Things that are really fun to play and are deceptively difficult: the Super Mario Brothers 2 theme bassline at 185 bpm. Things that have killed my fingers today: also the SMB2 theme bassline...

If your are on Firefox and your are tired of the narrow ass scrollbar go to settings and enable "Always show scrollbars" then in about:config set widget.non-native-theme.enabled to true then set widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override to 15-40.

the good news is yesterday i got half of our giant hedge trimmed before the battery died on the trimmer (seems to be a theme)
the bad news is, just before the battery died, my back tweaked.
I took some relaxants and it was ok last night, but this morning the muscles are very guarded. Full up on Tylenol back pain and Advil.

just spent an hour troubleshooting why my grub2 theme wasn't showing
it ended up being that the path to the theme config was wrong

Thinking about dark/light mode pickers that have three options: Auto/Dark/Light.
If the default is “Auto” — in what scenario might someone want to move away from Auto (which would visually be a noop to the same theme?)
I’m using Light mode as my system preference, but it seems unlikely that I would swap from Auto (Light mode) to Light mode (not Auto) on a specific site

For some reason I had the Golden girls theme spinning around in my head. Only the 'friend and a confidant' part - in tune, and had to search the web to figure out what I was singing, so maybe I heard it somewhere?

There exists the concept of "Twin Films".
Movies that were released around the same time with similar theme ("Armageddon"/"Deep Impact" - "Bugs Life"/"Antz")
Sometimes this happens on Youtube as well.
With just a couple days apart, Strange Aeons and Nick Robinson released a video on "Rawr XD" and "XD".
Love it when that happens.

so apparently in Firefox your theme choice affects whether dark mode on the OS actually influences dark mode on websites.
The right theme is "System theme - auto”.

Went to quilt club today. Its amazing how a little bit of time being creative, with genuinely kind and nice people can really make you feel good. This quilt is being donated to a soup kitchen. Next month we are making lap quilts for hospice.

Okay, I'm done with the SMB2 theme for the time being. Got the chords annotated, tweaked a bit of the tab to make it easier.

Day 28: Samira Ahmed
As foreshadowed, we're back to YA land, which represents a lot of what I've been enjoying from the library lately.
I've read "Hollow Fires", "This Book Won't Burn", and "Love, Hate, and other Filters" by Ahmed, along with "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" which is quite different. All four are teen ~romances with interesting things to say about racism & growing up as a South Asian Muslim, but whereas the first three are set in small-town Indiana, the third is set in France and includes a historical fiction angle involving Dumas and a hypothetical Muslim woman who was (in this telling) the inspiration for several Lord Byron poems.
Ahmed's novels all include a strong and overt theme of social justice, and it's refreshing to see an author not try to wade around the topic or ignore it. Her romances are complex, with imperfect protagonists and endings that aren't always "happily ever after" although they're satisfying and believable.
My library has a plethora of similar authors I've been enjoying, including Adiba Jaigirdar (who appeared earlier in this list), Sabaa Tahir ("All my Rage" is fantastic but I'm less of a fan of her fantasy stuff), Sabina Khan ("The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali"), and Randa Abdel-Fattah ("Does My Head Look Big In This?"; from an earlier era). Ahmed gets the spot here because I really like her politics and the way she works them into her writing. Her characters are unapologetic advocates against things like book bans, and Ahmed doesn't second-guess them or try to make things more palatable for those who want to ban books (or whatever). Her historical fiction in "Mad..." is also really cool in terms of "huh that could actually totally be true" and grappling with literary sexism from ages past.

@… draw for me a picture of the theme official document and make it futuristic and with a tone of neon blue light

When you get that opacity and Gruvbox theme working in Wezterm (wezterm.lua).
Pushing my luck here, but it looks to turn out as a great day.

I wrote off Linkin Park in high school as cynically packaged, manufactured angst with cringey lyrics, on top of musically uninteresting riffs and progressions, even for popular music (lots of boring consonance and repetitive drones on perfect intervals, the Halloween theme called and wants its gimmick back, etc.).
With 25 years of hindsight I think I was a little too harsh. It's still mostly not my bag but I see now what other people see in Chester Bennington's vocals, and &quo…

I'm not a proponent of software stores, but whilst updating FreeBSD KDE (in the cli) tonight a notification from Discover popped up about updates.
And, to my surprise, it showed all available updates: FreeBSD base, FreeBSD packages, like micro, obviously KDE applications, as well as an update for the theme I'm using.
Never seen that before on Linux, wonder if that's a FreeBSD specific thing 🤔
Either way it looks like the software store is finally reaching full pote…
