Invoices sent, out of office on until the 5th, bracing walk in the English rolling hills done. Now time to settle down by the log fire. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄🥂

Another fantastic point release for @elementary It’s been rock solid this year even when I go off piste by installing all sorts of packages. Now looking possible to get it installed on Apple Silicon too which is a very attractive proposition for my M1 MacBook Pro #elementaryos #linux

This landed today ready for import. At the time this came out I was a too cool serious DJ so scoffed at it, but the truth is it’s an album full of guilty pleasures #housemusic

Having a wonderfully nostalgic evening by backing up more of my CD collection. Finally ditching Apple Music and using the Linux app combination of K3b & Kid3 to rip and refine the ID3 tags, plus Lollypop as my music library player. Ripping like it’s 2005 😁 #linux #music #solus

One Week Later – Will Affinity Replace Adobe?

Following the announcement from Affinity last week, I’ve gone all in. Seven days of exclusive use, and not just for photography purposes, either.

After 10+ years using Telegram it’s time to say bye bye. Even tho I’ve locked down my privacy settings I can’t shake off the relentless spam messages. As I mainly used it as a side channel for wife chats, we can now move over to the excellent Nextcloud Talk #nextcloud #telegram

Long time user of Firefox cos’ IMHO it’s still the best web browser for reasons, but I’ve recently switched to Zen browser, which is based on Firefox. The way it handles tabbed browsing with split page view has been a chuffing game changer for workflow/productivity 🔥 #firefox #zenbrowser

Down at Pera Business centre where I have my virtual office. There’s now a hot-desk area in the on-site cafe, which means there’s now no excuse to get out for a good coffee and see some real people whilst working.

Elementary OS on a 16” 2019 Apple MacBook Pro? Actually it’s the D.E installed on top of a special version of Ubuntu which includes kernel patches and drivers for Apple’s hardware. Overall it runs really well but pain points include inconsistent booting into the greeter and touchbar #elementaryos

Been power using the Files app on elementary OS 🎨 Using colour tags as a visual task tracker while updating 400+ pages of medical site content. Using Green, Yellow & Red on the files and folders makes it really easy to see what web pages have been updated, in progress, or pending #elementaryos

1st impression of MacOS Tahoe: It’s too round! The control centre menu in the top panel is ugly. Dock icons look blurry. Light mode feels childish, unfinished and unprofessional. Dark mode is sleeker. Lot’s of non-Apple app window frames need updating so cohesion lost. Maybe wait a while to upgrade?

Switched back to a "Chaotic Neutral" monitor layout having been "Neutral Good" since having the two QHD monitors. There's something about #elementaryOS that feels better when the primary display is centred. Plus having the second monitor as portrait lends it's self perfectly for web development

I’ve been holding off using the Wayland session on elementary OS because my favourite colour picking app called Picker wouldn’t work. Just discovered that this has been forked to a new app called Cherrypick which has the XDG thingy to make it work on Wayland, so hurrah for that
