Spotted this on birdsite from a developer working for Canonical on Windows Subsystem for Linux. The title is "Toxicity in Open Source".https://boxofcables.dev/toxicity-in-linux-and-open-source/I encourage you to read it with an open mind, because this happens a lot with new projects that offend "the hard core" in some way. The wider community not calling out toxic, ignorant behaviour is something that drives people out of the free software community.

This evening I recommend you switch off the TV and social media, and do something to keep your mind busy.Is it playing games? Reading a book? Binge-watching Netflix? Knitting a scarf? A spot of gardening?Go do that. 🙂 It's good to be informed and do the right things, but it's not healthy to dwell on bad things outside of your own control.If you're still feeling anxious, have a phone call with someone and talk things out.

As promised, here's an article for how to make the most of remote working and preserve your mental health in the process!http://trechnex.freeshell.org/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-remote-working.htmlFor background I became a remote worker in the summer of 2018, and I have spent the last two years learning from trial and error what works and what doesn't. I hope these insights help people who have found themselves working from home for the first time because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Get your fill of the Internet Archive while you can, because apparently publishers are about to sue it into the ground. 🤦♂️ https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dzg8n/archiving-the-internet-archive-sued-by-publishers

I highly recommend the "Don't Break Debian" wiki page, because much of its advice can be applied to other Linux distros you might use on your home workstations.https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Hmm... I'm *very* tentatively back on the fediverse.The month-long break has done me some good, but I am taking a look around at different servers I might join.
