Why are you wondering? It says it's the better coffee right on the bag! If you can't trust the bag, then I want out of this timeline.

Thank you! That's just what I wanted. Searching on "pointer" wasn't getting me anywhere. To me, I think a cursor is a little vertical line blinking in a line of text or at the command line. You can move a cursor with the mouse pointer. I guess it's also what we call the mouse pointer.

Peachymist, does that help you, too?

I have Play Store notifications turned off, and yesterday, after I ended a phone call, Google asked me to rate the Phone app in the Play Store. WTF?

I want my phone to stop interrupting me.

So apparently that story about AI was an april fool’s joke. The one about it existing.

I don't want to vote for Gavin Newsom. Please, Democrats, don't nominate this guy. He's a money-grubbing opportunist pretending to be a centrist Democrat. I want a real progressive candidate!

CA has a law that VC firms have to collect and report data on the companies they boost. The data were to be gathered by the state and published, after being anonymized. These rich guys leaned on the governor and, to quote Wired magazine, "After investors appealed to the governor, California again delayed the deadline for venture firms to disclose the demographics of startup founders they back."

Justice delayed is justice denied.

I guess there is maybe one good thing about this-- at least some venture capitalists think it would be shameful to appear racist and sexist. This is a long, long, way from ending racism and sexism in investing, but it's a start.

anyone knows how to make your own custom cursor in linux mint cinnamon? i have some gif files that i would like to use but no idea how to

@peachymist

I'd like to make my mouse pointer larger in Linuxmint. Maybe we'll both learn how.

@PatrickoftheG

Yeah, me too. I saw a TV show set in DC (where I live now) and the forest was completely wrong. It works the other way, too. In Knives Out they had to have been on location because the forest looked exactly like Massachusetts (where I grew up) forest. I was pleased.

My phone camera allows me to see lots of things that I miss with my eyes. The big clump of bright green moss caught my eye, and only looking at the photo later did I see the darker clumps of moss that are sprouting sporophytes.

slide them over to the sink, or to the edge of the counter where you hold a large bowl beneath.
