@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.
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.
@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.
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.
@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 #gardening is quickly becoming an obsession.
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.
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.”
I've had time to reflect on my experience at #scale21x and my takeaway is: I sincerely miss being "plugged in" to the #Linux 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.
