Happy Free Software Day!
I'm accidentally celebrating by just learning about all the cool organizations and people working on free software in India. As in, I learned about FSFI first, and then I pulled on further threads from there and found more orgs, and then I discovered on their news pages that today is FSD. 😀
FSF India fsf.org.in/ @FSF India
Swathanthra Malayalam Computing smc.org.in/ @സ്വതന്ത്ര മലയാളം കമ്പ്യൂട്ടിങ്
Software Freedom Law Center, India sflc.in/ @SFLC.in
Free Software Community of India fsci.org.in/
The FSCI don't seem to have an official account on Fedi or Diaspora, but I'm now following some individuals mentioned on their website, by just searching for their usernames on Fedi and Diaspora.

♻️ Conversations 2.9.0 released ♲ @: Conversations 2.9.0 has just been released with the ability to search individual conversations, automatically reject incoming calls when the phone is busy, and other improvements. It will likely be the last 2.x release (aside from security fixes) before work will begin on 3.0

@musicman Years ago, I ran #Matomo (back then it was #Piwik) for the family’s business interests. I also briefly ran #OWA.
Over time, family members kept switching their sites to Google Analytics, and as utilization fell, I shut down the sites. -

The "zoo" of configurations for stellar systems just got a little bit bigger with exotic configurations of planetary orbits outside of a disk.

Just saw https://www.courthousenews.com/apple-must-pay-over-506-million-in-4g-lte-patent-dispute/
It couldn't happen to a nicer company, but the real answer is to end software patents entirely. -

on the plus side, I am getting very comfortable editing maven files, and I even learned something super handy about vim -

that was a typo in the reply. You'll notice I mentioned the Kings in the second sentence of my original post.
The point of my reply was that the website had left Sacramento off the list despite the Kings. I don't know if they left any other cities else off, or why they would choose to do that, but it's funny that the one team I decided to highlight was at least one of the teams they left off. -

Getting way too aggravated about people pushing their preferred distros and desktops on a Linux newbie. They're going to tell this kid to do something and he'll eff up the machine he uses for schoolwork. No one is nearby, so none of his advisors will be able to help.
Selfish. -

Disturbing reports that Google Play is threatening to kick out Mastodon apps. See:

App stores have a track record of acting capriciously & are also easy targets for gov't censors (including Trump). This is why alternatives like @fdroidorg are so important for user freedom.
If unfamiliar: F-Droid is a free & open source app you can use to install other Android apps, with focus on free & open source software. Get it here:

Some companies are very explicit about allowing people to work anywhere and paying them the same.
As for the lunch conversations, these conversations happen in slack (which is lame, but that's what we use). Remote-first companies and teams are better about this, but we would have plenty of hipchat (remember them?) conversations at Nagios.
The lunch room conversations feed the good-old-boy promotion process. My boss likes bikes. I like bikes. I get the promotion sort of thing.
One thing we do is have a weekly happy hour. Sometimes those conversations are technical, but not nearly as often as a work lunch would be. -
