@Edent I book hostels on hostelworld and use their chat to meet the other people backpacking there at the moment. It always worked but the target age is 18-30 πŸ˜ƒ

One of my favorite things of FOSS is inclusion. It’s not required to buy these things, but if I want it (and I do!), I can feel the inclusion with the LGBTQ+ community. πŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’š

We might not have frozen kizza in the store, but we have a lot of fancy accessories and clocks 😍

kde needs to expand its branding outside of just software. i suggest we start with produce. we need kogurt, kheese, frozen kizza, vegekables, etc. this is how we will get mass user adoption

We are excited to announce that @bshah is now a trusted contributor in postmarketOS!

He has recently returned to KDE Plasma Mobile upstream development as well, which he has been doing for several years beforehand. Furthermore he is helping with improving certain mainline devices, such as the Fairphone 5 where he recently collaborated with @z3ntu to get call audio from the speaker working for the first time!

@n00b0ss 4 hours of delay and someone in my compartment probably didn't shower in a week and was smelling very strongly 😬

@nordkommission Thanks, looking closely at int.bahn.de/en/booking-informa I should first try to ask reach out to some DB staff on my current train from Brussels to Cologne and they can provide me with an overnight accomodations or another means of transport. And if they can't, I can choose an hotel

Anyone from the #bahnBubble knows if there is a way to get an hotel in Cologne paid by DB?
