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.

@manawyrm I still have vivid, painful memories of "huge" failed downloads back in the day. I totally forgot that some ISPs billed by the minute!

@manawyrm I was over here using Limewire and Kazaa like a peasant. 😂

@theseal @thunderbird That is incredible!

@AngelaScholder @thunderbird A whole 1 Mbps download speed? Nice! In 2004 I think I had 256kbps down.

@radmin @thunderbird They felt ahead of their time back then (to me, anyway)

@DenJohn HAHA! Ok, I've been known to do that... but this time it was @communiteatime who runs the Thunderbird accounts alongside me.

Wow this intro shouldn't hit so hard.

@jnv it’s perfect. I’d argue it’s slightly better than the original!

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.”

@serebit 100% agree :(

@eliasp WHOA! Today I learned something awesome thanks to you!

@ThePlant I feel like ultimately we can just blame google for this.

@bashfulrobot yea this came up in an earlier reply. It’s awesome! Already started an account and added a few recipes.

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!

The other day I removed some poorly laid paving in the new garden.

Whilst forking it all over in preparation the thought struck me to turn the area into a large bed.

The seeds turned up earlier and have been sown. Now, to wait.

@thewinduppirate Awesome! Would love to see some photos of the space once they sprout and bloom.

Holy bananas, Neon / Plasma 6 is amazing!

That's all. That's the post.

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.

@pikachu_sensei @Linux4Everyone Thanks for watching ❤️

@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 ❤️

@gloriouseggroll DUDE. SCaLE almost turned into “the Mac N’ Cheese eating spree” for me! So, how was this? Good enough to share the recipe?

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

The stunning reward at the end of this morning's Eaton Canyon hike with @linuxflower and the @thunderbird crew. Including very special guest @gloriouseggroll!

16 ice-cold stream crossings to get here, by the way! It was epic, and I enjoyed this adventure -- and the company -- very much.

AWESOME start to SCaLE.

@pink Hey awesome! Glad you enjoyed the hike!
