Swede’s PhotographsMolten HorizonThis photo captures the sun and ocean as sunset approaches over the Caribbean Sea. The sun, positioned low in the western sky, casts visible rays that stretch outward like golden spokes. Its reflection creates a luminous path across the water, leading directly toward the viewer. A few scattered clouds drift through the sky, but the most striking is a large, lingering cloud just beneath the sun—its presence adding depth and drama to the scene.The photographs I share here don’t appear as vivid as they do in my Pixel’s gallery. To make them load more easily, I reduce their size and slightly lower their quality.

TerryI'd enjoyed the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Amber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amber</a> diceless <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RPG</a> in years gone by, now found an unofficial Amber playset for <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Fiasco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fiasco</a>: <a href="https://actionyann.itch.io/fiasco-amber-diceless" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://actionyann.itch.io/fiasco-amber-diceless</a>. On a quick read it hits plenty of the right tropes, and I expect Fiasco's focus on rivalries and relationships also suits. (And if playing in Fiasco means the game ends up more comedic than the original source, so be it :-) )<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/FiascoRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FiascoRPG</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AmberRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmberRPG</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>

What I can tell you, is that if I lock my mind on it, I can make patches for all the Desktop Environments and all the Window Managers that I use to put back the old fat non disappearing scroll bars backThere was never a good reason to make scroll bars disappear.All it does is make things difficult for children with maximum dexterity from the minimum age of four, all the way up to the disaster for people who have limited Mobility who are Beyond sixty years of age<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/crt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CRT</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/amber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amber</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/monitor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monitor</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a>

Full configurability almost like KDE hasThat was the period where I would gladly use both Gnome and KDE on my desktops.When the Gnome programmers started to think for me, is when I Departed.I am however glad that the Gnome project exists and thrives, because there are hundreds of thousands of people who like the way that the Gnome programmers work. Without Gnome we would have lost those people to MacintoshGet back to subject please take your time to go to Amber monitors, to the time when you had to run Sidekick, the time when you had to run DOS 3.3I'm almost certain, no I am certain that you can't argue, that what sidekick did there for a crude and rudimentary user interface was advanced.I love the way SideKick used the interrupt timer, interrupt the whole system inserted stuff do whatever it wants to do, then tell DOS how to save the files, and then when you got out of SideKick, it was almost magical, that you could use a single tasking operating system and pause it do one of the tasks and then resume it without the operating system ever getting screwed up<a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/sidekick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sidekick</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/amber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amber</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/crt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CRT</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/dos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOS</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/titlebar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#titleBar</a>
