But can also feel heartbreaking. I’m at war with the squirrels and slugs now.

GARDEN UPDATE: Less than two weeks ago I potted up the little tomato seedlings. 12 days later, they are THRIVING!

... gonna have to learn how to preserve tomatoes, make tomato sauce, make salsa...

Six potted tomato plants with young green seedlings on a cloth-covered surface near a window.

@thepoliticalcat And next year, I will probably wait until mid April as well. I jumped the gun with a bunch of seeds and then we got a cold snap. But… I love learning and discovering all this stuff as I go.

@thepoliticalcat Thank you! I've been hardening everything that I potted up (like the tomatoes) but it's not the cold that's decimating the garden. It's the squirrels and slugs.

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!

"Consent Mode is off by default" should be the unofficial motto of the tech industry. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/15/24130832/limitless-ai-pendant-wearable-meetings

@andybaio “it’ll be about AI agents that actually do stuff on your behalf, so Limitless can know everything about you and do everything for you and everything will be amazing.”

Nope. Don’t like that.

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 … 🤣)

@pitch Ah! Those are fabric “grow bags.” Portable, lots of sizes, and great drainage. (A baby blueberry plant is inside)

@deepmud Sometimes I need to thin out seedlings, and I don’t feel good about it. (They do go to the small compost pile, but still…)

@jnv I think I LIKE getting old, dammit.

Started playing Fallout Shelter again. It is addictive being free on many platforms.

@jnv I’m so mad that you reminded me of that game’s existence. Goodbye, productivity.

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

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

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.

I was today years old when I finally noticed this.

@mattmaison An episode of the original X-Men Animated series in the 90s. This is from Part 3 of the Phoenix Saga arc. A little note to the editor that never got removed?

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@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/

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!

Close-up of small green seedlings (Butterhead lettuce) emerging from soil with scattered twigs and dry leaves.

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.

Just pulled this shot and got nostalgic for coffee and linux, you and @schykle made such a great team. I don’t know when I would have time to do this, but it appears that coffeeandlinux domain is available, might pick that up and make it my brain dump for new found obsessions :)

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@justforfun @schykle OK, that's a luscious looking shot of espresso.

And yea, I sincerely miss it as well. For me, the organic conversations are what rocked.

If you end up with that domain, do it justice :D
