Tootle is pretty nice lil Mastodon client. I don't like having 70 browser tabs open doing things that I can't Alt-Tab between, so I do enjoy a desktop app.

Weird. I found this article about it. Apparently there are some states with laws that make it tough, if not illegal. That is some bogus anti-competition nonsense. Thankfully my state is not on that list. Hopefully it catches on enough to generate public pressure to push back on those rules.

@ajdunevent
Nice! I feel like it's the only reasonable solution. I hope it catches on!

@ChrisWere
So much business. I wish all advertisements were like this. Seriously.

I made a separate facebook account to keep my business page up, though I don't use it much, and closed my account. Don't even know why I was still on there.

@aral
Bummer. Will they reschedule it? I'd like to listen to that conversation.

I sent Firefox some feedback about this.

However, when I installed the Snap version of Firefox from the Ubuntu Software Center, I got the option to install updates when I dang well feel like it. That makes me feel better.

I keep software pretty darn up to date, just don't like being bossed around by my computer!

I don't mind firefox installing updates in the background, but I do mind it hijacking my browser so I can't do anything else till I restart.

Classic computer problems:
Trying to merge and tidy up image files. Can't copy files to external hard drive because there are duplicates with same name that have to be sorted which will take forever to do manually. Can't find and clear out duplicates because software is crashing. Can't transfer all the files to one place via Syncthing because I'm low on disk space. Oh my gosh. I think I'll go have lunch.

I've been using Shotwell, but it lacks a good duplicate finder for images already imported, which GThumb has. Either I missed that feature last time I checked out GThumb, or it's a new addition. Either way, now I'm interested. :)

Researching how to copy image files that have duplicates and choose the larger of the two to keep. I don't feel like it should be hard to do, but no luck yet.

@Trav1sty
Nope. I don't like shopping or crowds, so that's pretty much my nightmare. :)

Have you done that?

I am celebrating Black Friday by drinking coffee, not leaving the house. It's pretty good.

P.S. I'd have selected an "other" category too. I use primarily Mate and XFCE desktops on Ubuntu- and Debian-based distros.

@cassidyjames

Thanks for asking about this. I have been paying attention to light spectrum a lot lately, trying to configure my devices to make them easier on the eyeballs and sleep cycles.

@sugoi
That's the enter key. Guess you need to know the ascii code for space. 😆

Who doesn't need a binary keyboard? It makes me so happy that this exists.

Follow-up: I didn't install Gentoo (one day!), but my Dell Mini 10V runs so great with MXLinux. It's actually a respectable, usable computer. I'm going to use it for writing at the coffee shop.
