Here's a clip of Mary, my himalayan poof-aloof. Lost her in 2017 but I still think about her often.

OK #Linux community, listen up.

MS have done it again and people are looking for a way out.

DON'T TREAT NEWBIES LIKE SHIT.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR HAVING PROBLEMS.

DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO "GOOGLE IT" WHEN THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT TO SEARCH FOR, OR HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS THEY'D FIND.

DON'T BE A DICK.

@PurpleJillybeans - and remember, most computer users by far have neither intention nor desire to become IT specialists, programmers, developers or sysadmins - they just need a tool for living in a digital world. Just like every driver doesn't also have to be an auto mechanic.

@PurpleJillybeans and also all what google will tell them is some AI hallucinated shit.

@PurpleJillybeans hah, thank you.

I have thought about switching to Linux again and again...

But looking from the outside it seems like Linux users have Linux as a hobby...

But I don't have the time or energy to dive into another hobby...

Especially one that would (at least initially?) impair my other hobbies that are dependent on certain software... And my actual work (because I need my computer for my teaching job).

So, yeah. What you write is highly appreciated.

And it shows again: Just because someone is good at something, they aren't necessarily a good teacher for it.

Lester, master of "that can't possibly be comfortable" sleep positions. #tuxedocat #catsofmastodon

A tuxedo cat with a pink nose and toe beans awkwardly flopped over sideways on a grey futon, which is covered in white cat hair. A package of multicolored foam tiles is visible in the background.

I'm still struck sometimes by just how amazingly soft Maya's fur is.

A black cat sitting on a blue canvas shopping bag below a windowsill. She is facing the camera with her yellow-green eyes, and her tail is curled loosely around the right side of her body.

What's Lester dreaming about? Food? Killing stuff? Snuggles? Sleep?

I wouldn't put it past a cat to dream about sleep.

A tuxedo cat laying on his side on a bed, back towards the camera. He is beside a folded blanket with his feet stuck out slightly to press against it.

She finally came out from her hiding spot, but only after forcing us to reschedule her vet appointment. Probably for the better anyway given how crummy the weather was today. #blackcat #catsofmastodon

A black cat laying down on the back of a couch with her hind legs outstretched.

He fell asleep on my leg like this. He's twitching and making little mrrr noises in his sleep 🖤🤍 #tuxedocat #catsofmastodon

A tuxedo cat laying sideways on my leg. A computer monitor, wireless mouse, glasses case, stack of Wii U games, and Switch and Wii U pro controllers are visible in the background.
