I'm not even sure what this is referring to. Vincent Vega’s shoes when he was in the bathroom? I don’t recall them being especially pointy...

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! 🤩

in reply to merlin / alex glow

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

in reply to Coach Pāṇini ®

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.
@GIMP
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? 🤔
