That’s really surprising. I’m a regular reader of omgubuntu, and they frequently post about popular gnome extensions. Would I have heard of it outside of this source 🤔 I think probably not. So perhaps I shouldn’t be so surprised.

Strongly agree. Dash to dock is always the first step after a new install.

Thanks for the tip-off. Not heard of it, it will check it out.

The experience of 24.04 feels incomplete and lacking when compared to the well established desktop of 22.04 with their fantastic UX modifications. I don’t recall thinking, I wish 22.04 could do this or that. The 24.04 experience had me wishing for customisation features that don’t exist (last tried two weeks ago).

As an example, I love the 22.04 theming, wouldn’t change a thing. In 24.04, I appreciate that I can set rounded, semi-round or square corners, but I don’t want that applied everywhere. I want my toggle switches rounded and window corners semi-round, like 22.04. I think it just comes down to theming customisations really. I couldn’t increase mouse pointer size either. They all feel like things that can and will probably be fixed/added in future, or by a Cosmic Tweaks type app. I’m not ready to accept it in the current form. Turning my back on the best experience in 22.04 to an unsatisfactory experience is what will keep me on 22.04 for the foreseeable future.

It feels like I’ve enjoyed Coke for years and now somebody is trying to convince me Coke Zero is better. Less sugar is obviously better, but it doesn’t taste the same, it’s not Coke.

I’m not surprised by this at all. I tried 24.04 and found it lacked what attracted me to 22.04. It had some great new features, but overall the 22.04 experience is better. I’ll keep trying it though, still early days.

If my memory serves, Write supported full text justification, but Wordpad only supported left, center and right justification. So any easy win for Write imo.

Used Microsoft Works in the early 2000’s. Only discontinued in 2009 apparently.

I been reading it as “shooflee”, Wikipedia suggests it’s pronounced “shoo-fly” 🤦🏻

Oh no, so what do you propose we do about it?

We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

I’m unsure at what point after expiry it might land at auction, so may not be a useful route at this early stage.

The glass microwave plate melted in the office. Speculation is that somebody removed their food before time was up and left the door open. Later, the door was closed and the microwave resumed and cooked the plate. It wasn’t found until the next morning by which time the glass plate had a hole in it and was cold to touch and no longer an immediate danger.

Those are rookie numbers :-D

I’m using a free web host plan from freehostia (chocolate plan), an SQLite database and a single php file from the github repo below to provide me api access to my database tables. I previously used the web hosts MySQL database.

Create some QR codes or NFC tags for specific medication/seizure events to make logging easy. For visibility you can create some reports and you’ve got yourself a solution.

I use this setup to manage and log my backup tape rotations at work.

I think segregation is the long term plan.
