@tpheine asked it to paint the chimney wall ${colour} and render an image.

Using ChatGPT to render images of our living room with different paint colours on the walls, before we go to the store to actually buy the paint. I think this is an acceptable use case for ChatGPT. I like sage.

@jezra haha, that’s nuts!

@megaslippers I'll sleep when I'm dead, or when GNOME says I can.

I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my laptop, but not as much as GNOME would lead you to believe.

@biglesp I do remember, yes. Blimey, how many years ago?

@caolan exactly. that's why I want someone else to have built this and handle it. "Write my own sync system" (even if it's mostly likely to be just "push from the client") is fraught with edge cases and occasional problems and, having done it before, I'm not doing it again :)

Typing this on a £60 Xiaomi Redmi A3 device that I purchased from Argos. It’s not going to replace my current phone (iPhone 11) but I was interested to see how a cheap Android device performs and what it provides for the money. Long story short, it’s actually a usable device, which is a pleasant surprise. £60 to play around with Android, before deciding to drop iOS and purchase a premium device is an acceptable cost to me. Also, £60!

One of my least favourite tasks is wrestling with HTML email templates. I recently spent some time working on what I thought was a nice and attractive email template. It worked really well with the email clients and devices I tested it on, then it got delivered to Classic Outlook on Windows 10/11 and BOOM! Everything fell apart. Apparently, Classic Outlook is going to be around until 2029. I think I'll just stick to using plain text email templates until then.

Daily driver (Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3) upgraded to Fedora 42. No issues to speak of. I love that I can do a release upgrade and then just get on with my day. Perfect.

Upgraded my secondary machine to Fedora 42. The upgrade was quick and error free. Will do my daily driver next, after I run a few backup routines.

I did not upgrade to Fedora 42 on release day. Maybe tomorrow?

#fedora #linux

@jasonhoss indeed.

Fedora 42 is due for release tomorrow and I’m tempted to upgrade, but 41 is currently rock solid for me, so I’ll probably wait a while before upgrading. Or maybe not.

@basil 🤣

Over the last couple of years, my monitor count has gone from 3 to 2 to 1. I used to enjoy having lots of applications spread across multiple screens in front of me, now enjoy just having the application on screen that I'm actively using. I'm not entirely sure why this happened, maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe it's due to the improved performance of touchpad gestures in GNOME, or a combination of both. Whatever the reason, I'm currently enjoying using a single monitor.

@basil haha!

@nikdoof I like the almond milk too, but ultimately preferred the oat milk. I find that cow's milk now tastes a bit funny. Ruined by oat milk.

I have started using oat milk in my coffee.
