I think having similar music tastes is definitely something I'd want for a hypothetical future partner. I want to be able to share my appreciation of some of my favorite songs with others.

I regret to inform you that UI freeze for GNOME 43 is in, like, ONE MONTH 😬😬😬

After six months of being EOL, Minecraft Bedrock Launcher is back with an update! It enables playing Minecraft (as in, the version on other platforms like Android, iOS, consoles, and Windows) anywhere you can use Flatpak! Play on Realms with your friends! https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher

Hot take: algorithms for suggestions aren't inherently evil - just some of them.

If you use #Microsoft #Outlook, it scans all of your arriving #email and sends the URLs to #Bing for indexing.

Z's random language quiz:
What do you call these?
Please CW your responses to avoid influencing others. I'm looking for whatever your immediate ‘gut’ reaction is here, however seemingly silly, as you would use in casual conversation.
