Notes

Notes are my shorter posts; kinda like my own little microblog. They have their own RSS feed and are automatically syndicated to my social profiles.

When your kid is like "Dad, I made you a present. It's a poo!"

Cheers, son. 💩

The single most frustrating thing about flipping from #iOS to #Android is that on iOS I can swipe from the either edge of the screen to go forward or back. On Android, for some stupid reason, swiping either way always goes back.

I'm really enjoying #Ubuntu, but the single most annoying thing is that a number of apps are blurry to the point of being unusable, thanks to fractional scaling. I believe it's a Wayland issue. 😟

Anyone know of a fix?

So it turns out that rotavating (tilling) is really bloody hard work!

Another beautiful day in north Wales. Today's plan is to get on the 60 year old rotavator that I recently repaired, and chop up some grass ready for planting wild flowers in one of the fields. 🌷🌹đŸŒģđŸĒģ

I love this time of year.

There are few things more enjoyable than the first coffee of the day. ☕

End of an era. 🙁

There are definitely worse places to spend your lunch.

The fact that there is no discover emoji on Micro.blog for technology is very disappointing. 😟 It seems like such an obvious one to include. đŸ’ģī¸

Beautiful moth I just found on the wall. Never seen one this colour before.

I hate getting new prescription glasses - it always takes me a few days of wearing them for my eyes to adjust to being able to see properly again. 🤓

Most of the time it's motorbikes up on my lift, but every now and then weird stuff make their way on there too, like this 60 year old soil tiller...

Traffic is awful round here.

So I recently took my #Motorbike in for it's first service and while there, they gave me this absolute BEAST to take out for a few hours.

Very similar to my bike except it's 200bhp instead of 170bhp. Beautiful machine.

I need to get out with the dogs before the temperature rises from "the surface of mercury" to "the surface oft he sun".

The furballs can't handle the heat.

So I've been running #Ubuntu for the last couple days and I have to say, it's been great. Very stable and no real issues to talk of. Snaps are still a bit shit, but a couple of commands later and I have Flatpak support.

Question - does Ubuntu shit the bed entirely if you remove Snaps all together?

27 April 2025 at 11:06

Um, when did the #Ubuntu image become 6GB???

The can is open and there are worms everywhere. đŸ¤ĻđŸŧâ€â™‚ī¸đŸĒąđŸĒąđŸĒą

(buds were free on an offer, I didn't really need them as my Sony ones are fine.)

It was all going so well with #Fedora until I connected my external monitor via USB C. It's absolutely will NOT stay connected. Works perfectly in Windows and MacOS, just plug an play. I'm about done with Linux, I think - I don't have time for this shit.
