I was thinking about how strange it is that the cupboard in a bathroom is called a "vanity unit", and then I got to thinking, what if all your furniture was named after the seven deadly sins?
* Bathroom cupboard = vanity unit
* Paid-work office = avarice unit
* Computer gaming station = anger unit
* Device running social media = envy unit
* Bed = lust unit
* Induction hob = gluttony unit
* Sofa = sloth unit
Some interesting (to me) stats from #FOSDEM
Talks about NFTs: 0.
Presentations about the Metaverse: None.
Cryptobros inviting me to a party in order to schill their coin: Zip.
Really enthusiastic LLM users describing how AI has improved their OSS codebase: Zilch.
People complaining about pronouns and codes of conduct: Nada.
"Ironic" hats saying "Make xyz Great Again": Conspicuous by their absence.
What did *you* think was missing from FOSDEM?
Folks selling Kindle books, you should know that Amazon now offers the option to allow EPUB and PDF downloads of DRM-free books.
The option is presented when adding new books to Kindle, but for existing titles you have to opt-in for each of them to allow these new file formats.
(Amazon isn’t great, but when a rare customer-friendly option arrives, please take advantage of it!)
