Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

Goodbye Pixelfed

This is my last post on Pixelfed. All of this rather harsh attitude that the developer of Pixelfed, Daniel Supernault, is dishing out towards the FOSS community is absolutely ridiculous and something I want no part of. As a strong believer and
supporter of FOSS, I can’t stand for it and don’t want to continue to use something built by someone who creates such hostility. You can check out documentation of posts (some of which are deleted now) here: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/. I’ll be moving to Flickr for now. As post has been made on my Mastodon acct.

Dinner from tonight. We went out as a family. I had 3 different enchiladas. They were great!

The image shows a plate of food on a wooden table at a restaurant. The plate contains a serving of mashed potatoes sprinkled with black pepper, a small bowl of baked beans with a spoon, and an enchilada covered in a mix of green and red sauces with melted cheese on top. In the background, there are two glasses filled with a dark soda and ice, each with a straw. There is also a basket of fries and a burger partially visible, along with a small container of a creamy dressing or sauce. Other plates with food and drinks can be seen around the table.

The image shows a living room setup with a TV mounted on a gray wall. The TV is displaying a football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The score is 0 for the Chiefs and 17 for the Eagles, and it is the 2nd quarter with 7 minutes and 3 seconds remaining. Above the TV, there is a decorative wall clock. Below the TV, there is a black entertainment stand with a digital clock showing the time as 6:47 PM on a Sunday, with a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and 39% humidity. On the stand, there is a tray with assorted snacks including cheese, crackers, and salami, as well as a bowl of mixed fruit. There are also framed photos and other decorative items on the stand. To the right, there is a small shelving unit with additional items.

The image shows a cozy indoor scene with a small dog resting on a person's lap. The person is wearing a blue shirt and has their hand gently placed on the dog, which appears to be asleep. The dog is light brown with a fluffy coat. In the background, there is another dog lying on a brown couch, looking towards the camera. A black and white checkered blanket is draped over part of the couch. The setting appears to be a comfortable living room.
