gnu

@violetmadder @wouter sitting back and watching this shitshow of a thread, I’m astonished we progressives (yes, this includes @wouter who I’ve witnessed do amazing work, inside and outside of Debian, for decades) achieve *anything* with all the own-goal infighting.

I’m still on the hunt for a blog a bit like Sf Signal: covering news and new releases of written SF. Kind of astonished I haven’t found one

Even the backwards track which I always used to think was just filler

First spin of “the stone roses” in ages. Forgot how good it is

Cheers Thunderbird, for seemingly intersposing random HTML in my email headers:

<BR><FIELDSET CLASS="moz-mime-attachment-header"></FIELDSET>

Luckily I can clean this up with mutt (many other mail clients are downright refusing to show me the messages)

@lp0_on_fire @srtcd424 @revk I can't go within a click of that place at this time of year without feeling uneasy. Or Northumberland Street.
