No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

I really enjoyed XVI. It is not without its problems but overall is a good addition to the series IMHO. I replayed XV as well after not caring for it on my first playthrough. I ended up really liking it the second time around. The story isn’t the best but the game shines in the personal interactions between the characters while you are wandering around and stuff. A lot of the story is really told indirectly through that and I came to appreciate it. Just my thoughts.

Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

Same. First season was so good and the second season….I don’t even know. I didn’t bother with the rest. I didn’t even know there are 4 seasons. What a shame.

I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

Pop_os. I bought a system76 laptop and that is what came on it. It works well and is no fuss for me. Not a huge gnome fan but c’est la vie. Highly doubt a distro is going to center itself around something like xfce or enlightenment. I have distro hopped for years but for now I am happy with something I don’t have to tinker with all the time.

I was so mad about AB….until Apollo came along

I still can't bring myself to delete it. It just sits there on my phone, all sad.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

I have been very happy with my s76 machine. Keep in mind it is a re-branded cleo, but s76 has put a lot of work into opening the hardware, and making pop work perfectly on the hardware. I have a Gazelle from about 3 years ago now, and have had no problems with it. I ended up purchasing a second laptop for my SO to use (a Galago Pro) which has also been problem free. When the time comes for me to replace this machine I will look to S76 first.

Any questions I'll be happy to answer if I can.
