Amid this news madness, I've thoroughly enjoyed being subscribed to the daily #CarbonBrief. Instead of compulsing the news, I try [and often fail] to focus on the most insightful items in my news feeds. This analysis of the latest UK auction for #WindPower was excellent:

"Sweden’s Secondhand Shopping Mall Shows Sustainable Retail Can Be Profitable"

Sweden's Secondhand Shopping Mall Shows Sustainable Retail Can Be Profitable | Happy Eco News
The world's first secondhand shopping mall, ReTuna Återbruksgalleria in Sweden, generated $1.3 million in sales by selling only recycled and upcycled items. Opened in 2015, the mall created over 50 jobs and hosts sustainability workshops. Residents donate unwanted items to an on-site depot where staff repair and restore them for resale.

Used our selfhosted #Koffan today in a real-world setting: One at home and adds items to the shopping list, the other at the grocery store checks them off when put in the basket. It updates live and works very well!
There are some UX quirks that make adding/modifying/reordering items a bit tedious, but it's a very new project (1 month old), so I expect it to be worked out in the future.

Sometimes people leave art in the Free Little Art Gallery, which is awesome! And I don’t care if it’s a crayon drawing on paper or yarn tied to sticks, if it’s art, it stays.
But… we do have to curate, and we do have *some* standards, and any offensive items are swiftly removed.

Sadly, my GrapheneOS, Pixel9a (128GB) can’t handle all my #Bandcamp music in .flac format, so it’s time to hunt down some old iPods to mod, or grab a refurbished/custom built one with plenty of SSD storage.

One thing I've taken note of is people are outraged about news items that I don't react to at all.
Both consciously and unconsciously I turn away from some news items because quite frankly, I experience both outrage and empathy fatigue. To protect my mental well-being, there's some topics I turn away from.
Part of this is my natural tendency to prefer to become very informed about a topic before I weigh in.

One of my favourite comedians is Mark Thomas. Does anyone remember the time he took on Sir Nicholas Soames (at the time Tory MP; Winston Churchill's grandson)?
In UK we have a way to avoid some inheritance tax by listing items of cultural interest as being available for public display. Thomas was aware that many of these items were not truly on display; this was a loophole, and back in 1997 decided to do something about it.

For fans of #Steam games where you can build -really- broken mechanics like Balatro or Slay the Spire (#deckbuilders, #roguelikes, etc. - "Make the numbers go UP!"), LOOTPLOT has been *extremely* satisfying for me
It's like: "what if Incredible Machine, but Ballionaire" - you randomly get access to a bunch of items that each have their own mechanics and trigger/play off each other, which you build out on a grid - but the grid itself can be manipulated by the items. Some of the interactions are absolutely wild.
Plays a little rough on CrossOver - I think the dynamic scaling plays havoc with texture calculation - but is still enjoyable all the same. (It's written in LÖVE - I really hope the author releases a macOS build!)
The sale price of $3.49 is crazy good for the enjoyment value I've gotten out of it

COVER ART MATTERS on Instagram: "In 2016, Kate Murtagh, the actress and model who famously portrayed the waitress on Supertramp’s iconic Breakfast in America album cover, was 95 years old. That year, a touching photo surfaced online showing her recreating the playful expression she made in 1979, a wide, cheeky smile and raised eyebrows that had become part of rock history. The original album cover featured Murtagh dressed as a diner waitress styled after the Statue of Liberty, holding a glass of orange juice in place of a torch and a menu instead of a tablet. Behind her was a whimsical model of the New York City skyline made entirely from breakfast items like cereal boxes, egg cartons, and cutlery, perfectly matching the album’s satirical take on American culture. Kate Murtagh passed away in October 2017 at the age of 96, leaving behind one of the most memorable images in rock music history.
