Isn't that just the metadata?

people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh

I'd recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren't in the US. They're not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they're the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.

I hope the new job is going to work out for you!

Personally, I'm pretty unhappy in my company, but I've mostly been using the free time to do things that I can be fulfilled with - especially Wikipedia editing, which can be done while remaining available for the colleagues and even looking like I'm working because I'm online :)

Maybe this could be some kind of partial solution for you as well?

As for the alcohol, I'm so sorry for this and I hope things will get better. If you feel like you're losing control, I highly recommend checking out if you can get professional help, by a specialist who won't judge and is there just for that.

Good luck!

hahaha you'd be surprised! I don't know why but when I started doing more sports and eating well, I gained weight (a little bit) for an entire month and then lost A LOT in the span of a couple of weeks. The beginning can be weird while your body adjusts.

Congrats on the run, and great news for your wife! The physical effort may also simply mean you're gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat :)

Yes, especially books I want to lend to friends because I thought they deserved attention.

I'm really grateful for this series!

(I don't think that's it - it's 9.99 if you're paying on desktop and 12.99 with the Apple tax (also applied to Android), but applies to your whole account.)

It looks really good, thanks for the recommendation!

And why did anyone decide making "unknown" countries completely invisible?

What's the scale?

yup

Hahaha that's fair! I'm a big mood reader and happy to ignore my TBR (which I keep small) so reading new releases does happen sometimes :)

Yes and no: I don't on purpose, but sometimes I end up doing them because of Halloween related releases :)

For the videos specifically, probably hosting them on a friendly Peertube instance?

It's so gorgeous!

singular they/them users are usually non-binary, ie. neither men nor women, and they've been around for a while and are getting more visibility now thanks to a more accepting society.

while it can be hard to read the first few times you encounter them, you'll get used to it, don't worry! :)

Should just have [Major] and [Minor] in the post title imo
