The spider app on my main phone is getting a bit out of hand. However, I can't seem to find a decent new phone that's explicitly supported by LineageOS. Any tips?

 

Step 1: Create integration between two proprietary, closed-source platforms.
Step 2: Advertise "Open source, open platform" as a major benefit of your new integration.

I just accidentally learned that "ember" is Hungarian for "human". I'm not sure that was a consideration when they renamed Amber.js to Ember.js in the very beginning, but it's certainly a fitting name.

 

Also TIL: Roscosmos delivered a pizza to the ISS once. And Russian kosmonauts used to pack heat on their space missions, so they could defend against wild animals in Siberia when they came back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NidW440dJtc

Hey Microsoft: renaming Windows Hosted Apps to PWAs doesn't magically make them so. Having to use a proprietary tool to package the app in a proprietary format is the antithesis of open Web standards. https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/02/06/welcoming-progressive-web-apps-edge-windows-10

Not sure if some joker at TUIfly is playing a prank or not:

"You are expected at the check-in desk 120 minutes before departure at the latest (180 minutes for long distance flights). You should take into account the fact that your booking may be cancelled and you may be refused access to the aeroplane, without reimbursement of the price of your flight, if you fail to check in on time."

 

Spontaneous new plans for Friday to Thursday will be fun, aside from spending slightly too many hours in steel tubes: Banjul -> Brussels (FOSDEM) -> Berlin -> Cape Town. Ping me, if you're in one of those and want to meet!

 

Decided to go back to cold Brussels from Gambia next week, attending FOSDEM for the first time in 6 years or so. See you there? https://fosdem.org/2018/
