I'm not happy that tooters.org is (apparently) gone, but I am quite happy that there isn't anyone spamming the #tooters hashtag with one instance's updates anymore.

#tooters belongs to all of us, because we're all #tooters.

Randomly came across one of the oldest Youtube videos I've seen in quite some time, from 2006:

REPEAT AFTER ME:
FIVE
TWELVE
BY
THREE
FORTY
TWO

42!! Lucky number! NOT 84! (Even though it came out in '84, that's immaterial!)

The ONLY Macintoshes that ran at 512x384 were the 1990 Mac LC and IIsi with the 12" screen, and the Color Classic and perhaps other related later all-in-ones.

ALL MONOCHROME COMPACT MACS HAD 512x342 RESOLUTION SCREENS.

The genetic mutations I hoped to get when I was a kid:

• The ability to fly
• Telekinesis
• Telepathy

The genetic mutations nature actually gave me:

• Stinky sweat (Asians, y'all are missing out!)
• The ability to smell asparagus (makes bathroom time interesting!)
• An extra muscle/tendon in my wrist that only a surgeon would notice (because a surgeon once pointed it out to me)
• The ability to digest lactose (poorly!!)

I wish I could understand it. This tongue twister song looks like a lot of fun. 😄

P.S., the youtube video has very good English subtitles

I just realized I stay up way too often now because my cat isn't here to tell me to come to bed and sleep. :'(

@amin, have you gotten scli to work in #Debian?

I gave up because pipx refuses to install urwid, and I think Debian's version is drumroll way too old. ;)
I wish pipx just had scli. There's an scli package in PyPI, but it's literally an empty placeholder for nothing.
Infuriating.

Do NOT peruse the #MardiPâtisserie hashtag if you're on a diet.

You have been warned. ;)

This script is getting slightly out of hand XD

Time to #WhackKDEConnect (delete the profile and set it up from scratch).

I love the program, but it can be cantankerous at times. Everything works fine, except the SMS function gets overwhelmed at times and requires me to "whack" it.
