Fare thee well.
You were gone in the blink of an AI.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

There's still some residual oak, rowan, willow, and other native tree species around, but I can't help imagining how magical this must have been when it was enclosed in thick, wild Atlantic rainforest.

It's beginning to look a lot like CSSmas
Everywhere you scroll
Take a look at the grid and flex, they're box-shadowed once again
With conic-gradients and border-shapes that glow

Merry CSSmas!

apt update command: The Essential First Step Before Any Linux Update Running the apt update command before installing any packages is absolutely crucial. Learn why this simple step matters for system health and security.
