They be grace, they be elegance, hey those cats a’ sitting two a’ pence!

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”

Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

Well mySQL certainly is not, I judge this to be a correct statement!

Just put Dot as GM, she can keep the brothers in line.

Hey, my name is on that probe! Good luck with the solar plunge little dude!

I would tell you to fight me, but I guess I need to add an GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 argument to my KDE Konflict Picker first…

I feel like I’ll be reposting this video a lot, but I love ✨ＬＥＡＦ　ＭＯＬＤ✨

In my garden, I took some chicken wire, a few stakes, and made a place for leaves, about 3-4 feet across.

Just like compost, mix it every few days and moisten it to the level of a damp sponge (appropriate for your climate). After a year (yes, a year), you’ll have a pile of broken down organic matter, and a lovely leaf mold environment.

Also, Leaf mold breaks down leaves way faster when you already have a starter pile of it to add to from last year.

…coho on the blowho’?

…I got nothing…

It is…I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain’t very cash money.

There are a couple ‘Other - Please Specify’ fields I definitely filled out with ‘Do not do AI’.

I haven’t seen that before, sounds like a bug report may be in order; maybe first look under the ‘Encryption’ section.

Under ‘Encryption’, check to make sure it shows your password is valid, and see if the number of decrypted items matches your other devices? Also, at one time I managed to have several encryption keys, see if it only lists the one or multiple.

I’ll have a small ambient heater in there, controlled by my home automation system! They are LED lights, so not much heat there. Our house sits around 50-60F usually, so I’m spending a bit of time making sure the insulation is good.

The Long Dark Wet is coming, and I’m setting up in indoor grow zone for the winter. I can’t wait to experiment! I’ll be attempting to keep a couple peppers alive, as well as a dill, some citrus, a lemongrass,and a few other things. Some of these would be fine being dormant in our basement, but that’s no fun!

I get the joke, but with no prior context it’s kind of a jerk move to assume the player already opened it if they asked for a perception OR an investigation. A Mimic would normally just ambush you OR attack when the player opens them. If it was opened it’s probably already attacking, and if it was closed then performing a perception shouldn’t cause initiative until rolled (if the mimic noticed you noticing it, for instance).

I’ll…I’ll crawl back into my dingy nerd tavern now…
