hot take, foss 

FOSS maintainers don’t owe you anything, even thanklessly maintaining the software forever.

Furthermore: It’s okay for software to not be updated with new features, as long as it doesn’t have known security holes.

20 seconds of hold music, then a voice states your purchase of a supremely expensive phone is nearly complete and that, "if you did not authorize this purchase, press '1' to connect to a customer support representative."

The voicemail message ended after that calm voice spoke.

I have found myself writing utterly incomprehensible spaghetti code in a completely goto-less programming language. Take that, Dijkstra!

@binney This worked for me in 2017, when someone fly-tipped asbestos in a local lane. Council did nothing for months, then I decided it was worthy of a blue plaque.

Unbelievable props to whoever's been leaving 3D printed blue plaques on my mum's road to celebrate local potholes
