I’d really like independent workspaces per display. I haven’t explored how to set it up in my current environments (I use primarily KDE, sometimes Gnome, and still occasionally XFCE). I’m not sure it’s even possible. I understand there’s quite a bit of customization of workspaces coming with Cosmic, but I haven’t checked it out.

I do have some resistance to tiling window managers. Primarily because my wife occasionally uses my computer, and I can already see her rolling her eyes in frustration at me. How’s the learning curve for awesome?

Who discovered this initially? This lemmy thread is the earliest record I’ve been able to find of it.

They did indicate that the subnet they provided in the example was not the actual one they used.

You keep saying I don’t remember, which feels a bit dismissive. I do remember. We just have differing opinions on the barriers to entry for Microsoft vs. FOSS in the 90s.

It kills me that my wife hates cilantro

The people demand your recipe!

Fair enough, but Linux was quite difficult for a normal user to install back in the 90’s. And you could literally destroy your monitor if you didn’t know what you were doing. I was responding to the notion that using FOSS was somehow easier to get into in the 90s than Microsoft products.

Remember when alfalfa sprouts were on all the things? I miss alfalfa sprouts…

Maybe true today, but less true in earlier times (90s and early 2000s) when Microsoft was really gaining dominance.

I may frame this. Poetry.

Shut Up and Sit Down have a great review of crokinole that will make you want to buy or make a board if you don’t have one already.

This is Seersucker Van Zandt, and I’m asking you to go the phone…

So Musk’s salute was really just a demonstration of DOGE’s transparency?

It’s got a pleasant interface and sounds, very easy to just play a casual game against AI or a human opponent. I play against the computer every once in a while for fun. Not much to it, it’s like one-dimensional backgammon, but it’s still somehow satisfying. I’d like to get a decorative set at one point to add to my collection.

Your library may also have streaming services like Kanopy and Hoopla

It’s GPLv3-licensed and they have some pretty easy documented steps for self hosting. Their github page is linked in the article.The per-user cost is for a hosted solution. Which isn’t to say they’re not going to pull something shitty in the future.

Trying to come up with a few that aren’t on the list:

Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) - Just a beautifully touching film, with a unique style and a great cameo of Peter Falk as himself. Much better than the English Language remake (City of Angels)

Come and See (Idi i smotri) - Hard to watch, but an incredible portrayal of the horrors of war. Not a feel-good film at all. But an amazing feat of filmmaking.

My Dinner With Andre - It’s ironic that the movie that Roger Ebert referred to as “entirely devoid of clichés” has become a cliché. I’m not sure how well it’s aged for modern audiences, but I first saw it in the 80’s, have seen it at least a dozen times since, and it still really gets to me. I empathize heavily with both characters in the way that they search for meaning in life, and I could listen to Andre Gregory tell stories all day.

Stop Making Sense - A stellar concert documentary. The first time I saw it was a midnight screening where the audience got up and danced through the whole movie. David Byrne is hypnotic.

The Decline of Western Civilization - Amazing look at the Los Angeles punk rock scene of the early 80’s

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - A classic stage-to-screen adaptation. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton chew the scenery for a few hours while their guests Sandy Dennis and George Segal try to make sense of it all. Amazing acting, great cinematography that really leverages the closeup. A must-see.

The Lion in Winter - Sort of a medieval version of the above with Peter O’ Toole and Katherine Hepburn. Also see a young Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton put on stellar performances. Like Virginia Woolf above, this is acting with a capital A.

The Triplets of Belleville (Les Triplettes de Belleville) - A unique animation style and a unique story. A really fun watch.
