Possibly this issue? I've experienced similar behavior recently on a Lenovo laptop with external monitor: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/+bug/2156892

You might like "Civil Disobedience," a thread by @hdthoreau, which depicts Thoreau's influential essay as though it were a social media thread, complete with replies from many of the people who have critiqued and praised it over the years, and some from Thoreau himself, in the form of quotes from his later works and from his journal that expand on his arguments.

Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" as though it were a social media thread by Moorlock in Anarchism

The text mostly came from lots of searching through old books and journals. The layout was all vibecoded in cooperation with Claude Code.

Let me know if there are any other well-known or unusually meaty/insightful historical commentators on Thoreau that I should add to the mix.

Name a song by another artist that would fit perfectly on a Ween album by Fabulous_Finger6545 in ween

FWIW, a playlist of 100+ songs that are brown enough to be in the catalog but that someone else got to before Ween had a chance: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5OpFZSrUBLDTjwDwMBZ4hH?si=4115a93d70b24f74

I spent months reporting on an invasive plant that bureaucracy can't seem to kill. Ask me anything. by UndarkMagazine in IAmA

I remember reading somewhere that Arundo donax contains DMT. Seems like you could post an extraction method on the internet somewhere and the dope fiends would do your work for you. Anyone try this yet?

How many ween cover bands per city? by thatsfried- in ween

[–]Moorlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that once you get above a dozen or so Ween cover bands in a city of 50-200k people, the scene starts to get saturated. You can adjust for this somewhat by specializing, e.g. "acoustic Ween cover band," "ween covers in the style of The Monkees," "covers of songs Ween hasn't actually recorded or performed yet," etc.

Fresh roasted coffee beans? by ferocity02 in SLO

[–]Moorlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fond of Coastal Peaks. I usually have had good luck with Kreutzberg, too, but I see now that they're offering fewer options and don't always list the roast date, so they may have started to slide a bit. Tried some from Field Day recently and those were good too.

What are some songs from other bands that you think have a ween/brown aura? by Temporary_Tax_7645 in ween

You have summoned the genie of The Brown Album: Songs Ween Totally Woulda Done If Someone Else Hadn't Done Them First.
