Paying for libraries and code creates a dependency that could cause issues.
What if the license changes, what if the prices get raised, what if it's abandoned, how do you navigate all that?
Open source let's you fork, extend, fix things yourself if required.

Miners who aren’t servicing debt obligations will be fine. Most are operating at a gross margin of 40% or better today. As inefficient miners go offline post halving the difficulty will decrease making efficient miners more profitable.

I remember how my late Oma, Mary Hekkenberg never forgot and always held in her heart the soldiers who liberated her town in the Netherlands during WWII. Thank you to all those who serve and have sacrificed for our freedoms 🇨🇦. We appreciate you. #RemembranceDay

Because people spending lots of time on social media are some of the loneliest people I know. Including me, sometimes. trl.ca/2v1

I am rapidly approaching month 5 outside of the federal public service. I’m enjoy my new job immensely. Planning a flower farm and writing a book. I wish I had left sooner. I’ve been doing bi-weekly satisfaction checks and it’s been life changing. Everyday I wake up feeling joy.

After successfully getting a power automate flow to work yesterday, I was stumped as to why it was suddenly not working today, esp since it wasn't kicking up errors.. I kicked and prodded and finally learned that I had to add group forms manually using a unique ID.
Fixed!

We learn more by having fun.
I designed the #FWD50 workshop to make the participants experience and feel the content
Thanks for being my second dancer @RobButler
.@ClicksandTips is not hosting a silent disco but the beginning of a demonstration of who are early adopters, and second adopters (folks you need to pay close attention to), because they bring followers and eventually the latecomers.
Incredible.

And that's a wrap; final report submitted and my first semester with @SprottSchool's #MBA is complete! I learned a lot in my first semester about strategic concepts and financial accounting and I'm excited to start the second part of Fall studying marketing strategies!

Do you work at Indigenous Services Canada? I just created instructions on how to create a new GCDocs folder for that department, happy to share with anybody interested as DM (not sure I can put them here because they contain email addresses of GCDocs support and IT Service desk)

Happy 24th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 24 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g

Gratitude thank you post:
Why do I love Twitter?
I have never felt so connected to many of you folks in the #GC, internationally and in Canada. The ability to flip a DM to you, connect, collaborate & discuss ideas is incredible.
It's a great privilege to be connected.
TY! – at Ottawa, Ontario
