@ChrisWere Niagara has other icon themes built in, I just like this minimalist look right now. So you can still have coloured icons if that's more your thing. You can have the stock ones too if you like.

@hund

@hund I've been enjoying Niagara launcher. Not quite a minimalist as YAM Launcher it seems, but of a similar ilk and I like the workflow (no app drawer, just a sliding alphabet on the right).

@Conan_Kudo we don't know if Fosstodon will shut down yet - Mike is still considering his options. I'm just saying I won't be a part of it.

@mike

Lots of people have been asking myself and Mike for a statement on the recent drama surrounding Fosstodon. This is **MY** statement.

@ikt not when you have 70mbps internet :(

Um, when did the #Ubuntu image become 6GB???

And the new steed is home!

I haven't read this much bollocks in a long, long time.

@adastra1930 A lot of shared hosting providers are cheap, but pretty rubbish in terms of specs, so sites end up slow. Advantage is that they often come with a web control panel, like cPanel or Plesk to help you manage your sites, DBs, domains, email, files etc.

Ionos offer a free Plesk license with their VPS, which are more powerful than shared hosting, but a similar price. I'd recommend them, it's where I host my sites.

@killyourfm Let me guess, does it start with "well while I'm doing this, I might as well..."

"Quickly switching to the new monitor" has turned into a bit more of a thing. 🤦🏼♂️

@rysiek Yeah, it's fine. But I think the light version of my site is gorgeous. I'd love the dark version to be as nice.

I really hate the dark version of my site. I'm thinking about removing it completely and going light only, but don't want to burn people's retinas at night. I suppose there's always reader mode for them... 🤔

Some thoughts from me about virtue signalling and why I think it's a pointless exercise.

I knew SQLite was a cool project, but this great post show how interesting the project is.

Merry Christmas, Fedi. ❤️

@fribbledom oooo this is such a hard one to answer. I've had a draft "if I could only have X watches..." on my blog for months. I've currently got it down to 5, I'm not sure I could go further than that. Maybe 3 at a real push. Definitely not 1 though.

@fribbledom Thanks! 😊

Yes, you read that right, folks. I've decided to flip myself back to team blue and have ditched my new Pixel 8.
