As much as I like #Xfce, posting screenshots of one's desktop, or "ricing" is mostly boring as hell. YMMV. *shrug*
I also _hate_ the term "ricing" as well.

After 20+ years into a relationship, the phrase "grease me up woman!" takes on a whole new meaning.🤣

Looks like #pyenv releases will now be more closely in sync with #CPython releases thanks to some newly implemented automation. That's great news!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen.

#GoodReads was considerate enough to inform me that I have not succeeded in completing my reading goals for 2025 (No shit. Not a great year for sustained focus...:-/)
This also reminds me that I need to get the fuck off of Goodreads(Amazon) and stop using it. It's been crap for years and will, most likely, continue to be so.
About 2(?) years ago I exported all my lists over to #LibraryThing (?); but, I never managed to start using it.Getting off Goodreads seems to be a good little resolution to complete for my New Year.
I don't really consider my reading much of a social activity; but, I do like having a public database of books, and creating some #ReadingLists is useful, to me. Also, the incremental tracking important, since I'm usually in the middle of about 6+ books at a time.
Are there any other applications I might consider besides LibraryThing? Suggestions?

Although it's not mentioned in the "In Popular Culture" section of the article, I first came across the term from the English band Shriekback's "Hapax Legomena" [1983]:

Not that anyone has asked, or cares, about my podunk, backwater processes. There's a few reasons why I haven't migrated my #Python work to use #uv
1. I don't care about performance. My work is done on a potato machine and it won't make much difference, to me. For now.
2. I prefer to keep the VC funded company Astral at arms length, pay attention, and see how the tool development plays out.
3. I actually like watching individual projects like #pyenv #pipx and the rest. How they work as a community, handle bugs and new features.I did the same with the flake8 module projects before I commited to using ruff several years ago. YMMV

Huh. This is a new one.
Somehow, I've managed to pollute my #Python pip userspace with a bunch of packages from a #Poetry project I normally work on.
Fortunately, I could just easily rebuild with #pyenv and #pipx. Just kinda weird that it happened in the first place. I might have to go back to explicitly using `poetry shell` for isolation. *shrug*

Hehe. Dear lord.
Now I'm torn between watching either Five, On the Beach, or fuckin' Threads 🤣

Fell down into a #disco hole thanks to my daughter's rollerskating video and completely forgot that I had this awesome album in my library.

Today I know more about #Python #pyenv shim's fall through to the system default than I did yesterday.
Stumbled upon a problem I didn't realize that I was having. Testing against an older version of an older version(3.11.2 vs 3.11.12) because it wasn't specified in the pyenv global. 🤦 Now I know.
So...I've got that going for me.

CW: politics, USPol, US Politics, rant
Given the choice, I think I would've preferred Marc Fisher over Nick Land/Curtis Yarvin entering the mainstream as an "intellectual" esoteric oddball.
Makes me almost pine for the days when *cough* Jordan Peterson *cough* was the *cough* "Intellectual Dark Web" *gack* poster boy.💀

I had to replace mine last year & settled on an Arris SBG8300.
Aside from a little tinkering with IPv6, it's just been a set-and-forget appliance for me. Our home network is very small(~8 devices); but, there's plenty of room to grow it with this box should the need arise.
I was mainly concerned with it being Xfinity/Comcast compatible for our apt building. Ended up just heading down to our local Best Buy to pick it up.
Good luck!
