Simply by chance I found this place.

My entire life I have had a memory from this place, standing by these trees, but I always thought "It must be from a dream, or even a vision of an afterlife, but this cannot be a place on Earth"

I asked my dad & he assured me he took me here when I was 4. You have no idea how much this means to me - I've been searching my entire life in hopes of finding this place again. It's just as calming & meditational now as it was then.

#Photography #Nature #Trees

I’d just like to interject for a moment...

Sure, there are a few #GNU packages that aren't entirely graceful (*cough* glibc *cough*), but not /all/ GNU code is bad!

I'm just saying this because the list at http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/ refers to GNU #Nano as "harmful software" (yes, *Nano!*)

(harmful = bloated)

Also, I guess #Vim is listed as harmful as well?🤔

There comes a point when you're not hating a product because it's bad, but because you don't like the person who made it.

(Next time in "Muto gets triggered over stupid things" ...)

Oh yeah, it's #IDAD (International Day Against DRM) again today.

I don't like DRM.

There - I said it. See you all next year.👍

Reading Dante's Inferno. The first bit (Limbo) is well written, but to be honest it's probably comparable to a modern fanfiction about how "I died and while I was dead David Bowie introduced me to Elvis and Steve Jobs and we became best buds and threw a party"

Ha, ha! I remember talking with someone on Reddit about this, but I never knew they (or someone else) actually went and did it! Pretty hilarious, but I love it nonetheless!

(I mean, I ain't comfortable with giving my money to anyone who isn't directly related to the Hurd's development, it's the idea I like)

#Hurd

Ah! I can't gasp hard enough to express my surprise - #IceCat Quantum has a pre-release you can download & test out!! 💖

(Now you have to specify when you ask me "Do you have ICQ?" 😉)

Re-enabled #LibreJS on #Firefox Quantum and wow! The performance in 7.17 is amazing! And it seems that a lot more websites work with it enabled than before!

Good job, Nathan, Ruben, Nik & other contributors! 💖 👍

The snow is melting so that's nice - we might have an Autumn after all. 🍂

My brother is able to come home for the weekend, so I'm making pumpkin pie & we'll all watch Over the Garden Wall tomorrow (before it snows again)!

#OTGW

I guess my furnace is running...

So, floor pedals might not be the best for inputting keyboard shortcuts since I'm on a standing desk, but what about this USB DDR dancing mat? 🤔

I'll use it only til' the novelty wears out!

I guess qemu-kvm isn't available on GuixSD just yet?

S... Sn... White stuff!

Nooo, Autumn isn't over yet!!

The latest version of #NewPipe works!

I still think about this time when I was a kid and I was like "I didn't really enjoy the Iliad that much..." and some /other/ kid tells me "well that's too bad because the Iliad is objectively an amazing book!"

And it got me thinking...

Is *The Iliad* on **anyone's** "Top 10 favourite books" list? I mean really! I'm sure people in 1194 BC found it boring, too!

Still struggling to design a program. It always ends up the same way:

[Writing simple blueprints on paper]
"This interface should be super easy to write down!"

[Sit down at computer, staring at a few lines of something that's trying to be Lisp]
"This piece of paper... Made a lot more sense a few seconds ago."

In other words, I've been having a slow day.

To all you old-timey poets out there:

"O'er" is not a real word, nor does it make the word "over" sound like a single syllable.
