Update.

I adore VLC.

I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.

I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”

That is all.

Followed!

Litigation in 3… 2… 1…

I like it! Feels like cabin-chic.

It’s a tough decision.

There’s a target on the collective back of Lemmy, its developers and this instance. Rooting out these issues early is part of it. One of my first recommendations to @ruud@lemmy.world was to start putting aside contribution dollars from donors for a legal fund to manage liabilities like this. This decision is just solid management and avoiding issues well ahead of time.

I wish the admins well. And for those who have had their communities ‘snipped’ from being connected to Lemmy.world, I hear you. It’s hard when you have built a connection and a sense of self on a platform, and then it becomes severed. That’s hard.

Oof.

Sadly, no. Just got the regular lips, Mr. Blott!

I noticed you switched from having vertical side monitors to horizontal.

I did switch! I used the vertical monitor for Slack and other notification/messaging tools (and for my tasks tracker tools and Kanban boards)… and when I added the above-mounted monitor, I noticed I was shifting the same windows upwards rather than to the vertically mounted screens I was using.

So I’m testing it out and enjoying the switch. However, I might switch back at one point as I do a lot of documents in my daily workflow, and the vertical monitors help with the editing process.

Oh dear. It… was an older laptop, and through the pandemic it became clear that I needed a substantial upgrade. You’re quite right that the laptop wasn’t able to keep up! 😂

Thanks, Jet! That… makes me feel a smidgen better about it. 😅

The Pixel buds also charge on the stand right?

Yes.

Or is it just so you can charge both phone and the buds at the same time?

Exactly!

I have banned my cell from my bedroom, so each night I place my phone and my earbuds in one spot on the desk. Also, I leave my phone docked on the Pixel Stand during the day and work hours, which lets it double as a bit of a digital display and control for music/podcasts.

Oh, man.

It’d be March 2020 for me.

See below for picture.

If you’d like to see my setup journey, I shared my path on Mastodon.

Below was March 2020:

You can view the progress here and the OP without mood lighting here.

Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️

Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…

Oh yeah.

This is going on the fridge…

Good bot.

Here are my humble three submissions!

The first is a bit of a mashup, mixing the proverbial light bulbs that go off in community threads and has a lemmy with full cheeks (probably after eating… a little too much!). Also, it looks like an ice cream cone. It’s a bit more pop-art.

Only the finest content will do: the second one has a bit more of a ‘fine dining’ aesthetic, where users engage online in a sophisticated, gentle-lemmy manner. Its nose is tipped upwards, as if looking down on lesser memes.

The third one is more attached to your sought-after design. I attempted to channel the similar Fediverse art style, while keeping it simple enough for an app logo.
