CW: Rant or something like that; on the state of Linux desktop, if nothing else, ostensibly. However you or anyone else use a computer/phone/whatever-else is none of my business and therefore not a hill I would enjoy dying on. If you would like to disagree, you sure can, and that's fine and we're both wrong anyway.
@plutarch I don't understand every term in this rant of yours, but I think I understand enough to recognize why fundamentally we agree on this concept & why so much feels so wrong.
If anything close to sense & safety gets done on my home repair/remodeling effort set, within another 18 months, beyond full recognition of the terms I don't now, I'll have a #Linux or other #OpenSource operating system or systems on a functional desktop computer or 2 in my home, they likely staying in 1 or 2 nooks of my house. On them will be the simplest setups I can find because I too believe computers are tools not lifestyle foci nevermind centers of life.
One of the best features in my old house is the plaster walls, which make wifi signals travel like smoke in a house that's a chimney.... so beyond my directly having the "smart home " feature set removed from their automatic inclusion in the upgrades & rewiring of the house, I enjoy the fact that internet & in turn computer access in my home exists but is & will remain contained.

I got the idea of painting birds on the Garagarchive doors from Pinterest.

Because searching the internet is impossible these days:
In which direction should I lay paving bricks (200x100s) on a slope, to minimise the appearance of the slope?
Should I lay them in the direction of the gradient so they 'blend in' or should I lay them perpendicular to the gradient to counteract it? Or, at a 45 degree angle? 😬
Or should I consider some other factor above all else, like light/reflections or the building orientation? 🤔

Happy Friday, everyone. Hopefully Friday has meaning for most if not all of us. It has extra meaning for me this week. Starting this month my company has changed it’s hybrid work requirements. Where it used to be that we had to be in the office for 20% of each pay period (basically one day each week), as of March 1st we have to be in the office for 40% of each pay period (basically twice per week). Today is my first, second day of a week. None of us our happy with this, but it’s a whole ton better than being back 80%, which is what we had prior to the pandemic shut down. Oh well. I’ll deal with it. I am still coming in every Wednesday. My group has Wednesdays as a mandate and the second day each week is at everyone’s personal discretion. I am sort of planning on making Mondays my regular second day, just to get it over with, but that didn’t work this week due to the contractors working in the kitchen. Friday was the only day that worked for me. Fortunately there was zero traffic today. I made the 40 mile drive to the office in 45 minutes. If only it were like that every morning.
In other news, the kids are on the ground. Bellana’s flight landed in Georgia (the US state, not the European country) before I went to sleep last night. Harry’s first flight landed in London well after I nodded off for the night, and his connecting flight landed in Scotland before I woke up this morning. All is well on both of those fronts. Here’s hoping they both have a great time on their trips.
I am taking advantage of the fact that I am 40 miles from home right now to make my way to IKEA after work. IKEA is about 60 miles from home, but only 20 miles from work. I will head down there as soon as I am free and go to the returns department and bring back a great big pile of stuff that IKEA included in our kitchen redesign blue print that we didn’t end up needing. There is a lot of stuff to return. A lot of stuff. If I get it all done tonight then we don’t have to worry about it, and with the money we get back maybe I’ll be able to afford a hair cut this weekend because damn, do I need a hair cut!
Anyway, here’s today’s photo-a-day picture. I took it before I did my workout this morning at about 5:40am. It’s only 9:14am now but it’s already felt like a long day.

Van lastige draaiknoppen die pijnlijk voor handen en polsen zijn, stroef draaiende kraan naar een soepel bewegende, waterbesparende één handel kraan.
Deze koopjesjaagster heeft deze voor €28 op de kop getikt🙂
