Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Thought for the day

What are your thoughts on open source?

Open source software, science, repair manuals / right to repair movement etc..

I am firmly on the pro-open source side of the argument. Other than at work, I use Linux on everything (Android is still kiinda Linux). I will generally choose the open alternative, though if there is no compelling open alternative I will buy the closed source version. See CAD software / industrial software.

Yes. Love Louis Rossmann, and Linux.

Just replaced my Note 5 phone battery, though I have to buy a new back cover, because it cracked while I was heating up the glue with my hair dryer. Only $7 from China, anyway - and I get to choose a new color.
