@ppk seems as busy 😃

@q you're absolutely right, I should not have passed that signal at danger!

Some interesting (to me) stats from #FODEM

Talks about NFTs: 0.

Presentations about the Metaverse: None.

Cryptobros inviting me to a party in order to schill their coin: Zip.

Really enthusiastic LLM users describing how AI has improved their OSS codebase: Zilch.

People complaining about pronouns and codes of conduct: Nada.

"Ironic" hats saying "Make xyz Great Again": Conspicuous by their absence.

What did *you* think was missing from FOSDEM?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Have submitted a proposal to fund https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot

@andypiper oooh, where the Laaaahndan one?

@andypiper packed. I've just left to get a veggie burger.

When in doubt, order a beer in a silly glass!

@RichiH social web room. Black pen slogans on the metal rails between rows. I think I was about 3 rows from the front.

Graffiti campaigners at #FOSDEM don't seem to realise that other people have to clean up their mess.

Your generic slogan has to be scrubbed away by a low-paid worker using harsh chemicals.

But I guess they're less important than your self-righteous vandalism.

I'm giving two lightning talks at #FOSDEM!
Come find me in the geospatial room on Saturday at 13:45 to hear about OpenBenches.
Then on Monday morning I'll be at the Maintainer's Unconference to talk about how governments can fund Open Source.

If you're off to #FOSDEM, here's my review from last year.

The way that Quote Posts work is a good template.
If reply limiting was done I. the same manner, the reply wouldn't reach you nor would it reach other people.

@dhd6 you and @jleedev have both come up with interesting and different alternatives. Thanks!

@marjolica eh? I've no idea what you're talking about.
It was a pre-print book with a publisher's watermark.

🆕 blog! “Removing "/Subtype /Watermark" images from a PDF using Linux”

Problem: I've received a PDF which has a large "watermark" obscuring every page.

Investigating: Opening the PDF in LibreOffice Draw allowed me to see that the watermark was a separate image floating above the others.

Manual Solution: Hit page down, select image, delete, repeat 500 times. …
