Oh hi, this is me too. Since 1.0alpha ;)

“Perfect is the enemy of good enough” is one of my favourites.

You are clever. I like you.

Based on the bark debris around it this morning, she is definitely using it immediately.

Glass has a side effect of requiring the top to be actually flat. I used the rotary sander to chew down enough of the surface to get rid of the chainsaw marks (60 grit, then 220), but it certainly isn’t level or flat.

Good suggestion though. If we end up doing a version two. Probably could go with a narrower log and centre mount a wider flat glass surface. Make it removable so we could replace the log after the cat shreds it up too much…

This is an experiment – if she prefers this over the couch, we may strategically locate a few before re-covering the couch. But ideally they double as end tables, so the top should be “finished” somehow.

Their website speaks corporatese. Not immediately clear what their business model is.

“read as” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Most scholars say they were written well after the fact (decades to generations after), after a bunch of oral tradition related changes crept in. Plus, they were sort of down selected from a much larger corpus.

So this is just a narrative technique rather than an actual eyewitness account.

It’s basically a zombie death cult. This powerful necromancer has to die to become a lich, releasing his soul into a phylactery which happens to be the souls of his believers (and making it really hard to destroy his phylactery). Then his believers are promised that they will come back as undead, as a reward for carrying a part of this “holy ghost” phylactery. What a racket.

I sometimes refer to my cat, endearingly, as “Little Miss Poopy Bumhole”. She doesn’t take the hint.

I would like her even more after that.

I have to cycle on and off of coffee for it to be effective. If I just drink it nonstop, I get tolerance issues and it stops being effective. Also, it gets harder to have restful sleep.

The problem is choosing the three days I need to cycle off, since I’ll want to sleep 12 hours a day on those days. Then I need to trudge through the following week avoiding cravings, but at least I’m sleeping well.

When cycling back on, a single cup is so very effective.

The list is great! But it doesn’t really tell us which ones are actively developed. Running historical DEs is fun sometimes. For example, LXDE doesn’t really see a lot of development compared to its successor, LXQt. But once again shows the the Arch Wiki is the best ;)

I guess people do occasionally compile KDE 1.x just to see if it still runs on modern systems (it does, but obviously some underlying things have changed over the years, like the audio and graphics stacks). But that isn’t the same as being actively developed :)

Someone enlighten me. How many active desktop projects are there currently? (Not just window managers…)

KDE Plasma, Trinity (is it active? Fork of KDE 3.5)

Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon (fork all the things!), or “reskins” like Unity or Budgie?

LXQt, Xfce… Is enlightenment still active as a project?

Does anyone use Deepin – appears to be a partial fork of KDE (kwin, etc.) with new desktop environment built around it rather than use Plasma.

Or Pantheon (Vala+GTK3?).

Cosmic is from the ground up, recent and active I guess.

Missing anything?

Connect saves drafts transparently as you move around the app.

CSS3 and HTML. Not quite as simple as an easy tag, but you can party like it is 1999.

There’s also reddit sub, r/cozyfantasy – not enough traction on Lemmy yet to have an equivalent. Maybe soon :)

View from the other side. We recently advertised for an Electronics Technician. Our primary posting was on the Gov of Canada jobbank. We linked to it from LinkedIn trying to drive people to the posting that had actual instructions.

What LinkedIn did instead was start accepting applications on our behalf entirely without prompting. Furthermore, we weren’t aware we were getting applications there until we got a message from LinkedIn telling us that we had reached our cap and would have to pay some premium to allow more applicants. The hell…

Also, other sites like indeed.com and such harvested it and were accepting applications, even though we don’t have accounts there and cannot receive the applications.

What do you think this looks like as a job seeker? You just get silence on these applications and think you’re doing everything right, but really the websites are just trying to hold your eyeballs there and don’t actually care if you get a job at all.

Unless the job says something like “we are only accepting applicants via LinkedIn”, assume that your resume is going to a black hole there.

Anyway, we just sent an offer to someone who applied using the instructions we gave on our initial posting on the job bank.

There’s a subgenre in sci Fi and fantasy called “cozy”. Which is basically the above comic, but in spaaaace or similar. Nothing happens. No one gets hurt or upset. But it’s still transporting you into a different world for a moment. I kind of love it :)

Set this comic in space and it would be popular haha.

It’s really important to know about the proper preparation of Captain Crunch though
