“To keep the power in the hands of developers and honor its deep roots in open source, Netlify is committed to being good stewards of the Gatsby open-source project”

Back in 2023, I made a Twitter thread on how to switch to a low-cost, open-source #FOSS platform for newsletters called #Listmonk following #Mailchimp's changes to their free plan:

I hope this bullshit finally disinhibits people in Europe - particularly those not on the left - from condemning the MAGA regime, and retaliating economically instead of pathetically trying to appease it.

Pathetic.

The Federal Court of Appeal delivered two major environmental victories last month. The court found former Fisheries and Oceans Minister Joyce Murray was “procedurally fair and reasonable” when she did not renew licences for open-net salmon pens in the Discovery Islands in 2023. The same court found that the federal government acted well within its purview when it listed plastic manufactured items as “toxic” under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act in 2021.

Starting the year with a drive-by contribution to the hamster time tracker.
I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.
