I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

I did not know that. I’ll give it a look for sure.

I didn’t appreciated the FDroid UX until Google app designers lost their damn minds. Now it makes me feel relief.

it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

I dumped a cup of coffee in my laptop a month ago and was so bummed that it wasn’t for sale yet.

Well, at least we can all rest assured that all the driver monitoring cameras/tech that’s being build by default into new consumer cars and trucks will only ever be used for safety.

The only thing that will stop climate change is if we reduce the beef industry and eat billionaires instead. Every billionaire will chop 0.1° off the warming trend.

And the old memes trend is that time the band did a bunch of coffee shop shows playing nothing but ukuleles.

Wine + Wayland for sure. It’s time to let X11 rest, it’s earned it.

I use Pop_OS because I really like having so much much GUI control via the keyboard. I’m patiently waiting for Cosmic to update things a bit.

Deja Dup backs my local machines to my Synology NAS. That uses Hyper-backup to send everything to Dropbox.

This is at least the 4th official microsoft font I’ve been around for. What a time to be alive!

Most of my machines, including my daily driver, run Linux. I’ve got one old windows laptop that I use (via NoMachine) to run Fusion360 on. And we have a 5+ year old Surface Pro that my wife uses for Dice Maker (a windows only program).

Neither of my old Windows boxes will run 11, so they won’t run 12 either. And I’m oh so broken up about it.

I was 12 when the first Linux kernel was released. Ah, what could have been…

While I don’t think the iphone is over-hyped I’ve started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.

• replaceable battery that lasted 3 days
• headphone jack
• physical keyboard
• fit in shirt pocket
• no bloatware

For example, did you know a release of a new fully open source LLM called OpenLLaMA just got announced by the Researchers at Berkeley AI Research?

Nice. Good to know what all of next month’s doom headlines will all have in common. ;)
