I have made a series of sensors using ESPHome and attach them to my Home Assistant which allows me to do all kinds of automation. I even built my own HEPA filter platform powered by two 140mm HSP fans using some good rocket engineering to boost pressure. It's all python based, can be easily 3D printed in a 220x220 printer, and uses standard cylinder HEPA filters.
I like to think ActivityPub is a good candidate.

"It's not shit code, it's just acronym driven obfuscation!" -My coworkers, apparently.
The Dell Latitude line has had them for at least 15 years now.
Facebook notoriously doesn't employ native speakers for all the languages the interface supports, so posts in languages they don't staff for have zero oversight.
Blog post without any sources that don't link back to the same blog.

Fake news.

I write a lot of ${BASH}
The last thing needed is corrupt governments and billionaire playboys spying on all communication channels under some fake nonsense about protecting children they don't really give a shit about.
Does he do that thing where 1/2 or 3/4 of the way though he resets the story completely leaving you with absolutely no emotional attachment to the resolution of the plot?

*Cough*seveneves, fall or dodge....those are the only ones I could stand more than a few pages. Sorry I just cannot bear to read anymore of his novels. The first few pages of Anathem I can hear him building a house in his own anal cavity. We get it, Niel, you know some big words. We all do.

> b) Mozilla won't earn me as a user until their CEO is removed

What childish nonsense has you all up in arms for a product you don't pay for?

This makes a ton of sense and has shattered my dream of an intergalactic ansible.

Well I am 40 this year and in the best shape of my life. I lost some flexibility in my lower regions but that's because I don't do taekwondo anymore, but instead switched to competitive running, cycling, and triathlon. 30 year old me would have wrecked 20 year old me, when I was in the Army, and 40 year old me can out-run, out-sprint, and out-lift 30 year old me handily.

What's my secret? Staying positive, staying disciplined, and HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY!

Men and women need to get on this train. You don't have to age ungracefully. Steroids are for everyone to enjoy - not just body builders.
