My cats are on automatic feeders. So when the time change happened in fall, I didn’t adjust those clocks. As far as they were concerned, they got fed on time.
Now that the time changed back, those clocks are right again lol
I use Debian btw

Good drivers miss their exit sometimes. Bad drivers never miss their exit. Pat yourself on the back knowing you’re on of the good ones.
I once missed my exit in the middle of nowhere and had to drive an extra 20 miles until I reached the next exit so I could turn around, go back those 20 miles, and take the right exit lol
Blue has always been a favorite of mine, but purple has really grown on me lately. Naturally, I love bluish purples.
Once you figure out that purple doesn’t actually exist it’s even neater. Purple and magenta are colors your brain makes up when it sees red and blue light at the same time.
I bought this can opener after watching a Technology Connections video, and I kinda love my can opener.
My laptop doesn’t have dust filters, but the fan almost never runs anyway. Like the heatsink is way overbuilt for the CPU it’s attached to. It’s actually quite nice. I’ve never seen it hit 70 degrees. I’ve cleaned it maybe three times since 2016. It really only spins the fan up when I’m watching 60 fps YouTube videos or playing games. And even then, it kicks hard for a very short time and shuts off again.
And again, I bought this thing nine years ago. It’s just a little Acer. And it’s not even a nice one. I paid like 500 bucks for this thing.
Now, my wife’s MacBook that she games on…yeah, I need to figure out how to get the back off so it can get a proper dusting. Fuck you, Apple. Let me work on my stuff, dammit.
There is r/petloss for that. I lost my dog Nike (image link) in 2019, and it devastated me. About a week later, I posted her with this image (ext link: imgur) to petloss.
I don’t think these folks are disgusting for venting about their lost loved ones. It is hard losing a pet. I guess at that time, I wanted someone else in the world to know about her, the life she lived with us, how dearly we loved her, and how much she’s missed. It was a pretty long-winded eulogy. Conciseness was never my strong suit. Different people grieve differently.
But I do believe that you should look for the relevant subs/communities to post about losing a pet and refrain from making that kind of post on those for more general pet posting. At the same time, I think awareness is key. I’d reckon if you’re posting to r/cats or r/dogs instead of r/petloss, you’re probably not aware of it. I tend to assume grieving pet parents aren’t trying to karma farm.
The world is already shitty enough, and I don’t need to bring myself down with that kind of thinking anyway.
The dock auto hides lol
And as a multi-monitor user, I’m finding that part to be true. I’ve got my panels set up on each of my monitors exactly the way I want. Plus, controlling the wallpaper independently on each monitor as a built-in feature is dope.
How are your knees?
If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.
I didn’t realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.
Latte. I run Debian so this is Plasma 5. As I understand it, Latte doesn’t work in Plasma 6.

I’ve considered this in the past, and I might toy around with it in the future once I get the motivation to

For the lolz, of course. Like, who is still using the XP start button in '25?
I’m 32 so I was a kid in the 2000s. XP represents a golden age of the Internet to me. A time when every YouTube channel looked different and any random MySpace profile you ended up on was probably playing MCR. Before you had to sell practically every scrap of info about yourself to use nearly any service, and Google wasn’t visibly evil. Ads were mostly “Your friend’s IQ was 44. Can you beat that??” because all the world’s authoritarians were too old to care about the web. You could pretty reliably know you were talking to a person in a chat room, and you didn’t have to do some kind of mental calculus to determine whether it was a bot trying to rob your grandma of all her money in Google Play cards. Pretty well no kid in the 2000s is safe these days. I’m sure most of us said the racial slur or the mental slur or had sexual relations with everyone’s mother after getting shot in Halo. I’m safe. We never had Xbox Live lol But I played a lot of split screen Halo in the living room. Good, innocent times.
Rose tinted glasses and all that, but idk, I feel like we’ll never achieve that again. Everyone was throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck. And the tech was kind of in a Goldilocks zone. Just powerful enough to be cool and exciting, but not so powerful that it gets scary.
Except for those damn PS2s being used for nuclear bomb guidance.
And that’s fine. I said I really liked gnome. The only extensions I had were weather in the top bar and dash to dock. I just wanted it to do a few extra things, and I wanted to play around with widgets. Gnome was also a bit too rigid for my taste. Plasma makes tweaking small things a joy.
For me, ootb Plasma felt too much like Windows. I use Windows all day at work so I want my home machines to look and feel completely unlike Windows.
Not to mention how plastic recycling isn’t exactly easy anyway. Not all jurisdictions take all kinds of plastic. So you have to know what your recycling center can handle and what you’re tossing in or risk contamination.
I go out of my way to buy things shipped in paper, glass, or metal containers. Even though steel and aluminum cans do have a little plastic in them, it’s far less plastic than containers made entirely of it.
It would be nice if we could have more things sold in the bulk section so you can bring your own container. Like, if I could buy laundry detergent or shampoo using my own containers, that’d be sick.
