I’ve only grown grain for my cats…rye is an excellent catgrass.

I’ve got our lettuces, onions, and various cole crops started and planted!

I need to get started on the rest of what I’ll be growing this year…I haven’t gotten any garlic or potatoes started, ehh…

Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

I feel somewhat fascinated by this article, mostly due to the pictures. Look at this:

I find it fascinating how it’s clearly a man and a woman, despite it being an ancient carving.

Or this one:

.

How many centuries old is it? Describe it as a hippopotamus goddess, and most modern humans will be like ‘yeah, that tracks.’

You have an obligation to protect the Earth! I suspect many of us will make popular and correct but extremely cool and illegal choices in the near future.

Re-reading the article, I understand the poor soul probably ate carrion that was shot with lead. I think my comment still stands.

It’s a bit more than a Sigh. Some fucker shot that bird. Perhaps they would like to feel the effects of lead in their gut?

It’s mild and wet in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been in the 40s, mostly. I was hoping it’d be closer to the 50s but NOPE! I started a bunch of plants in February - lettuce, kale, several hundred onions, spinach, carrots, you name it. I transplanted them a week ago during a spat of more normal 50s weather.

I have a good cold frame cover over my raised bed plot, and thank goodness…everything appears to have survived, despite local 30-43F degree weather here. That includes one dip to 31F! I’m super happy! Spring 2025 friends:

• Cilanto

• Carrots

Alligators steal hats all the time?

Holy shit guys, it’s not the wild and out of control global consumption that’s the problem, it’s those mean ole conservationists forcing production to poorer nations. Limitless growth at all costs, right? Certainly can’t discuss producing less so we can protect more biodiversity worldwide - even in less wealthy places.

Howdy! It’s ~40s and wet here in the PNW (with the threat of snow!). There are leeks, chard, and herbs happily chugging along outside.

But the real fun is inside! Earlier this year I built a fun little grow cabinet for a jalepeno, some citrus, and lemongrass. I promptly spent several weeks fighting an aphid infestation.

So now, I have happy little jalapenos growing, as well as some wee little satsumas.

And of course, several hundred LITTLE BABY PLANTS!

I’m getting all the early spring plants going that transplant well - lettuce, kale, arugula, you name it. I’m going to try and grow some carrots inside, we’ll see. Slugs destroyed all mine last year. Also, like 120 onions of different varieties. Geez!

She’ll bloody cut you, she will.

Okay, then yes - I can see it all! I can see the title post, AND the 9 panel shows up. Clicking the link also loads the picture in Boost.

Wait, I’m confused. About something. I’ll leave this up so you can look.

Hello, thanks for your ongoing image stuggles~

On Alexanderite, the second comic shows:

However on Boost and the default Lemmy front end it does not:

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”

Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

Oh! A fan of Kat?

Just put Dot as GM, she can keep the brothers in line.

I would tell you to fight me, but I guess I need to add an GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 argument to my KDE Konflict Picker first…
