Tofu scramble, although it’s so far diverged from “standard” tofu scramble I’m not sure if I’d even call it that anymore. Basically, it’s crumbled tofu (firm or extra firm), fried potatoes (hash brown style), olives, bell peppers, onions, and tomato all thrown in a pan together and cooked on the stovetop. Seasoning is whatever the heck I feel like at the time, plus ketchup.

Whether or not domestication in the first place was ethical can be argued, but in my view somewhat irrelevant now - in the world we live in now there are millions of cats, dogs, and others who are in need of a home and adopting/rescuing is a morally good thing to do. I would even go further and say those of us with the means have a moral obligation to do so.

Posts like yours do absolutely nothing to help.

edit: and I also often wonder if accounts like yours are a psyop to make vegans and animal defenders look bad.

Mastodon exists, currently, because enough people like it (and some of those people, myself included, like it in part because it’s less Americanized than BS). Perhaps a Twitter replacement should be better than Twitter. Maybe for many people Mastodon is an improvement.

Strongly disagree. Bluesky is extremely American-centric and basically just a bulletin board of “hot takes”. I find Mastodon much deeper, more engaging, and international. I’m glad I deleted my BS account and replaced it with Mastodon.

edit: However, I was never a Twitter user in the past

I’m actually in awe of how well these match.

I use Cinnamon but Gnome would be my second choice. I want to like Plasma, but every time I’ve used it there’s some glaring bug. Last I checked (few months back) font scaling caused fonts to look like absolute garbage. I found the bug online, tried all the “fixes”, no bueno.

I’m not going without scaling on a 14" 1080p screen.

Cinnamon and Gnome on the other hand: accessibility > large text. Easy. (Higher scaling factors can be found in font settings if needed).

I don’t know what to tell you and I don’t know why you’re getting angry at me - I’m not prescribing language, I’m describing it and yes, I’m aware this differs in other languages and other parts of the world. The continental model we use has North and South America as separate continents, therefore you might as well ask me what to call Africans and Europeans together.

Anyhow, I’m not going to reply anymore since you’re being kinda annoying, sorry.

You just said it. I’m merely desribing local naming conventions. call any Canadian “American” (in English) and you will get a puzzled reaction at best :)

At least here, it would be conventional to say North American, South American, or Central American.

Local naming conventions preclude the use of “American” to mean Canadian. “North American” would be acceptable.

Aber wie lange noch?

Immer. :)

Und im Krieg haben wir viel Training mit den Deutschen. :)

Ich bin Kanadierin und du bist nicht meine Mama!

Guess my Canadian trans ass is boycotting the UK now too. It’s been a long time coming anyway, Terf Island.

(Sorry Scotland, you’re cool but also in a toxic relationship I can’t be around right now. I hope we can be friends again some day)

Mint has an “Action” for that, what does that make me?

I’m happy with my routine. Simple, quick.

For backing up my home folder, I just plug in my external drive and use rsync from the terminal, like so (change to your user name; mine is gecko. Double check the paths and edit as necessary)

rsync -av /home/gecko/ /media/gecko/media/emmahomebackup/ --delete --dry-run (test first, check for errors at the end of output, there shouldn’t be any unless you messed up the paths)

then,

rsync -av /home/gecko/ /media/gecko/media/emmahomebackup/ --delete

This command will back up your home folder the first time you run it, and on subsequent runs will sync any changes that have occured since the last run.

To restore, reverse the paths.

For backing up my system files (basically, everything outside of my home folder) I just use Timeshift.

Config files for programs are in hidden folders in ~ (as you discovered) OR in ~/.config OR in ~/.local/share (yeah it’s a bit of a mess)

Config files for flatpaks can be found under ~/.var/app (usually, some flatpaks have permissions to write outside that directory).

Oh joy, more horrors.

For pee, yes. For poops, not so much lol.

Fedora benefits Red Hat. It’s upstream. I’ll avoid what I can, especially something so obvious.
