Does the Elgato Stream Deck+ *really* have no way to control the input volume on macOS? They've gone to the trouble of implementing a dial control for *screen brightness*, but not microphone volume?
(And no, I don't want a whole WaveLink audio mix setup - I'm not streaming, I'm just getting on Zoom calls and want to see and control my levels, and AFAICT, Zoom can’t use WaveLink mixes as an input)

Wait... Zyrtec is only available by *prescription* in the US? It’s been the go-to allergy med in Australia for like... 20 years? It's not even “over the counter" - it's on *supermarket* shelves.
Here I was thinking allergies were bad in the US because of some hostile species that aren’t in AU... but it turns out y'all are just playing on hard mode for no good reason.

The best part about the IoT is that, while traveling in Pittsburgh, I can get a push notification that my son has left the fridge door open. Truly actionable insight.

I cannot oversell how important this list is.
I am currently paid by Anaconda, along with another person, to work on [@beeware](https://fosstodon.org/@beeware). I'm paid a competitive industry rate. The position is full time, and I've just hit my 2 year mark in this position.
It is no exaggeration to say that PEP 730 and 738 (iOS/Android support in CPython) *would not have happened* without that sort of support from a stable employer.
