Watched Predator with my oldest son today. He loved it, so we're going to try and work our way through all the Predator and Alien films over the Christmas holidays.
He's a chip off the old block.

One of the most frustrating things about the #Gnome desktop is the lack of continuity with window borders. It seems like every app just does their own thing.
Not sure if that's a thing in other DEs? 🤷🏼♂️
There is no better feeling than the first day of 2 weeks off work. See you in January, work laptop! 🎄
Ah FFS. C'mon, #Mozilla. Can you try and stop effing up #Firefox for 2 damn minutes...

I really want to love #PopOS #Cosmic but there's a bug in the file manager that prevents me from browsing my NAS via SMB. I do that all the time so it's a deal breaker for me. :-(
This just sounds horrendous, but is a perfect example of why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Especially a basket you don't control.
I hope he gets it sorted out.
Watched the Dungeons & Dragons film with my wife and kids.
Utter, utter dog shit. That is except for last 15 minutes or so. That was just mediocre...
💩
Been waiting for the new version of #PopOS with #Cosmic for what seems like ages. Was very tempted by the beta, but now it's fully released I'm gonna be installing it.
Always loved what the team at System76 put out with Pop.

It pisses me off an unholy amount when my kids use "Santa" instead of "Father Christmas". 🎅🏻
We. Are. Not. American.
Recently I've stopped reading entirely, after randomly stopping half way through a Murderbot book.
I need to get back into it...
Utterly thrilled with the #F1 results. Won't say who just in case it spoils it for anyone. But well done, champ!
I've always had a little Colophon at the end of my about page, but decided to give it it's own page and add more detail. If you're interested in how my site is setup, here ya go:
Wife: "Can you hold this why I get some fresh water please?"
Me: "Um, sure...?"
Also me...
The frustrations with #Vivaldi continue. I realised last night after setting it up on my Pixel tablet that syncing doesn't really sync anything other than bookmarks and history. No settings are synced, so I still had to piss about changing my search engine etc.
Also, uBlock Lite can't be installed on my tablet, so I get ads in YouTube. That's enough to make me want to stop using it alone. 🤮
OK, I'm gonna try and give #Vivaldi a fair crack. I've set it as default on my laptop and phone, and will try and use it for the next week or so.
So I spent an hour stripping down this iMac I bought for my son so I could do an 8 > 16gb RAM upgrade. Turns out the bloody RAM is soldered onto the board on this version, despite the listing saying it was compatible with this model. 🤦🏼♂️
Ah well, it's running #UbuntuMate on a fresh SSD like a dream and Minecraft gets ~60 FPS. That's all he cares about.
We've been keeping one of our young hens in a dog crate in the conservatory for the last couple of days.
It's very friendly and likes to sit on my wife's shoulder when she's cleaning them out. Two days ago, the hen decided to peck and eat one of the (very expensive) diamond earrings I bought for my wife after we got married.
So now we wait for her to shit it out.
🤦🏼♂️💩🐔
Been after a cheap computer for my son, so picked up a 2015 21.5" iMac for £80.
Eighty quid! I can't believe it. They used to be so much money! Hopefully it will run #ZorinOS 😳
Did legs and core in my little home gym for the first time in a loooooong time last night. Maybe an 8km walk in the hills with the dogs wasn't a great idea today! 🤣

Le sigh. I've been using #Firefox since 2005, but with the direction they're going maybe it's time for me to hedge my bets and consider pastures new.
