Heck yeah I would love to never use the terminal. The terminal is the biggest roadblock for me adopting Linux. I never, ever want to open it. If I have to open it, Linux has failed for me as a windows replacement.

I want to try Linux again, and I have dipped my toes many times, but the terminal is the major block for me, a slightly above average pc user.

Hi neighbor! Believe it or not, I walk by your house all the time and always tell my wife I love it :)

As for what you can do, I know you said you’re southern exposure with a lot of sun, but I can tell you that I would consider your home and even that front mostly shaded.

Now is a good time to mulch with some good compost. We’ve been seeing good results with just getting some black kow from Home Depot.

Additionally, I was just there yesterday, but The Farm in Green Village (by Morristown) is open and they’ll soon have plants in their shade section. Very helpful people there too. Definitely worth the trip.

Also, we have a ton of deer, and your arborvitae look like tell-tale signs of deer nibbling. They can’t reach the top so just eat out the middle. I got a motion detected sprinkler to scare them off a few years ago and that seems to help.

Small world, especially on Lemmy!

Nah we upgraded after a few years. But ME was a struggle! Had so many crashes in Diablo 2 and EverQuest. Thats all that mattered to me.

My parents bought a new mouse when I was a kid back in the early 2000s cause we had a crappy view sonic one that came with the pc. The new one was a Microsoft one and it didn’t work cause it needed xp and we had ME. Back to the viewsonic mouse it was for another 20 years until I bought them a Logitech wireless one on a pc I built for them a few years ago.

Wild how the cheap stuff works well for so many years!

Boeing could use them on their door plug nuts.

Good, I was worried he might not be able to follow up on his great rookie year with McLaren.

Seconding an elecom trackball. I use the deft pro personally, but wear medium sized gloves usually.
