When I'm on my day job's Windows 11 laptop (Thinkpad T14 with AMD Ryzen Pro 5), I run gVim with this very nice font, Cascadia Mono.

Just a trio of cats lying around. Stripey (mom), Elton and Plato (daughters).

Here are some photos of the Orange Crush 12 guitar amplifier that I found on the street a week or so ago.

It has a surprisingly good sound. You can get a very good jazz tone without a lot of effort. The controls are very responsive.

For now I put the cover on my Roland Cube 60 and am using this amp instead. Today I found an AC power cord for it on the street (with a broken TV that I didn't take).

I found an Orange 12 guitar amplifier on the street. It is rated at 12 watts, solid state, and has a 6-inch speaker.

They retail for $120.

I did have to add a standard power cord. It sounds pretty good. I might set the 1980s Roland Cube 60 (orange in color!) aside for a while.

It's easy to get a nice, clean tone, which is what I look for.

(Photo is generic, but it looks the same)

Things I'm noticing so far:

* There is a fairly critical icon that is missing. You can see where it is supposed to appear in this screen shot of the upper left portion of the terminal window

* The Deja Dup Flatpak works! In Fedora Kinoite, there is nothing I could do to get the backup utility to "find" my USB-connected backup drive. I'm doing a backup right now.

I just made an Erlang GUI "Hello World" in a Fedora 41 Toolbox.

$ toolbox create erlang

$ toolbox enter erlang

$ sudo dnf install erlang

$ erl -smp

1> wx:new().
{wx_ref,0,wx,[]}

2> M = wxMessageDialog:new(wx:null(), "Hello World").
{wx_ref,35,wxMessageDialog,[]}

3> wxMessageDialog:showModal(M).
