Ptyxis sending a desktop notification when a long-running command completes (*) is an accessibility feature, and my ADHD ass *highly* appreciates it.
* If a command takes more than like 3 seconds I'll switch desktops to get distracted, and it's not good for my workflow.

A shaft of light burst into his consciousness. He remembered only the restraints, the prick of Montresor’s needle, being colder than he’d ever been in his life.
More light. “Good, you’re awake. Can you walk?” A hand reaching down to aid him.
“For the love of God, Montresor!”
“Yes, for the love of God. Now come with me, I have so much to show you.” He lifted a hatch in the floor.
“Amontillado?” “Better than that!” Under the floor, impossibly, a window, and the stars slowly swinging by.
À Nice, la présence d’un magistrat au meeting de Christian Estrosi interroge
Le juge chargé des premières années d’enquête sur le volet sécuritaire de l’attentat du 14 juillet 2016 était au deuxième rang du lancement de campagne du maire de Nice. De possibles manquements de la mairie sont au cœur des investigations judiciaires. Le magistrat et l’élu n’y voient pas un problème.

I've finally got my flight booked to go to North Carolina for Christmas and beyond.
Waited a bit long, so couldn't get the flight/date I wanted, but I could have gotten a 6:00 AM flight from New York that landed in Greensboro at 11:30 PM after a 14 hour layover in Chicago. Wait, what?

If you have 45 seconds, could you listen to this audio and let me know which of the three clips you think sounds best? (First, second, or third? They're each about 15 seconds.)
I'm fiddling with my audio editing, and I've listened to them so many times I've lost all perspective.
If you could use a peaceful, droney modular + piano performance to relax your mind, here it is. Well done Joep and Maarten, whoever you are!

Today we bring you significantly better scrolling performance in GNOME Calendar's month view. It no longer lags on my PC!
gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… is mostly solved with a combination of Georges' gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… and @TheEvilSkeleton's gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c….
Enjoy it in Nightly, or @gnome 50.
This is why I use a 16-years-old PC as my main development machine: it forces you to solve every performance issue, instead of throwing faster hardware at the problem.

@matt Yes, it's the standard GNOME desktop running on that second-hand Dell Precision T3500 (from 2009), with a second-hand AMD Radeon R9 270 GPU (from 2013). This PC was the main benchmark behind the biggest fixes that happened in gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s… in 2023-2024 (huge thanks to @YaLTeR), and therefore is the reason why GNOME Shell doesn't visibly slow down over time anymore since versions 45-46 and newer.
I'm still looking for volunteers to fix the remainder in gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s… 🤞
Sometimes, when I've left my computer idling (not suspended, just with the screen blank and locked) and come back to it, it is extremely slow.GitLab

A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:
Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?
The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.
But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:
Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.
Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

Anyone interested in #Pixel6a with #GrapheneOS pre-installed? I'm selling mine for 2500 CZK (€100) + shipping.
If you'd like to try GrapheneOS on something cheaper before committing to it with a more expensive phone, this is a great option. It's what I did and happily used the phone for almost a year. It has a surprisingly good camera for the price.

Saturday.
Life is marching on here, although the baby is still all-consuming. I've not been into my home office for longer than 40 seconds since he was born and only now am I sat with a computer here because he's gone to sleep. I spent 3 hours with him strapped to rather than being physically carried by me today, which is small progress.
Still, he's only 8 weeks old today. The landscape will shift again when I *have* to go back to work, when he can sit himself up and so on.
We had to buy a new dishwasher as our faithful one of 10 years died without notice. We're also planning a weekend trip to Malta with the mother-in-law for some Christmas market exploration, which will knock christmas shopping time even further, like the baby's not already done that! It's important to us that we maintain as much of what we've done previously over the holiday season for our older child.
I did get an early Christmas present though; some air pods so I can use my phone less wiredly. It'll be handy for traveling.
@sarahmatthews Thanks!
Not sure quite what I expected after 14 years but it's bloomin' hard work!
he's very cuddly at least!
That #Framework laptop turned out far less durable than I hoped for. After less than two years the battery is swollen and damaged the keyboard in the process. I suspect that a major contributing factor were serious heat issues of this laptop which according to my brief search are “normal.” There are also a few minor defects.
I’m far less inclined to spend more money on Framework hardware now than before they declared their “we don’t do politics” stance. Still, it’s far too early to replace this laptop, so I guess I’m ordering replacements. Luckily, repairing is trivial.
Still: how do I prevent these issues from reoccurring? I guess I’m looking into ways of throttling that CPU on Linux…
