I'll stick with the about:config menu thanks, if I have to use FF. Or use Librewolf instead.

Anyway, what big new features are coming to Firefox that AREN'T AI?... anything? *Crickets*

I was introduced to SVN and used it for over five years before I ever encountered GIT. That gave me an advantage in that I understood most of what GIT was doing (except rebase) even though the flow was a little different. I also prefer to use a UI for interacting with GIT over doing it from the command line.

this reminds me situation with CCleaner where hackers replaced download installation file and for few days people were downloading fake malware version of application.

breachspot.com/news/cyber-atta…

Such events show how important is security of servers where popular open source and free applications are stored.
Would be great if some anti hack/malware companies offered free options for FOSS developers. Or maybe they already provide and I'm not aware about it.

Well this is disappointing.

Adobe Is Ruthlessly Killing Off Software That Animators Around The World Are Using Every Day


On a page morbidly-titled "End of Life FAQ", the company writes:

Adobe Animate will no longer be available to download for new customers, beginning March 1, 2026. Enterprise customers can access the application, download their content, and receive technical support until March 1, 2029. For all other customers, technical support, application access, and the ability to download content will be available until March 1, 2027.

in reply to Muse

I left Aldus just before they got bought by Adobe. Not because of that, but anyway I never was much of an artist so never got to fall in love with Illustrator, and never really liked much of their other stuff. Nowadays Software-Ass, A Service? just fills me with rage.
in reply to Muse

I don't need to love software. I need to get whatever is in the circus going on inside my thick skull out into some representation of reality in an orderly procedural fashion that doesn't include dealing with software defects


Hello brains trust!

My fairy wand as the Wattle Fairy Godmother is more of a walking stick. It is both cute and badass! Don't mess with fairies with big wands! hehehe!

For seven years the ceramic bird glued to the top has held steady. Last year it came off. I asked people what to use in order to re-attach it. A particular glue was suggested as being extra tough. It was a two-step thingo. It lasted one day at the festival for which I needed it, but by late afternoon, someone pointed out that my bird was hanging by a gooey thread. So, I removed her before she could fall off and possibly break.

Does anyone here have any ideas how I can attach a ceramic bird to a rubber cap on a wooden staff?

in reply to Muse

I have a memory of hearing that people have used Ocotillo to make fences. I suppose, by using plate armor gauntlets to handle them. Anyway something like Willow sticks, the fences root in the soil and you have a living "barbed wire" barrier.
in reply to Muse

Attempts are made to use primroses for a similar barrier. I hate trying to clear up after that, raspberries and locust too. Not a pretty. Spanish bayonet is also a fun one for the unaware.


Muse reshared this.

• It would also disenfranchise members of the military who may not be able to return home to register or
update their registration in person ahead of an election.

AND US expatriates! We are still citizens! We just live abroad.

You ever been so mad you just want to sleep Immediately so you can go back to being depressed instead?

Its more manageable than seething


in reply to It's FOSS

the GNU project is the biggest bunch of complete whackjobs ever to churn out a halfway viable open source product, and just based on their general philosophy and approach towards software developers who are not themselves, even if HURD wasn't a complete joke i wouldn't use anything they had made if i had a choice

Look who's looking towards Linux for inspiration. 🙃

Good good. Let's have more people getting used to using the terminal... Then let's show them Arch linux.

dumb clickbait-y title, TLDR Microsoft PowerToys, which is not built into Windows, has a Spotlight search tool, so does MacOS and some Linux DEs (I can't remember which ones)


i think that 99% of insults are pure projection.

the names people call you are the things they fear in themselves.

in reply to Shane

I don't know. I didn't think so until I read your post, and then I started to hope it. It is a nice idea, to think we can be nice to ourselves too.
in reply to Fionnáin

@ephemeral

ah, well...that is something i struggle with, tbh. being nice to myself, i mean. i'm learning, but there's a lot of unlearning to do first & a lot of letting go.

may we all find that harmony and that peace 😀
