For almost 4 decades I have been obsessed with . I air drummed all over everything. I spent a good 8 years playing the crap out of Rock Band's Pro/Expert drum mode and destroying at least 3 of those fake plastic toys. But it DID teach me some fundamentals...

Today, at 47 years old, I finally have the real thing. (Sure, they're digital drums, but you get my meaning.)

This is my drum kit. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

(Yes, area rug is incoming...)

If you attended and chatted with me (about Thunderbird, Linux, or whatever), please say hello here so we can stay connected!

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@theron29 First: I hope you feel better soon.

Second: You have an absolutely wonderful city. It's colorful, clean, and vibrant. And the FOOD is outstanding. I have not had a single bit of food here that wasn't delicious.

Hopefully we can connect in the future. Take care!

Listening to @killyourfm at the @linuxappsummit panel

On one hand, I love his impassioned "we need ALL the money to spread desktop Linux to EVERYONE" suggestion

But he seems to utterly miss a core point

People will only give money if they can MAKE money from the investment

@sysrich @linuxappsummit Call me a hopeless idealist, but I reject that idea.

On some level, I want to believe that organizations integral to the Linux distro eocsystem -- and especially the Linux app ecosystem -- would invest money in order to gain more users.

There is a LOT to be gained here, and a larger userbase cannot and will not happen based solely on goodwill and happy vibes. Money is required.

My old school, analog heart loves that this is how questions were submitted for our panel about the future of the app ecosystem.

We are very proud to be sponsoring in this weekend!

Jason @killyourfm will be in attendance with a LOT of stickers and T-shirts to give away to our family.

Look for him at the venue all weekend, and at tonight's welcome party -- he'll be wearing a black Thunderbird shirt with a white logo that looks like this:

When you see Starbucks in Czechia just keep walking. There’s probably an amazing local cafe around the corner….

Like Coffee Fusion! I had a delicious Aeropress there while prepping for some  stuff. It was so fresh and the sweetness in the beans really popped. I didn’t even add sugar!

Highly recommended for your fix.

@ljs @vbabka Whaaaaaaat?

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@sesivany Thanks! What a great city.

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@ljs @vbabka If he WAS serious, he's dead wrong. This coffee shop was a revelation -- and I'm a coffee snob.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@ljs @vbabka Hey wait I just realized you're both humorously trolling me.... haha

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@sesivany It FEELS that way. I can't tell WHY it feels that way, but I rarely feel relaxed in new, foreign cities. Brno is an exception.

Who is attending and where are we having beers? 🍻

(I'll be there representing Thunderbird, and will have some swag to give away!)

@chinchzilla it’ll be streaming at least.

@bluszcz this is the hotel lobby so I probably can’t test in the dark.

I'm driving from Croatia to Czechia for . And I'm grinding my own coffee beans and taking an Aeropress for the hotel stay.

Mrs. KillYourFM calls me crazy.

I just call it dedication to good ☕😂

@muzzug are there any you recommend?

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@muzzug wow, with addresses too! Thanks for the effort. I promise to visit at least one of these.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@muzzug Coffee Fusion is incredible! I was so impressed with the Aeropress (so delicious and naturally sweet that no sugar was needed) that I also ordered a mocha. An incredible recommendation.
