Unlike many, I'm not annoyed by Google Advanced Flow for people who want to side-load apps. However, I _AM_ annoyed that the short URL is "Google Advance Flow" (not advanced with a 'd ').

Whee! A fresh new episode of Linux Matters is out. In which I am grateful to IBM for the LinuxOne project, giving me access to an S/390 - for free! They must be mad, or really nice, or a bit of both.

Love the idea of setting Cursor's new Automations loose on my repos before bed, and waking up to a neat pile of PRs and bug triage. A tireless night shift of autonomous popey's, doing the boring stuff while I sleep. Results ready for human review with my morning coffee. ☕

I booted a full RISC-V #Ubuntu virtual machine just to test one of my snaps - to make sure it works - and it does!
Neato!
