** Muddy weeknotes **
Some RSS exclusive week notes:
- I finished reading Emily St. James’ Woodworking
- I started reading Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo
- I took a break from re-watching Frieren for the third time
- I used that break to start watching The Apothecary Diaries, which isn’t at all what I assumed it was. It is more a detective show than anything else, so far, and I dig it
- I started to play Citizen Sleeper
- I cleaned so much, yet the house remains not clean
- It has stopped snowing (for now), we are now solidly in … ⌘ Read more
I’ve been using GIMP 3.0 for a few weeks now and it’s great. New features and I got rid of two custom plugins because they’re in core now. Literally nothing broke for me. And I really appreciate that they kept the familiar UI (instead of changing things just for the sake of change).
Thank you! 🥳

Microsoft is not ending Windows 11 support for Intel’s 8th, 9th, and 10th Gen processors
About two weeks ago, there was a bit of confusion about the system requirements for Windows 11 24H2, because Intel’s 8th Gen, 9th Gen, and 10th Gen processors had disappeared from the list of supported hardware. This seemed rather drastic, even by Windows 11 standards. I skipped posting about it on OSNews because I kind of assumed it must’ve been an error ins … ⌘ Read more

I wanted to do my best to ensure that folks with a variety of devices and browsers would be able to watch the video if they wanted to, so, I converted it into a few different formats.
Here’s the bash script I wrote to do that. It relies on ffmpeg.
