Why did Japanese samurai shave the tops of their heads, leave the sides long, and have a small pony tail tied in the back?

Is there an alternative "lite" web front-end for Nextcloud?
My Nextcloud instance runs reasonably well on the server side, and my desktop and phone are able to render the web UI reasonably fast when I want to…but I also have a tablet with slow hardware and wifi that is just unusably slow with the Nextcloud web UI.

If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?
I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?

Pulsar alternative idea
For those like me interested in the Pulsar brewer, I am considering trying a similar poor-man’s setup based on the Oxo compact cold brewer.

I’ve already made a post about this, I made the switch from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one and I was wondering if I needed to install anything extra. I’ve heard the drivers are included inside the kernel but how do I ensure that it’s installed?

I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3
I’m just a little bit late to the Baldurs Gate 3 party, but I searched on here and didn’t see much follow up discussion about it after the review thread.
