I'm self hosting this, and it works pretty well. It can be integrated with Google Calendar with some effort, and it works with CalDAV (which I'm using through NextCloud).

It's an older meme classification, sir, but it checks out

I've only grown grain for my cats......rye is an excellent catgrass.

I've got our lettuces, onions, and various cole crops started and planted!

I need to get started on the rest of what I'll be growing this year.....I haven't gotten any garlic or potatoes started, ehh.....

that horse ain't right.

I use https://sx.catgirl.cloud/ so I'm already primed to have anime catgirls protecting my webs.

You′re walking in the woods

There's no one around and your phone is dead

Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them

(Written in Rust)

They're following you, about 30 feet back

They get down on all fours and break into a sprint

They're gaining on you

"Written in Rust!"

You're looking for your car but you′re all turned around

They're almost upon you now

And you can see there's blood on their face

My God, there′s blood everywhere!

Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)

They're compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)

Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson.....a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

I feel somewhat fascinated by this article, mostly due to the pictures. Look at this:

I find it fascinating how it's clearly a man and a woman, despite it being an ancient carving.

Or this one:

How many centuries old is it? Describe it as a hippopotamus goddess, and most modern humans will be like 'yeah, that tracks.'

oh, to have a familiar that shares your fashion sense

You have an obligation to protect the Earth! I suspect many of us will make popular and correct but extremely cool and illegal choices in the near future.

Re-reading the article, I understand the poor soul probably ate carrion that was shot with lead. I think my comment still stands.

It's a bit more than a Sigh. Some fucker shot that bird. Perhaps they would like to feel the effects of lead in their gut?

It's mild and wet in the Pacific Northwest. It's been in the 40s, mostly. I was hoping it'd be closer to the 50s but NOPE! I started a bunch of plants in February - lettuce, kale, several hundred onions, spinach, carrots, you name it. I transplanted them a week ago during a spat of more normal 50s weather.

I have a good cold frame cover over my raised bed plot, and thank goodness.....everything appears to have survived, despite local 30-43F degree weather here. That includes one dip to 31F! I'm super happy! Spring 2025 friends:

• Cilanto

• Parsley
• POTAT! 2 KINDS!
• Carrots

• Mustard Greens

I miss you, cupcake...

Welcome to the Fediverse! Thanks for the post, I love your authorial tone!

Surely this one last permutation.....

I will check out Polonium! Thanks!

I know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I've just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it's name. There's also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.
