  1. Another item of off my bucket list:

    ✅️ visit an F1 race 🏁🏎

    And the best part was that I could come with my dad, who's been a life-long F1 fan, and we could both share the experience of hearing those V6s in person for the first time.

    We both loved it there and we are already planning which race we will go to next year 😀

  2. Today was my last day on , so here are some personal highlights regarding

    ▶️ resources in are now closer to reality
    ▶️ Akonadi Resource for Outlook/Microsoft365 is being worked on (in Rust :rust_ferris: !!)
    ▶️ We have a dedicated EWS server for testing, expect bugfixes!

    It was amazing being on Akademy again after 5 years and seeing all my KDE friends. Thanks everyone for a great Akademy and see you next year :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

  3. What has the PIM team been up to in May and June? Go read our bi-monthly blogpost to find out! 😀

  4. A lazy (and free!) Saturday, time to play around and experiment. How about managed by ?

    (Don't worry, I'm not merging this (for now 😈). I'm not even sure if it's a good or a bad idea. And even if it gets merged, it will be optional. I rewrote the process management code to make it extensible, so in the future we can also run Akonadi as a Windows Service or whatever is native on MacOS, with fallback to the mechanism we use today)

  5. @danarail A great read, thank you for sharing. This idea of extracting surplus from us unwashed #HoiPolloi, or #enshittification if you will, is a great analogy for predatory/ #SurveillanceCapatilism.

  6. @MJTNote @bookofsand Couldn't agree more about the writing on #Andor. It just doesn't get better, least of all in the Star Wars universe.

    Kudos kudos to #BeauWillimon.

  7. Can't resist me a good hashtag, and I just saw this one: #ComfortFilm ... in my case, films I re-watch to be comforted or lifted up out of the Drears:

    #EnchantedApril
    #AWalkintheClouds
    #Babette'sFeast
    #Unbreakable
    #Singin'intheRain
    #CharlieChaplin (almost any of his)
    #Speed
    #TheFugitive

  8. #Andor fans, if you haven't seen #KathrynHunter as the Witches in the recent Coen Bros Macbeth, you must take a look.

    I'm fascinated what they're going to do with the character of Siril Karn, based on his Psycho-reminiscent relationship with his mother, played by Hunter. I have the feeling they're setting up in this season a scary turn in the next, as he is just the stuff of which Hannah Arendt-style "banality of evil" villains is made.

  9. @Tender I'd really really like to see #BeauWillimon get an Emmy nom for #Andor ep. 10. Wow.

    Also some acting noms, while we're at it.

    Wow.

  10. #Bookstodon, @littleseamstress and I have been canoodling about making a "fave books" post on our website, so here's just for starters, in no order:

    Blood Meridian by #CormacMcCarthy

    Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell AND Piranesi by #SusannaClarke

    Foucault's Pendulum by #UmbertoEco

    #LotR of course

    Meditations on the Tarot by #ValentinTomberg

    The Historian by #ElizabethKostova

    The Secret History by #DonnaTartt

    The Man in the High Castle by #PDK

  11. @aliettedb #WilfredOwen is a miracle. My personal favorite of his is The Parable of the Old Man and the Young. I can't hear or read that stunning last line without weeping.

    Have you ever seen the film "Behind the Lines" starring Jonathan Pryce? (I think it had a different title in Britain. Based on the Pat Barker novel REGENERATION.) It's in part a wonderful depiction of the relationship between Owen and Sassoon, and gives Owen the last word, as it were.

  12. Oops, I forgot to properly introduce myself to the #fediverse. So...gangway!

    I'm a writer of #SFF in southern #Oregon, US-.

    I love to take long walks while listening to #podcasts and #audiobooks. My playlist is loaded with the classics of #SciFi, #Fantasy, and #Mythopoeic fiction.

    My favorite authors include #SusannaClarke, #Tolkien and #CormacMcCarthy.

    I'm also passionate about #Kdrama. (I'm mad about #JangHyuk), but my current favorite TV show is (easily) #Andor.
