And to top it off, I composed this post on the command-line with `toot` >:]

To be fair to GNOME though, my setup wasn't perfectly stock, though GNOME tends to be a bit unreliable anyway... *but*, to be fair, I also had to compose my post twice due to toot discarding my message with an error since it was longer than 500 characters. So now that I'm back to being a "hacker", I now need to deal with those sort of problems :)

I finally reinstalled Sway on my system. After having recessed into normal UIs for so long (no offense to "normal UI" users, just not made for me!), I'm finally back 😎
I find it so funny that after reinstalling sway, I didn't even need to close GNOME, it just crashed the next time I woke my computer up.

More to come: ladders, climbing, sword and shield combat, item use…yeah I still have work to do 😅

My modified is having a risky window system flaw where when a new window opens, sometimes the one underneath it retains focus... I've almost copy-pasted some stuff into a chat when it was supposed to go somewhere else.
My setup is really glitchy. I want to switch to something that works better, but I have so much config that might get lost... I think I'll hold out until . At least until it works on + !

One of mine is avoiding unnecessary consumer goods purchases.

This 10+ yo Miele vacuum broke at the handle. The man said too old for replacement parts, maybe buy new?

I didn't think so.

Some shaping, multi-purpose strong glue & a few winds of duct tape later—gobs of energy and plastic waste held off a few more years at least.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MS WINDOWS HAS THE SEND-TO-BACK WINDOW MANAGEMENT FEATURE
All this time, I could just press Alt+Esc and my window would be sent to the back! If only I knew this back when I was a Windows user.
What if Windows also has always-on-top?

GNOME powers much more than just a desktop!

Projects like libxml2, libsoup, and vte are widely used across the open-source ecosystem.

Support GNOME and the many projects it enables :🚀
