Super elegant Canada Day meal while Bertie looks on jealously. 😀🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Krita, Tablets, Rick Gervais, and Facemasks Oh My :-)

It's been too hot, I've been too lazy, and it's been too long since our last visit to the park.
Not everyone's taste for sure, but holy hell I enjoyed that way more than I expected to.
Making banana bread for my dad since apparently he's like me and really doesn't need or want anything for Fathers Day. Except a visit from his granddaughter and possibly some banana bread. 😀

Learning three new things at the same time isn't wise. In fact it's frustrating, tedious, maddening... and fun. :-) Hooray for YouTube and #Krita !! This is so frickin' horrible but I'm proud of it anyway. LOL
So many things to learn about #drawing, #krita, and using a #wacom tablet! It's so challenging. Kudos to people who make this look effortless on YouTube.
Got this the other day. Just playing around and realizing I don't know how to draw. :-). Works out of the box in Ubuntu 20.04 too. Nice. Next long term task - learning Krita.

You hear that Google? Bring back G+! ;-)
On a roll during this pandemic. Already more blog posts written in the last two or three months than in all of either 2018 or 2019. :-)
Umm... I'm liking this remote working thing:

RSS never disappeared, it just became a bit forgotten about as people got sucked into proprietary platforms. I have used many different RSS apps and services and have come back to hosting my own (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/news) but Feedly, Inoreader and Tiny Tiny RSS are all good alternatives.

This is the very first PC game that I bought for my very first PC (a 386DX-33). My interest in auto racing was literally built on top of this very game. It was one of those tough games that took real effort to be good at. And for quite a while it blew away other games with more eye-candy but way less realism.
@normandc @randynose - maybe should have used this full link instead:

@normandc @randynose - just a PSA/reminder that there is always: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games where you can reminisce. :-)
Wind River was a surprisingly solid movie:

Count me in that 43%.
I had an issue with snap-packaged software a while ago (related to sandboxing) and now the more I read about it, the more I want to just stick with .deb files. Granted I'm out of the loop on this stuff. I am really liking Ubuntu 20.04 but it bugs me that there doesn't seem to be an overall coherent benefit to snaps and it's now the default. Just sayin'.
