Howdy! It’s ~40s and wet here in the PNW (with the threat of snow!). There are leeks, chard, and herbs happily chugging along outside.

But the real fun is inside! Earlier this year I built a fun little grow cabinet for a jalepeno, some citrus, and lemongrass. I promptly spent several weeks fighting an aphid infestation.

So now, I have happy little jalapenos growing, as well as some wee little satsumas.

And of course, several hundred LITTLE BABY PLANTS!

I’m getting all the early spring plants going that transplant well - lettuce, kale, arugula, you name it. I’m going to try and grow some carrots inside, we’ll see. Slugs destroyed all mine last year. Also, like 120 onions of different varieties. Geez!

That’s cool.

Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!

Sounds like you should get a basic low power linux box going!

Okay, then yes - I can see it all! I can see the title post, AND the 9 panel shows up. Clicking the link also loads the picture in Boost.

Wait, I’m confused. About something. I’ll leave this up so you can look.

Hello, thanks for your ongoing image stuggles~

On Alexanderite, the second comic shows:

However on Boost and the default Lemmy front end it does not:

They be grace, they be elegance, hey those cats a’ sitting two a’ pence!

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”

Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

Well mySQL certainly is not, I judge this to be a correct statement!

Just put Dot as GM, she can keep the brothers in line.

Hey, my name is on that probe! Good luck with the solar plunge little dude!

I would tell you to fight me, but I guess I need to add an GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 argument to my KDE Konflict Picker first…

I feel like I’ll be reposting this video a lot, but I love ✨ＬＥＡＦ　ＭＯＬＤ✨

In my garden, I took some chicken wire, a few stakes, and made a place for leaves, about 3-4 feet across.

Just like compost, mix it every few days and moisten it to the level of a damp sponge (appropriate for your climate). After a year (yes, a year), you’ll have a pile of broken down organic matter, and a lovely leaf mold environment.

Also, Leaf mold breaks down leaves way faster when you already have a starter pile of it to add to from last year.

…coho on the blowho’?

…I got nothing…

It is…I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain’t very cash money.
