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

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?

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

Leicester play away at Manchester Utd tonight in the 4th round of the FA Cup and were given a ticket allocation of 8,000. In protest at the extortionate £50 a ticket that Utd have priced it at, apparently we’ve only taken 1,300 of them. Sticking it to the Man (Utd) #facup #football #lcfc

I made a wallpaper for my elementary OS desktop, which fuses the Early Access and Viktor Forgacs wallpapers, that I call "Early Viktor Blueberry Mash"!
I created it with my dual monitor setup in mind and if it takes your fancy then you can get it here: markjones.cloud/early-viktor...

In the absence of a native one for elementary OS, i've found a cheeky little screen recording app called Kooha on Flathub. It has options for choosing which display/window to record plus audio ones for mic and desktop sounds and it also saves to mp4. #Linux

Great win today and a shot in the arm for the confidence. Gamble paid off with going with a full strength team, it would have backfired if we’d have lost it

Oh wow, that’s one serious law suit that King Power have launched against the helicopter firm, who supplied the chopper that fatally crashed with Vichai on board
