@hugo I have a backpack from Waterfield that is a bit more than a laptop, but really just laptop and cables. They don't seem to make that anymore, but they have some others that are pretty light.

This seems to be the closest: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/macbook-cases/products/outback-solo-case-for-macbook-and-ipad (for Macbook, they have other models as well)

@popey where do we submit the bugs that you'll fix before leaving? 😉

Good luck at $NEWJOB!

They have an API key that they put in their builds and can rotate with updates. You can steal the key from the binary, but your client is going to end up unreliable as you constantly play catchup.

This doesn't matter if it is a single user, but if you're trying to provide it as a feature to many it effectively shuts it down.

Nothing in the GPL limits this.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Telegram just using it to show the results of Signal having a policy against externally developed clients.

@zeh @rysiek @maryjane @h3artbl33d today I looked and it seems they've started pushing the server code again.

@cassidyjames that cool, didn't realize they're making a Meow Wolf in Denver. Loved it in Santa Fe.

@rysiek @h3artbl33d when we were doing Ubuntu Phone, Signal was actively hostile to us making a client.

...reason we ended up with good Telegram support.

This doesn't seem good.

@micahflee do you think you could get an official comment and write an article about this? Seems like it effects a client that a lot of people are relying on to be robust.

@paperdigits that would be nice. There seems to be very little ZigBee on the market though. It is my first choice, but it seems that everyone is going WiFi because "people have that."

I really want a Zigbee thermostat but I haven't found one that I really liked.

Cool list of SVG resources and builders.

Probably a bunch of them could be turned into @inkscape plugins 😃

Starts talking about economic imbalance from the pandemic and then goes into the actual economic impacts of inequality in the US. Short and to the point.
