Language fixes:
Why is a group of squid called a shoal when it should be called a squad?
Jet ski. Dumb name. Obviously it is a Boatercycle.
"Randomized Double Blind Trial" should be "Trick or Treatment".
Bee Hotels - lil wooden structure that solitary bees can nest in from time to time.
That's great - support local wildlife etc. But seriously, who was the marketing genius that decided NOT to call them all "Bee & Bee"s?
Narwhals should be renamed tunacorns.
Hemorrhoids should be assteroids.

People Suggest New Names For Badly Named Things And These 50 Make So Much More Sense
When you sit down for a while and really start thinking about language objectively, you realize that a lot of things don’t really make much sense. There are inconsistencies and irregularities to account for.Ieva Pečiulytė (Bored Panda)

My thoughts on this xz/liblzma stuff[0] is that we're reaching a boiling point where no one checks anything. Until we make simpler systems with less moving parts this will continue to happen.
Since Plasma 6 dropped recently and there's been the whole KDE Global Theme situation I thought it'd be a good idea to bring the one and only David Edmundson back on to the show to talk about the responce from the project along with plans into the future

"LIke spam" and (nearly) empty profile
As I said earlier, I very rarely recommend #FediBlock distinct accounts, not for a different view on things (that would be personal) but for malicious behavior, like spammers do.
Here is the account, I recommend considering blocking:emilyii99@diaspora-fr.org
The account itself has only an avatar image and #watch #my #secret #video written as a profile bio. That is very typical for spammers. Also it doesn't post or comment anything.
Here is a screenshot:
EDIT: Looks like her real name is Jessica Albos: tineye.com/search/?url=https%3…
This is typical for "nude avatar spammers", who grab a model's or leaked pictures of an attractive looking woman and then abuse it for attracting clicks to them. The last step doesn't actively happen here, but her watch my secret video should lure horny young men to her profile outside Diaspora.

Have you committed to keeping the app interfaces stable and standardized yet, such that app developers will no longer feel unwelcome by having to chase moving targets as Nextcloud versions change?
Apps like News, Social, and PicoCMS were good ideas, but they've become abandonware because you didn't follow best development practices, and you broke them. The Nextcloud app ecosystem is poorer without these apps, and cluttered with these abandonware carcasses, scaring devs away.

Oh, yeah. We get downright silly when we have our buckets on and no one can see our faces.
Though the best one was a convention where we (our 501 garrison) were doing 'line patrol' outside the main doors, and some smart-ass quipped, 'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?'
I stopped, tilted my head and said, 'Princess? I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU!' and started running towards him. He backpedaled away from me and his buddies were all laughing.

The unsung #heroes who help build America and keep it running— #immigrants #BridgeCollapse
“Does America need a more searing visual image than eight men working for their piece of the America dream — filling potholes on a terrifying bridge in 1 a.m. darkness — to understand that our nation was built by immigrants, runs on immigrant labor and needs immigrants?”
The men who fell from that bridge are the people who build our nation
The immigrant workers who fell from the Key Bridge are the people who build our nation. You can’t pray for them and also be against their dream to come to America.Petula Dvorak (The Washington Post)
