@Gargron A lovely little fellow. It was fun to hang out with them. A pro tip for being in an enclosure with dozens of birds: wear a rain jacket, a leather jacket, something easy to clean,

A side note, if I may: thank you for your work!

Ello sweet and lovely Friendos 
Sorry for being so quiet the last few days... I know I still need to share two journal toots... But Thursday and Friday were very busy days...
I just finished today's blog post... π I had an idea of what I could "whip up in a jiffy", so of course it took me about 1Β½ hours...
I want to relax a bit now without a screen, so I'll try to puzzle a bit. Then, hopefully, I will be able to start working on writing the journal toots... Finally... π
Hope you're all doing well! I'll do my best to get to your replies soon too, hopefully after I finally get my journal toots done. But first... A puzzle to relax a bit! π
Catch you all later dears.

I've been very picky about music players over the years. Basically for decades (well, maybe not that long) it was PowerAmp, ever since I had my HTC Hero on Android 1.5.
Then when I got into the whole Open Source thing, I chose Musicolet and loved it, even donated to the author.
Sadly, on my latest phone which seems to have incredibly strict memory/power settings, I had to stop using Musicolet. The phone would kill the player a sing or two into listening no matter what tricks I would use to try and stop it happening.
Now I'm using Phocid which has never been killed while in use.
And I keep all my music in finders, correctly named and tagged with MP3Tag and MusicBee because, you know, Autism. π
Except that he just recently started listening on a dedicated device that doesn't scrobble. π€

Hahaaa, you only listen to US and Japan artists, that's kinda hilarious.
In any case, I don't see any listens on there since yesterday. :P
Not implying anything about the #Tangara, which is epic.
I am, however, being quite silly, and not ever passing up an opportunity to give you a hard time.
I mean, I told @spaceraser in basically the same breath that I was offended at him for quoting the wrong Beastie Boys song.
I am NOT in a serious mood. XD

I'm using the Pano Scrobbler android app, which just allows you to write a local CSV file.
It's pretty dope.

meanwhile it's been solid as the default session on Ubuntu
(LTS since 22.04) (Intel and AMD anyway*).
Will you be trying COSMIC again if more people develop 3rd party customisation options?

nVidia took longer but given their history with driver support I don't blame Wayland for that. I deliberately chose integrated AMD for a new quiet SFF PC because of it.

feature/api matrix for different compositor implementations is also a challenge
wayland.app/protocols/
is an interesting presentation of the documentation.
But I wouldn't know a thing about how the code looks when it comes to bars (in particular polybar or waybar)
