My workshop stereo receiver's power switch broke a few years ago, and I finally got sick of powering it on and off with the wall plug. Pulled it apart and found the culprit was a small bit of plastic inside the switch, so #imaeddis replacement out of some steel wire.
Feeling pretty heavy right now.

The Pope being schooled in theological biology by an account dedicated to bat PR is perhaps the best combination of things to happen on this website.

Dans le le flot d'articles paru ces derniers jours sur le framablog, vous avez peut être raté celui de @angiegaudion qui raconte la 3e semaine de confinement de l'équipe Framasoft : « Ralentir pour ne pas s’épuiser »

#GNU #Guix 1.1.0 is out!
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/gnu-guix-1.1.0-released/
14K commits by 201 people since the last release! It’s been a lot of work but I think it’s a beautiful release. :-)
"Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists" by Pierce is so far not very "basic".

Dear burger franchises: why do your vegetarian burgers always have to be some kind of a special deal?
You got the patties already, just let me pick my favorite kind of burger and replace the meat with a vegetarian patty. It's not that hard.

I'm a master of April Fool's pranks. I wrote an entire, real book an a 40-year-old text editor as a prank.
This year's prank was my biggest one. Spent literally thousands of dollars on it (https://mwl.io/archives/6003). And I cancelled it. 2020 is not the year.
