I’ve been off my regular meds for about 2 weeks now (in order to take some antibiotics) and I don’t know if it’s psychosomatic but I generally feel more energetic and “with it”

@andrew_shadura oh nice. Nah the logo on the basic punter tee

@mcc also completely agree with you about the trilogy wow. What a time that was.

@mcc I think it’s just some screw up as the responsible publishers changed hands

@mcc hesitation marks has been deleted from *all* digital platforms at the moment

Is it just me or does this year’s FOSDEM t shirt glow in the dark?

I wonder when the journal of functional programming is coming back…

I utterly utterly utterly HATE trails before bbc radio plays on smart speakers. Some variant on enshittification

@fraggle @bloody_albatross @scy I’ve seen it copied around a lot recently. You just be a proud comment-dad :)

@pwaring that’s very kind, thanks!

@andrew_shadura I didn’t realise you were at Fosdem, I would have loved to say hello!

@sxa yeah the review process was very quick. Impressive

@richardfontana I'd somehow missed that you'd moved into IBM (as have I, with the Middleware crew). "Welcome" might not be temporally accurate but "welcome" anyway!

@jzb Welp I failed to meet you. On the very off chance you’re near À La Becasse in the next hour and would like a beer. Find me!

@xavier sorry I missed this! I’m going to be in À La Becasse for the next hour (lovely pub near grand place) and you’d be welcome to join me (and small group of friendly Debian people)

@xavier I *loved* your PAW talk, thank you for sharing. I have more to write but you-know, FOSDEM, so maybe later!

Spoiler: I got in #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2026 #debian
View from the back of a crowded DevRoom for DPL talk

The queue for the Debian project leader’s talk is enormous. And quite frankly I’m surprised. I doubt I’ll get in. But this much interest can only be good?

@neil fair enough… decompress! If you hit the bars tonight let fedi know
