I have ideas for writing A Thing, but I don't want to keep saying "X is Queer", and many people to say "WTF? That's not what that means"....

I propose we get rid of the confusing difference between "affect" and "effect" and just standardize on "æffect" for everything
Is there anyone who isn't a native #English speaker who has experience with #CodeOfConduct for tech/open source/open data communities?
Someone is claiming that only English speaking countries care about this...
(experience/knowledge of sexism, racism & LGBTQ issues a plus)

reminder that your computer/phone works because there's a little crystal in a circuit in there being zapped with lightning to make it wiggle so the rest of the computer can keep time like it's a metronome
OpenTripMap is a cool new #OSM based map for tourists. Easy web interface to search and show amenities that people travelling would need. Pretty cool. 👍🏻

How easy is it to do GPU computation and such on desktop #Linux machine now a days?
10-15 years ago graphics cards, & proprietary drivers, were a PITA on Linux. Have things changed a lot?
I'm buying a new computer and wonder if I should get a graphics card...
