I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

I had completely forgotten about it and would have assumed it was a thing of the past.

Wine + Wayland for sure. It’s time to let X11 rest, it’s earned it.

I use Pop_OS because I really like having so much much GUI control via the keyboard. I’m patiently waiting for Cosmic to update things a bit.

Deja Dup backs my local machines to my Synology NAS. That uses Hyper-backup to send everything to Dropbox.

Most of my machines, including my daily driver, run Linux. I’ve got one old windows laptop that I use (via NoMachine) to run Fusion360 on. And we have a 5+ year old Surface Pro that my wife uses for Dice Maker (a windows only program).

Neither of my old Windows boxes will run 11, so they won’t run 12 either. And I’m oh so broken up about it.

I was 12 when the first Linux kernel was released. Ah, what could have been…

While I don’t think the iphone is over-hyped I’ve started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.

• replaceable battery that lasted 3 days
• headphone jack
• physical keyboard
• fit in shirt pocket
• no bloatware

For example, did you know a release of a new fully open source LLM called OpenLLaMA just got announced by the Researchers at Berkeley AI Research?

Nice. Good to know what all of next month’s doom headlines will all have in common. ;)
