That's really funny - I'm definitely running a Shadow IT Operation at my workplace! My attitude is that as long as my output is interoperable with the software and systems that my colleagues are using I should be free to work however I like.

For a bit of perspective: I was brought up vegetarian and was surrounded by other vegetarians as a child. My parents were vegetarian and I'm bringing up my children vegetarian (more vegan actually).
Eating meat has essentially become unthinkable in the micro-culture and tradition of my family, and I expect this to continue. There is no 'perseverence' in it - it's simply a fact about what we consider to be food.
I expect there to be non-meat options and don't feel socially excluded because my diet is non-typical, because this is how I was brought up and how my values were shaped as a child. It was more controversial in my parents day, but I'm grateful that they made the decision and that mainstream culture has become mostly accepting of it now.
I guess what I want to say is a) you exert an influence on culture, even if it takes time, generations even, and b) you can afford to not be overly sensitive to social judgement.
There's no IT department as such - it's a small business. My boss had everything set up by a guy who moved away and if there's a problem these days he gets people from the local computer shop to come over! All the other machines here are running Windows.
Adjusting the soil mix sounds like a good idea. Could you also have the upper pots dipping more shallowly into the water, reducing their wicking surface?
Not at all surprised to see UK kicking the can down the road. No one has anything to gain by getting involved in this with the US, and apart from anything else an oil crisis is perfect cover for homegrown economic failings. We'd be back to getting insulted and slapped with tariffs again in a few months, even if we did help them.
Website is someone else's computer.
It would also instantly make it impossible to find for everyone who knows it as GIMP, and mean that users of the new version wouldn't see any of the huge amount of existing tutorials for it.
The word only really has two meanings in one country anyway (the US).
Debian update and GIMP 3.2 on the same day 💪
If they did things that people actually wanted they would probably be allowed enough time to implement it properly, instead of this scatty and neurotic grasping to mesh in with whatever is being hyped this week.
It's either a lack of courage or a lack of vision ultimately, and it looks like failure no matter your political standpoint.

Man, I would love to do some cycle touring...
I don't have any experience with open bike computers but I did set up a very old Fairphone 2 running Fairphone Open and the OsmAnd app for this. In airplane mode and only GPS for location the battery life was incredible, even without making use of spares. And you can of course import & export gpx tracks freely in OsmAnd, which is basically the best app ever.
A totally viable solution.
