I wanted to take a moment to send a big huge thanks to @kde for hooking up @thunderbird with a Big Blue Button instance for our Office Hours sessions.

for the win!

I think my garden is turning into a nursery…

(This all started with just one basil plant a few months ago. At this rate I’ll be starting a homestead by next year … 🤣)

@killyourfm The old man is coming out! Soon that backyard will be full of plants and narrow pathways like my father’s! 😂

@jnv I think I LIKE getting old, dammit.

There isn't a single YouTuber covering the Fallout TV series who knows how to properly pronounce "nuclear." Not one.

@killyourfm eXpecially kills me every time too. If you can say « special », you can say « especially ». If you can say « clear » you can say « nuclear ».

Hell, I’m French and I can say these words, and us French are notorious for being horrible at pronunciation, even in our own language.

How is the Fallout TV show this good? I thought video game adaptations (excluding The Last of Us) were supposed to be shit 🤣

@BigAngBlack and who actually are fans of the source material. What an amazing motivator…

Nature is ridiculous! This transformation of the strawberry runners I ordered happened within ONE WEEK. They arrived after being in the mail for 6 days. I just stuck the roots in water for a couple hours, planted them, and voila. Thriving. This will never stop blowing my mind.

@killyourfm I have the same reaction with seeds. You plant these tiny dots in soil & they grow into plants. It's like magic (except it's not!) 🌻

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@Annekin Heh, I know exactly what you mean! When you walk out one morning and see those first sprouts, it’s magical. When you walk out a few days later and see that little sunflower sprout climb to an inch or two, it’s unreal.

I was today years old when I finally noticed this.

Ah, got it. It still hasn't been removed?

@mattmaison Apparently not. I just streamed it on Disney+ today!

Last year the @thunderbird team took ownership of the Thunderbird Flatpak. Today we're announcing that we're helping to maintain the Thunderbird Snap.

Why both formats? Simple: in the spirit of free software, we want to support as many of our users as possible without discriminating on their package preferences.

Read more here, including the benefits of this change: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/04/thundersnap-why-were-helping-maintain-the-thunderbird-snap-on-linux/

@ThePlant@mastodon.social avatar

@killyourfm @thunderbird maybe talk to the Mint team who will be doing their own .deb, perhaps get them to jump in with the Flatpak rather than doing another package themselves?

Garden update: The Detroit Dark Red beets, Red Pride tomatoes, and Butterhead lettuce have all sprouted! The tomatoes are a special surprise because they were only planted 4 days ago!

The tomatoes are sprouting! This growth happened literally overnight -- when I went to bed nothing was peeking out above the soil, and when I woke up they were half a finger high.

Nature is amazing, and is quickly becoming an obsession.

I still adore this screenshot.

Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, blazing fast internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.

Internet access was" limited" by bandwidth, 56k is slow compared to 300 meg download speeds.

Connections could also go sideways, ruining a 600Meg download that took 2 hours, only to be useless.

I have my Mozilla CD-ROM from Firefox 1.0 almost framed 😊

Every recipe online: “Here's a quick and easy recipe for pancakes! But first, a few paragraphs about my personal life and family, followed by 12 paragraphs detailing my entire life history with this food.”

@killyourfm just append the URL of any such recipe to https://cooked.wiki/ to strip out all the BS and provide a nicely rendered view

@killyourfm SEO has done irreparable damage to the Internet.

It’s happening!
(And now the hard part: patience)

Today I’m also putting some sweet potato slips and strawberry runners into the ground. Plus… well a ton of good stuff. Stay tuned!

I've had time to reflect on my experience at and my takeaway is: I sincerely miss being "plugged in" to the community 24/7.

Tracking the amazing developments. Interviewing maintainers. Watching the joy as people discover all the cool corners of a distro they're trying for the 1st time. Having a platform like Forbes and YouTube to broadly share this stuff.

At SCaLE many people told me they miss @Linux4Everyone. I miss it too.

Just feeling conflicted and reflective today.

@mdiluz @Linux4Everyone People like us tend to have so many passions and life can't possibly accommodate them all.

The FOMO is real.

@ReverseModule @Linux4Everyone Thank you for saying that ❤️

Thanks for this @fedora! It’s my new go-to for enjoying some afternoon cold brew coffee. I love it!
