Just... go and check out an ebike. Ride it for a week for free. And then turn it back in. You can check it out multiple times so long as no has a hold for it.

Whew!Whew! Careful out there today.
There's a lot of people in my timeline boosting and posting misinformation (and disinformation).
(eg that McAfee *unwittingly* posted an AI image of a woman with three hands - even though that was the *point* of the ad campaign... selling AI detection.
or that Madonna has rejected a $500 million dollar deal from Elon Musk)
Everyone can fall for misinfo. If you read a claim - ESPECIALLY IF YOU AGREE WITH IT OR GET JOY FROM IT - please verify it before you post or boost it.
Dont boost until you validate.

Posting this as a personal reminder. I make mistakes too and have accidentally boosted false info in the past. Bonus points for anyone who sends this post back to me in the future when I make that mistake again 😅

Large organizations and corporations moving to open source is a great thingLarge organizations and corporations moving to open source is a great thing.
If they have budget, they should still contribute and "pay" for the open source software they use.
Edit: Adding in this key quote as a positive example:
"Austria isn't just replacing Microsoft software. Unlike typical public-sector and corporate migrations, Austria's military has heavily invested in LibreOffice development itself. The armed forces have been funding the creation of new features and improvements that are now included in public releases. These additions, ranging from improved slideshow editing to better handling of pivot tables, have been rolled into the latest version of LibreOffice."
