This thread about #apt is so bizarre I can't help but share it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/comments/1qx76ta/someone_explain_this/

I was having a problem and decided to use JavaScript to solve it. Now I have [object Object] problems.

Are you into #opensource ? And in the #eu ?
There is a Call for Feedback by the European Commission for a 'European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy' For strategic approach to #foss in Europe, and a framework for using open source within the European Commission. You can respond until 3 February. It is useful to respond even if your point has already been submitted by someone else. The number and repetition of arguments is used as a weight. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en cc #fosdem
