  • PopOS for me. I have played around with Linux in the past, but never seriously dived into it. The whole Windows 11 Recall fracas changed that. I went with Pop because it’s an out-of-the-box distro. Everything just works, and it has Nvidia and AMD graphics support baked in. I used to not like Gnome, but it’s kinda growing on me now. Then again, that’s the beauty of this OS: Don’t like the desktop environment? Download a new one from a bunch of alternatives. Current distro not floating your boat? Make some bootable USB drives of different distros and take them for a test run.

    It’s a beautiful thing.












  • I’ll throw in a recommendation for Notesnook. It’s available on all platforms, syncs across devices, is e2e encrypted, handles tables, and you can organize notes via notebooks, If you need to get a bit more granular, you can subdivide notebooks via topics. It also handles markdown. I pay around $5.00/month for a pro account, and am getting more than my money’s worth.









  • I’ve been on staycation, and it’s been great. Mornings here have been in the mid to high 50s, and the morning sunlight is getting that hint of Autumn gold to it. I am more than ready for Fall. Going to get some organization projects done around the apartment. Might even start up some writing again. It’s more for my own entertainment, really. I don’t have the executive function to sit down and write a book in any semblance of a disciplined manner.

    I just read down into the comments and see there are some of us struggling with identity issues. My sincerest hope for you is that you find your happiness, whatever form that may take. Please take care of yourselves. 🙏 🕉️




  • Wow. This is a lot.

    First off, I want to thank all the devs, admins, and mods, for all the time they have put in on Beehaw. I cannot even begin to fathom what you folks go through and the time you have put in to give us this space. All I can give you is a few bucks and my heartfelt appreciation.

    Now to the heart of the matter (now I’ve got that Don Henley tune in my head.): If the developers of Lemmy are not serious about mod tools, then yeah, time to book. Moderation is kind of a no-brainer when it comes to running a successful community, especially one built on the vision and values established here at Beehaw. If we have to go with a non-FOSS solution for a bit, I’m down, as long as the spirit of this space remains intact. That is non-negotiable to me. I’m so done with mainstream social media, that if anything happened to this space, I’d just settle for my Firefish account, and just be done with everything else. Hell, I may just retreat to Discord where a bunch of my gaming buddies are.

    But as long as long as Beehaw exists in some form, I’m there.
