Spooky Beat

The Volt is a PHEV, I think the Bolt is the pure EV. I was considering its Vauxhall badged version years ago as a choice for a company car.

I have an older, second hand Thinkpad Yoga but it has served me really well with Fedora installed on it.

I also have a PineTab 2 but that has been a little bit of a rough start and still doesn’t feel that great as a day to day device just yet

Honesyly I think I prefer the laptop form factor over tablet + smart cover. Even my old Android Asus Transformer I used almost exclusively in laptop mode to do anything productive.

Can confirm that the mach 70+ winds are so strong that it strips the flesh from the bone.

A Nikon D3200 I’ve had for year I like using for nice landscape pictures and portraits but I used to use it as just my ‘everything’ camera - a role now taken by my phone.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W12. This was my first digital camera and used to go absolutely everywhere with me. These days it still gets used but purely as an underwater camera for scuba diving as I have an underwater case for it.

I picked up one of those Mavicas in a car boot sale years ago, its remarkable how far things have come.

My father died

I saw the thumbnail and thought it was a pic of Joey Jordison from when he was in Murderdolls…

So you can keep Kitty, just swap the shell you have it start by default (probably not a good idea to swap to this system-wide)

But Kitty is ‘just’ the emulator right? It doesn’t have a shell by itself.

Willing to give this a go. My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get which works well but seems susceptible to issues when changes in the software it lists causes it to break and whilst the fix itself is usually made pretty quickly, it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software). If this is a viable replacement for it then i’d love to start using it.

I knew somebody who used the more British version in a game - Hugh Jarse

I’ve just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I’ve just given up on it.

Might fall foul of your ‘not too heavy’ politics requirement but I love my Private Eye subscription.

My favourite cuisines I’ve had which were not common ones you can just find on any high street here were mostly found during the height of covid when I was working quite a way from home but the hotel’s restaurant was closed so I had to order delivery each night.

• Nigerian: Ordered this a few times, peppersoup, moin moin, draw soup, eba amongst the things I had. Soon after a West African section opened in my local supermarket so I could at least get some of the main ingredients to cook some at home.
• Ethiopian: Amazing, not tried cooking any yet, some ingredients seem hard to come by
• Afghan: Had a bunch of times as there was a restaurant in my town
• Sri Lankan: Love it, superficially similar to Indian food but I was surprised just how different it was and has become one of my favourites that I cook at home with regularity.

Mandatory breath tests at the gate with additional fees to pay for every 0.01% over a certain limit (but if you pay up front you can get as pissed as you like)

Just straight up scranning some homemade kimchi

Pulsar is a fork of Atom under active development. We don’t publish a flatpak (yet) but there is a community maintained flatpak for it.

Otherwise if you want to look at something else I’d give Lite XL, Lapce or even Zed (it has now been open sourced and looks like it has a flatpak available) a look as interesting alternatives.

Pulsar is the current maintained fork of that project, we forked it before it got shut down and are actively developing it,

Yes and no. The original project is dead but we forked it and continue to maintain and improve it as Pulsar
