🏆 Achievement Double Trouble unlocked:
Wearing sweatpants over pajama pants while working from home.

I connected my Samsung TV to the internet to try for wireless display and casting from Android working and I regret it instantly.
Worse, there's gamepads ads and Ramsey giving me the middle finger on my home screen. It split my 4 inputs into two different tabs: one's a new games tab to push me into using their cloud gaming apps. No option to move consoles back to the main tab.
Wireless display to play videos from PC is nice, but casting doesn't work. Not worth it and …

@… Happy for you that you’re finding potential ways to fill that space in your life.
I can relate somewhat, having moved to the U.S. in late 2019 and working from home exclusively this whole time, finding community is definitely a challenge I’m familiar with.

Congratulations to Ireland's agricultural contractors and their haulier friends. Their sudden intervention is like a new COVID lockdown, and it's exactly what the country needs (six years and a month after the first version): a spring of working from home, walking everywhere (worrying about toilet paper shortages?) and not burning petrol or diesel. If it lasts long enough, our fossil fuel reserves will last until the ships from Hormuz show up again.

Me: I really need to launch the things I’m building with Kitten¹ this year.
Also me: You know what would be sweet? If I added an introspection API to make working with the Kitten Shell (REPL)² easier.
(It is going to be sweet though. Prototyping it in the REPL now and I’ll record a little demo when I’m done and it’s released. It’s going to make examining and affecting the state of the client from the server interactively even easier.)

Galway City Tribune article announcing my run for the Galway West bye-election.
As most working people know, the current way society is structured is driving us to working long hours often for little pay. It's time that working hard meant having a good life with a secure home.
The successive governments of Fine Gael & Fianna Fšil have put the interests & profits of landlords and investment funds over the needs and housing security of ordinary people.

IEA calls for working from home, driving slower and flying less to tackle energy crisis https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg4540d0g4o

Work from home and drive more slowly to save energy, global body urges
People should change how they travel, work and cook to tackle the energy price crisis, the International Energy Agency says.

Who’s there?

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…

God morgon mastodonter - idag sitter jag hemma och slipper gå ut i -16 grader.
Good morning fedinauts - I'll be working from home so I don't have to go outside. It's freezing -16 degrees celsius outside

Morning all! Working from home this morning, before a local appointment, to avoid going back and forward in a very inefficient way.
Doing some #podcast planning, admin and business promotion.

International Energy Agency @iea.org: We're in a major global oil & gas supply crisis, please save energy, e.g. by working from home or reducing speed limits.
Dutch government: "Not necessary here, since we can still get oil & gas, although at higher prices"
But dears, ...

Kabinet neemt adviezen IEA niet over: 'Geen tekorten in Nederland'
De waarschuwing van het Internationaal Energieagentschap leidt in Nederland niet direct tot extra maatregelen of adviezen.

And so the fun begins… Air Canada delays my return flight home today from #IETF125 in Tokyo by an hour…
——
Your flight AC4 to Vancouver is delayed because a mechanical issue on an earlier flight caused the scheduled aircraft to arrive late. It will now depart at 18:35. We apologize and are working to get you on your way.

My employer sent out guidance on working on site, tomorrow. I'm glad that I get to just work from home. #Milwaukee

The only downside to working from home is not having snow days. The campus is closed, so only WFH workers are online today.
