You mean Auntie's Choice, surely?

This is painful to see...

I was looking at that exact one last night! I think you've just convinced me, thanks!

Hardest part (for my neuro-idiosyncracies) is not rushing, fixating on the end-goal and getting frustrated, then switching to another project entirely and leaving this to moulder. Hopefully acknowledgement and reminding myself of the journey-vs-destination thing helps?

IFF MX can boot then I'll still need to sort the wifi, but extracting from an official recovery image was surprisingly easy (clever people!!).

iGPU by default & dGPU on-demand is the goal, but I'll settle for a mostly working portable Linux box with decent battery life & plenty of USB-C ports.

Haven't gotten far, as installing xfce4 gives me a graphical login but it crashes when we get to the desktop. I've tried to enable the iGPU (force_igd=y in apple_gmux module options) but that just leads to a blank screen.

Taking a break to sit outside and ponder.

First time wearing a suit jacket in an even longer time, and the margin by which the trousers don't fit probably says much about my foundational behaviours, as well as changing corporate norms, in the ensuing decades.

I wish transport technology existed.

So things are pretty good for me personally at the moment, even as other places on this single planet we share face absolutely heartbreaking horrors: war, starvation, genocide, the rise of fascism. In fact, it's the comparison that puts me in this frame of mind.

I hope you're safe and well.

I put a *lot* into my work, but it finally starts to feel like maybe I can take the foot off the gas for a bit ... because I think we have the team that can get it done? I can step up to a higher abstraction and be strategic rather than tactical?

That could be fun?

My treasured OnePlus 9 Pro has failed, so replaced with a Nothing Phone3. The OS is so clean it inspired me to delete most of my contacts, which I'd been data-hoarding, and I'm not rushing to reinstall every app I had before.

Feeling more mindful already.

Beach was fun, although the water was chilly enough to keep sensible people out—only the boy and I swam. Did a little "house" shopping, cushions and more plants, slowly building our tiny haven.

Got some kitchen herbs for the sill today. Hope they survive the sun, and our grazing.
