NSFW meme: been re-learning about how flux adds most of the hazardous stuff in solder fumes, and FINALLY picked up a fume extractor~

I've been using lead-free for years (and always open windows, wash hands, etc.), but have avoided this 'cause I hate fan noise. Realized that my bone-conduction headphones + "noise cancelling" earplugs fix that! 🤩

BTW, here's a great blog post from @wizard about lead-free solder/flux safety: bhencke.com/blog/2019/3/15/a-h…

Search inquiries for “Trump,” “is Trump dead” and “Trump dead” were among the top searches on Google as of noon Saturday while “Where is Donald Trump” was trending on X. forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/20…

The image features a meme with two distinct sections. The top section shows a woman with curly gray hair, wearing a red shirt, sitting at a table with a laptop in front of her. The text above her reads, "YOUR PARENTS IN 1996: DON'T TRUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET." The bottom section continues with the same woman, still at the laptop, and the text reads, "YOUR PARENTS IN 2024: TRUMP IS JESUS," accompanied by a skull emoji. The meme humorously contrasts the cautionary advice given by parents in 1996 about the internet with a more extreme belief attributed to them in 2024.

@GIMP What is it with the font dock window? I get fonts listed multiple times.
Also, what is the Filter input supposed to do? Whatever I type in, the list is empty.

in reply to GIMP

I get the idea that the many symlinks (which are probably creating the duplicates) are there for backward compatibility. I assume Gimp knows how to use variable fonts and show different variants in the font box, or a way to set the variables when using it? If I don't use any apps that need that backward compatibility, then I'd better remove the symlinks.
in reply to Jerry 🇸🇪

GIMP does not yet have a UI for using variable fonts, sorry. But in general you may get all of the variants automatically from fontconfig, and they should work fine in GIMP.

I just noticed the chassis of my Thinkpad T480 bulging near the screen. this is the rear battery after I removed it! now contained in a horse trough full of dirt outside the house!

I'm fortunate that this happened while I was actively using the laptop! and also that the laptop has 2 batteries, so even without this one it is not confined to being plugged in 100% of the time.

I believe this battery is from @iFixit - gifted to me by a friend - and is the second failed battery from that order! I thought iFixIt sourced good batteries but now I'm not so sure. unknown as of yet if the battery is still under warranty.

cc @matthew - if I can scrape together the money in coming weeks I want to get a T480 keyboard and maybe a battery from you, unless it's really more cost-effective to order direct (but from who?)

in reply to selfhosting.couchsurfing

I can probably help or point you to some solutions.

Batteries are tough. Difficult to know whether you are getting a good one or not, no matter the supplier. I often try to get used, tested original batteries on ebay, but I sometimes get after-market batteries, too.

Nouripour schlägt gebündelte Wahlen vor

Grünen-Politiker Nouripour beklagt eine "Atemlosigkeit" in der deutschen Politik durch ständige Wahlen. Sein Lösungsvorschlag: Die Bundestags-Legislaturperiode auf fünf Jahre verlängern und dazwischen alle Landtagswahlen an einem Termin bündeln.

in reply to tagesschau

Die Angleichung dürfte nur für ein paar Jahre entlasten, denn irgendwas ist ja immer. Irgendwo wird es immer mal wieder vorgezogene Wahlen geben, was den ganzen Plan wieder durcheinanderbringt. Abgesehen davon: Ländergesetzgebung zu Wahlen? Die müsste ja auch erstmal unter einen Hut.
Also: nö.
in reply to tagesschau

Spitzenidee.
Wie wär's mit einer Wahl alle tausend Jahre? 🤔

Geoff seems to have forgiven me, and is now nursing a blanket 😹


Alguém por acaso me sabe explicar a razão porque em Portugal nos últimos dez a 15 anos os prédios novos de apartamentos em urbanizações de luxo têm quase todos varandas com parapeitos de vidro?

Será pelo facto do vidro ser mais barato?

Não existe o perigo daquilo começar a rebentar/partir por tudo quanto é lado quando faz muito calor ou muito vento?

Até que ponto é que uma varanda com um parapeito de vidro é segura tanto para as pessoas nas suas casas como para as pessoas que vão a andar na rua?

Porquê o vidro e não o cimento?

Pessoalmente, não me parece fazer qualquer sentido - mais parecendo uma abominação urbanística do que outra coisa. A única explicação plausível é se o vidro é capaz de reter alguma energia solar...

I was eager to try the new batch of tempeh (desi chickpea and organic sprouted rye), and so I made a stew with what I had on hand, and it turned out well. Post includes a compare-and-contrast between mirin and what is sold as mirin.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from purple at the top to pink at the bottom. The text is predominantly white, with some words in a cursive script. The main message reads: "IT'S OK TO BE WRONG ABOUT THINGS. You can have a change of opinion or beliefs after hearing more information and facts. That's not a personal failure. It's personal growth." The text is arranged in a vertical layout, with the largest text at the top and bottom, and smaller text in the middle. The message is clear and motivational, encouraging the idea that changing one's mind is a sign of personal growth rather than failure.

Russia now fully bans “foreign agents” from all educational work — not just with children, but with adult students too. Anybody with this designation now will lose their teaching license tomorrow. "Foreign agents" are also barred from positions on state corporations. rbc.ru/politics/01/09/2025/68b…
