Every time I use the new KDE Plasma, I get so frustrated that I want to break something. The same goes for whenever I have to use other people's computers, especially if they run Windoze or the rotten Apple; and it's even worse when I have to use a public computer.
The only thing that worries me is that I am becoming my own island, which is maybe not so good. I am thinking maybe of running a virtual box inside my Linux machine, in which I can run Windoze or the rotten Apple or some other Linux OS, just to keep up a little with changes that are going on "out there".
I could have written this, or most of it. I don't know if it helps knowing you're not alone...

The Trinity users list is becoming my entire social life. I also wonder if maybe this is not healthy. On the other hand, fewer and fewer people "out there" seem to be really sane; and when I must use their computers, this worries me even more.
When I was mostly offline for a few days, trying to migrate from Debian to Devuan, I got 44 emails, of which 43 were from the TDE mailing list.
Tomorrow, at any rate, I shall try to make it downstairs, past the front desk, beyond the ice machine, and to go outdoors, maybe even as far as the library and the farmers market. Also, I need coffee.
Probably the caffein withdrawal is what makes real trouble :-) (just conted: 4 kg coffee left *phiew*)
Must be more than one container then. On this side of the pond, a 3 lb can is a big one, I get nervous when I am down to the last can. For use, that can gets dumped into a smaller plastic can with a handle that works much better for filling the Mr. Coffee for another 12 cups of Gods Blessing.
I've been known to have 4 of the big cans on top of the fridge, buying it when its on sale at under 7 dollars a can. Wouldn't want to run out between sales now would we?

I, too, shop for the sales, but nowadays I am a coffee snob (thanks to a former girlfriend, since about 30 years ago now). I spend at least $30-40 every month on the stuff. But I only like it strong and black, so at least I save money by not needing to adulterate the elixir of enlightenment with cream and sugar, etc.
I feel people who put cream and sugar in their coffee do not like coffee, plus the cream and sugar will give you stomach problems.
It's rather an expensive habit, and probably qualifies as an addiction, but then as I get older, I have fewer and fewer dependable pleasures, so by that measure it's cheap. It also goes well with reading, and a good book is a friend for life.

When I start reading a Louis LaMoore book I can not put it down, his study on American History is one of the best and the way he tells a story fascinates me. I have crates full of his books and I have read them all, not one of them was a bad story. Many of his story's have been made to film. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0478263/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_L%27Amour
