I stopped by the Moulin de Provence today. The pastry display was full of wasps. There were at least six feasting on a chocolate almond croissant. The danishes were in little plastic coffins, so I lined up for one of those. While I was in line, the staff brought out a vacuum cleaner and started sucking up the wasps.

Have the wasps always been that bad there?

It might be that they're just bad everywhere this year.

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
