Brexit: Big Ben bongs fundraising appeal closes

Money was donated to get the bell ringing on Brexit day, but it will now go to a veterans' charity.

To be frank this sums up #Brexit

Just a reminder all of this is sitting in this one little equation: \({Z}^{2}+C\)

We have just went through and upgraded all of the peripheral #QOTO services to their latest versions. Many new features and some nice performance improvements in a few places. the Discourse forum is loading much quicker for example.

The following is the list of services that have been upgraded.

NextCloud - https://cloud.qoto.org

GitLab - https://git.qoto.org

GitLab pages (including user hosted pages) - https://*.qoto.io

FunkWhale - https://audio.qoto.org

PeerTube - https://video.qoto.org

Discourse - https://discourse.qoto.org

One small reminder over the most recent upgrade. Because of changes in 3.0.0 our search index had to be recreated. Because we have one of the largest historical collection of toots in the fediverse going back several years this means it will take quite a while to re-index. It may be a day or two until full text search is fully working again but it will slowly come back online. Thanks for the patience.

"Our analysis of more than two hundred samples of pay data provided by DoorDash workers across the country finds that DoorDash pays the average worker an astonishingly low $1.45/hour, after accounting for the costs of mileage and additional payroll taxes borne by independent contractors. Nearly a third of jobs actually pay less than $0 after accounting for these basic expenses."
