Break's over. The music is calling, so it’s time to get back to work. This is a song-in-progress called “Fool Me Once.”

I didn't expect to fanboy out over a Cards View update that just landed in Beta 126.0b1, but here we are. I LOVE IT! It’s a MAJOR visual improvement, and I’m ridiculously proud of our UX team for landing it.

This also needs to be repeated over and over: our team growth and user growth, all the visual and technical improvements, our increasing sustainability, NONE of it would be possible without the generosity of our donors.

@jnv These are stunning. Do you know if they do 16:9/desktop versions of these?

I just spotted this little praying mantis hanging out in my basil plant… which has never been outside.

Don’t know how it got inside, but I introduced it to the garden. It will undoubtedly have a lot more fun out there!

Garden update: Blossom Edition!

Every day I’m waking up to new life in the garden and I’m constantly amazed at the rapid growth out there.

Pictured here: Purple Emperor Nasturtium, Yukon Gold potato, Red Pride tomato, and Hearts of Gold cantaloupe.

YESSSSS! It’s been a frustrating Monday, but things just got a little brighter. Long live physical media!

@dlove67 that’s certainly a valid thing to be jealous about. I think the last truly awesome collectors edition game I bought on PC was Fallout 4. They’re so rare these days.

Dear ice cream trucks: why do you play songs like “Silent Night” and “When the Saints Go Marching In?”

The top ~50 Google searches are people typing in websites without the .net or .com because they can't remember the full domain name. (Including "google" which is hilarious.)

Is this a sad reflection on society, or proof that we need a more advanced search engine that actually answers questions rather than simply serving up promoted links and SEO-optimized clickbait.

I'm tentatively excited about this rumored ChatGPT search engine, even if I still have reservations about the future of AI.

@s31bz Hey, isn’t that basically the storyline for 3 Body Problem? Lol

The more I think about it, I realize I just want to see Google/Alphabet taken down a few pegs. But the more I think about that, I realize the inevitability of whatever does take down Google eventually becoming another soulless megacorp hell-bent on profits above anything else.

Sigh

I’m gonna go outside.

Essential weekend listening as the weather heats up!

The first time I bought this album, I was 12 years old. I'd heard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on the radio and almost immediately rode my bike to The Wherehouse and spent my hard-earned lawn-mowing money on the cassette. Outside of Pyromania and Hysteria, I didn't really stick with Def Leppard, but this album is absolutely timeless for me.

@mforester @killyourfm The lyric is pure cheese, but yea it’s still a damn awesome song! (My other favorites from this album are “Animal,” “Gods of War” and “Rocket.”

I spotted this sea lion calf in Morro Bay last night and the cuteness was overwhelming. (There were a total of 8 sea lions just lounging on these rocks, only a few feet away from people.)

@bcon several months is too long! Before this trip, I was last here in November of 2023. It has felt like an eternity.

Hope you’re able to go soon.

@tylnesh Hey nice! Herbs aren’t always the easiest to grow. Funny story about my mint: I sowed it in a big grow bag a few weeks. Not a single sprout appeared — but it IS start to pop up in roughly 10 different places in my raised beds 🤣

Also: strawberries are happening!!

This sunflower is NOT messing around. Only 7 weeks ago, this was a seed in the ground. Today it's 5 feet 4 inches tall! (~164cm for my European friends)
