Okay, I OCCASIONALLY wrote little snippets about life on my story photos. More often than not I just complained about shit, but that feels very, not the vibe right now. Got enough negativity going on in the world without me adding to it.

Also, asking me questions is open to anyone! Though seeing my answers is for supporters only

I just got off the phone with a customer who is going to have me switch his computer from Windows to Linux.

Also got a payment today for a Linux laptop that I'll be shipping to another state.

There is a lot of movement away from Windows. I hope the trend continues.

Linux desktop adoption is growing significantly, driven by Windows 10's end-of-life, user resistance to Windows 11's AI/interface changes, and hardware upgrade costs. Data suggests Linux's true share, including ChromeOS and "unknown" OSes, may exceed 11% in the US. Key drivers include gaming viability, improved ease of use, and privacy concerns. Linux is shifting from a hobbyist OS to a pragmatic choice for users seeking an alternative to Microsoft's ecosystem.

"Each morning, I wake up to messages on encrypted chats alerting members of potential ICE sightings in Long Beach. Throughout the day, I am alerted of abductions, and requests to assist with efforts. This is a part of a large effort for community resistance in Long Beach.

I am grieving hard for my inability to go get lost in forests since I became disabled.

What, if any, indoor trees are available for me to grow at home?

I already have a room filled with spider plants, 2 avocado plants (one trying to die), a Monstera, a snake plant, and a dracaena marginta.
I would like a tree tree, something native to the UK, something that feels foresty, but can live happily indoors and ideally with minimal care needs.

@TheBabylonBee: "St. Peter Shows Scott Adams To His Glorious Heavenly Cubicle

Dilbert taught me how to read. Stacked perilously high – between Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side – in my childhood home’s bathroom, Scott Adams’s cartoon provided the perfect reading material for the porcelain throne. Even before I knew what most of the words meant, I’d belly laugh at page after page of banal workplace humor. This is bizarre: why, as a preschooler, was I so tickled by these jokes about human-resources departments and fax machines?

in reply to YoungBlood

Adams, who died in the night, enjoyed more than a three-decade run as honcho of the funny pages, starting in 1989. For much of this century, his was the biggest cartoon in the world: Dilbert, Dogbert, Alice, the Pointy-Haired Boss, Wally and Catbert appeared in some 2,000 newspapers every day, often at the top of the page. There were yearly calendars and best-selling books, television spin-offs and Dilbert-branded vegetarian burritos.
in reply to YoungBlood

His characters were pasted onto office doors and outside cubicles across the countries like mezuzahs.

It was a nice run, until 2023 when Adams went on a livestream to gab about a Rasmussen poll that said nearly half of black respondents wouldn’t confirm the statement “It’s OK to be white.” Half jokingly, half seriously, he said black people are therefore a hate group and white people should get away from them. He disappeared from newspapers practically overnight.

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove? Someone on here told me about this book...

This books is:

* amazing
* a little bonkers, can't believe it's real
* hilarious ... wall to wall ant jokes

Let me share a passage:

"She went so far as to assert that, if nature had not given man to ants, ants would, at least in these parts, have had to invent or to breed something much resembling man in order to subsist in safety." 1/

in reply to myrmepropagandist

The fire ants LOVE humans and find us useful. Our narrator is less impressed.

"In the third place, it has been rumoured that man also keeps cattle; and from that fact it has been inferred by certain bold speculators that he must have reached a social and intellectual stage little below
that of certain ants, though not the most highly developed kinds."

The Author (A leaf-cutter) Musing about humans.

3/3

in reply to myrmepropagandist

It's nice to know that someone else who has watched ants has noticed that comport themself as if the planet were made for them and they have conquered it. They shape the landscape, farm, raise livestock, and organize all of their affairs and it really makes human people look... messy when you glace up from the anthill.

And yet! It's not like ants are peaceful or meek. They have their warlike moments, deceptions, and more.

So these things are not products of the human mind alone.

I listened to Hannity on the ride home today. Caller disagrees with us helping the Iranian people. Says we have nothing to do with it. I’m sorry but I disagree. Let’s break it down. If a mob is beating the sh!t out of someone, regardless of political views, gender, color of their skin - they need help. The bully in the sandbox needs to be smacked down. I hope someone would step in because if that were my son or daughter, I would want SOMEONE to help. Life is life. Regardless of whether we are…

This is really… getting ridiculous. Anybody can buy a costume.

Notable Changes:

Thanks to our two new core contributors (❤) we've now fully moved our CI and main release artifacts to @Codeberg! (this might be relevant to check for any downstream packagers) and managed to tackle a whole bunch of other long-open issues!

in reply to LibreWolf

To support Firefox' changes to (finally! ;) respect XDG directories, LibreWolf sticks to `~/.librewolf` if it already exists, for backward compatibility; but will use `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/librewolf` otherwise.

Unfortunately, we've also had do drop 32bit builds for Windows starting with this release.

See mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/147.… for upstream changes.

What are people using for 3D CAD modeling on linux these days? Once upon a time I did this (for a 3D print) and I remember using something that was pretty easy to learn and a nice balance between point and click & parametric geometric construction. I don't remember what I used though. I think for this bicycle restoration project I'm going to have to have a freewheel removal tool CNCed. Should I be using OpenSCAD? FreeCAD? Something else?

“As Canada contemplates our response to the collapse of the American empire and its alliances with the world, the cornerstone of our current strategy is sacrificing our dollars, water and energy in order to become more dependent on America, in a weird and improbable bet that we will figure out how to make millions of Canadians unemployed. I'm sorry, that just doesn't sound like a great idea to me.”

Okay, when I build my house I'm going to install ethernet with POE thought the house. One, for a security system, and two so I can have less WiFi signals flying around and better connection when needed.

I tried looking for a small device, that could plug into that ethernet jack that would create WiFi as needed. Any suggestions? I would like it to not have a cord, and since there is POE in the line, no plug. I don't know enough about this stuff yet

HR is the only department that gets a free pass for being completely useless.

They produce zero revenue, kill morale with endless policies, protect the company NOT you, and somehow still get invited to every meeting like they're essential.

Remove 90% of HR tomorrow and the business would run smoother, faster, and happier.

Change my mind. 🔥
