#OTD in 1892.
Brandon Thomas' farce Charley's Aunt begins a record-breaking London run at the Royalty Theatre (following a pre-London opening at Bury St Edmunds on February 29).
The play was an immediate success, opening to enthusiastic audiences & excellent notices from the press. It ran for a record-breaking 1,466 performances across four years, closing on 19 December 1896.

#OTD in 1904.
The first of Virginia Woolf's published writings, "Haworth, November 1904", an account of a visit to the Brontë family home, appears anonymously in a women's supplement to a clerical journal, The Guardian. (A book review written later has appeared in the same journal a week earlier.)

Thou hast let billionaires play god, and now they’re treating thy government like a game of Twister—one hand on greed, one foot on corruption, and a fucking faceplant right into dystopia.

Thank you for your post.
Musk may own trump, but what a money losing investment.

the fediverse account didn't grow much though 🤔
is there any bot owner out there that could help me understand that gap?
possible causes I can think of:
- bot filtering/throttling is stronger on fediverse than on bluesky
- account landed in a federated blacklist
- server landed in a federated blacklist
- fediverse community doesn't care about that kind of content

LibreOffice

I use this for over 10 years now. In my opinion it's much better than Microsoft Office, which I am forced to use at work. But I use LibreOffice wherever possible, especially in my private life.
Death of Windows 10:
This is a pretty good write up on what your options are. I'd say 'Go Linux' myself.
✔️ backup is up-to-date
✔️ new #linuxmint is aaaaaaalmost there
✔️ I'm in the mood for some fun
So before I soonish install the new linuxmint (with #xfce btw baby 😎) is there anything fun I can try, to break my current system? And no, rm -rf is only a meme, give me something cool 😅
Pls nothing that goes hard on the ressources, I only want a system breakdown, not a hardware one....

in reply to Anne Deschaine • • •@aehdeschaine Well spotted! I hadn't noticed that one Hygge book. That does indeed sound like something the librarians did on purpose.
Only now do I realise that it is not a coincidence that the display beside the 'Come prepared for the toxic dinner table debates with the family at Christmas' display is all craft and hobby books. 'Christmas zen. Out of the head, into the hands.' Those clever librarians!
