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.
Continuing with #Fedora and quite enjoying it. There are still some frustrations though:
- Fingerprint reader doesn't work very well.
- Auto screen dimming is horrendous - there's no smooth transitions and is very jarring (turned it off).
- LibreOffice is ugly AF. Replaced with OnlyOffice.
- I cant set a background on my login screen. It's just grey, which is a bit shit.
All small things though.
Finallyyyyyyyy 🎉🎉
When the #Wireshark wiki uses the plucky little CSS framework you created.
The kids were in holiday club yesterday and the sun was shining, so we managed to both get out on the bike for the first time in, like, 9 years?
Youngest: Muuuuuuum what's that orange man doing? (pic for reference)
Wife: There's no such thing as an "orange man." Do you mean the man in the orange trousers?
Oldest: DONALD TRUMP IS ORANGE!!
😂😂😂
This is why you shouldn't put stickers on your laptop...
Finally!
I decided to cancel my pre-order of the new @frameworkcomputer Ryzen 9 AI and instead went with the existing Ryzen 7 chip.
I'll get my new laptop a hell of a lot sooner, and according to Geekbench, it's still a BIG step up over what I have now.
Just need to decide what OS I'm gonna run now, #Linux or #Windows 🤔.
I have unsubscribed from the TL;DR newsletter today after enjoying it for many years.
Why? Because it's 90% AI bullshit and it's boring.
When your dogs follow you into the toilet and instantly regret it. 😂
In preparation for my new Framework laptop, I've been playing around with Fedora 41 on an old laptop. For the most part it works really well, but theming doesn't. I have no idea, but no Gnome Shell themes will work and the default one is horrible - everything is WAY too big on the default theme.
😬
So who's up for a global recession then?
Anyone?
No?
Thinking about my next laptop and #Apple has been giving me the ick lately with some of what they're doing.
Anyway, politics of it all aside, I'm thinking about a #Framework 13. Very expensive, but will hopefully last a lot longer.
Anyone have one? What do you think of it?
I heard this great saying today...
"Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad."
My wife recently got a rooster to help look after her flock, and it's a fucking beast!
For reference, the one behind is a fully grown, normal size hen.
I swear it's a goose in disguise! 🪿
Youngest: Daaaaaaaaad, how was the earth made?
Me: [explains the Big Bang theory]
Him: So it made EVERYTHING??
Me: Yup
Him: Even that rock?
Me: Everything
Him: Even that tree?
Me: Everything
Him: Even those ponies?
Me: Everything
Him: Even my socks?
Me: EVERYTHING!
Him: Even the farts that come out my bum?
Me: 🤦🏼♂️
Walked up to my youngest, put my wrist on his head and said.
"Don't move, you're under a wrist."
I am fucking hilarious. 😂😂
I really wanna play around with @mauricerenck@mastodon.online Komments and IndieConnector plugins, but I really don't know if I want to open that can of worms again.
Just read @thewk post on building his Polar Explorer II replica. Such a great post, and considering it’s pretty much exactly the same as my Seiko SBSC009, but for 1/3 of the price - and he got to build it - I’m a little jealous. 😂
