@Aslanmane and @ned , I can't speak for @fu , but I want to recognize while there is plenty of reason to resent exploitative landlords, I trust that is not the situation with you and yours. Landlords can be fair to their tenants, even partners with them; they can take care of and improve their properties and make things better for their communities, not worse. May charity prevail.

@ned @Aslanmane @fu You may want to reconsider whether your suggestion that all landlords are exploitative is fair to the millions of landlords you don't know. Maybe that's been your limited experience. I have a feeling that isn't the last word.

I have tried so many #monospaced #fonts, but I keep coming back to #Inconsolata as pleasant and readable. Latest I tried was the #Monaspace family, but the block "@" sign did them in for me. (Really interesting otherwise though!)

Is #GoogleEarth having a #LeapDay moment?

@fuat2mb What would make any UI "look like... GNU" unless one were copying GNOME? I don't think they're directly copying GNOME, though there are bound to be some similarities.

Who's the target customer for #system76 and #pop_os / #popos ?

I ask because, well, PopOS 24.04 is going to include the new COSMIC desktop environment... and I'm curious whom they're building it for.

No product can be everything for everybody, right?

Writers of Unix history: please write books that get printed on paper.
I love your articles. I can get lost in them. Decades from now, maybe a few short years, they will be irretrievable. We will lose our history if we don't record it as real-world objects.

We have a lot of ripe #avocados. I don't want to turn them all into #guacamole or shakes. Nor just spread on toast. What else can I do with them where the avocado is the star of the show? #cooking

Oh, this is exquisite.

Yes, it is okay to take communion while wearing braces.

PSA: the Ninja blender/food processor blades are the sharpest things on the planet. I've cut myself to the quick three times, drawing blood twice.

I should dull them in the dishwasher just to avoid any further incidents.

My kid loves #blender3d for modeling and animating spaceships. I know very little about it.

Are there any external controllers that would make this nicer, in addition to keyboard/mouse?

If so, I prefer something that works with both Win and Linux.
If not, I'd like to know that too.

Thanks! Please boost?

@tal Any particular recommendation on trackball? Do you prefer trackballs in general, or for Blender specifically?

@fuat2mb There are people here who call it "old Christmas". For me it is Epiphany.

@GrahamDowns I can't belive it's nearly Epiphany!
