I said I code you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't code you any better
I code you just the way you are

Isn't C lovely?
Isn't C wonderful?
Isn't C precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through code, we'd be
Making one as lovely in C
But isn't C lovely? Made from code

What the world needs now, is code, sweet code.
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is code, sweet code,
No not just for some, but for everyone

I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've coded
We've shared code and made code
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
Oh oh babe

My developer I
Can't get enough of your code, babe
GNU, I don't know I don't know why
Can't get enough of your code, babe

A surprising amount of love songs become parodies that write themselves just by replacing "love" with "code" in the lyrics. Some examples:

I realized I'm bad at estimating how much time ⁨#weaving⁩ will take. First I estimated a napkin took about 3 hours, then after weaving 2 hours this morning and not finishing I figured it would take 9. Another hour and now it's done. So maybe 5 hours?

I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast almost every day for years, yet I still haven't mastered eating it without burning some part of my mouth.

@yaelwrites So frustrating! Ever interaction my family, friends, and I have with the US medical system reveals, at least to me, what a shambles (and rip off) it is.

Weaving napkins is like making pancakes. The first one doesn't count. The second one is better but not quite there. But by the third one you finally got it down. ⁨#weaving⁩

@braydon@glacierfoods.social I've been using it for years and if you want a highly secure OS and are willing to deal with a few inconveniences in return, it is hard to beat.

I finally found the time to upgrade my work Librem 14 laptop to Qubes 4.1. I followed the backup/install/restore method instead of in-place upgrade. It was relatively uneventful and so far so good.

@yaelwrites Do it! Write a song about it!

This picture shows the 2nd napkin, which has different and less noticeable mistakes than the first one. By the time I get to the 8th napkin it (and I) should be pretty good!

I'm practicing ⁨#weaving⁩ doubleshot patterns by making a full set of napkins with free and cheap yarn I already had. I'm learning a lot about weaving complex patterns with this project. It will be hard to wipe my mouth with these napkins when I'm done.

Since the Librem 5 runs the same OS as Librem laptops, it has the same software. I recently got an SDR (Software Defined Radio) dongle, and I can connect it to the Librem 5 and use the same tools (gqrx) as on a laptop. Gqrx isn't adaptive, so I just dock the Librem 5. Pretty fun.

@okennedy Here is an example of what I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L3R75PW

@okennedy It's just a generic metal hinged arm with a magnet on one end and 3M tape on the other to fasten to your laptop. If you do a web search for magnetic laptop phone mount you should be able to find some.
