Waiting patiently for commercial software to be ported to Linux:

• creative suites, I think Canva is working on Affinity for Linux but they want to release their iPad version first. Wine is working right now but there are a few things I’m getting tired of (navigating folders and trying to print). I know, Gimp, Inkscape and Krita.
• 3D modeling software for engineers, like solidworks or NX. I’m trying Blender add-ons for CAD but it’s not as capable. Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.
• Music production software, esp. Ableton.

I see. It’s like the people wanting small phones. “We are a market” the twelve of them say repeatedly.

As a mechanical engineer, I have bad news for y’all…

Y’all are allowed to hot glue a Bluetooth keyboard to the back of your phone you know.

Jokes aside, I wonder why there aren’t more protective cases with a built in sliding keyboard for phones. Would be cool.

The minimal phone looks like a brick and I understand why the e-ink is a choice that forces you to not use your phone as much but I’m not ready.

I think Ham radio means hobby and amateur radio, I.e. not professional. Radio is a type of radiation at very long wavelength. From the wiki:

long waves can diffractaround obstacles like mountains and follow the contour of the Earth (ground waves), shorter waves can reflect off the ionosphere and return to Earth beyond the horizon (skywaves), while much shorter wavelengths bend or diffract very little and travel on a line of sight, so their propagation distances are limited to the visual horizon.

Others have explained mesh pretty well.

Just installed two Bluetooth mesh messaging apps on my phone, just in case. Is there one y’all recommend? Are BIT and Berkanan ok?

I already have too many hobbies, not going to get into amateur radio. I guess I’ll go buy a battery powered radio receiver when I get a chance, or one with a crank.

I read it more as a personal union situation, not really an annexation.

Oh no… it was the easy solution for Wordpress and other plug and play self hosted services .

I know it’s counter intuitive but women are allowed to shop in the men’s section if what they want is boring functionality.

Same applies to men. My favorite jacket was found in the women’s section.

Though I understand that if you want pockets on a dress, like a cargo dress, that will have to be a DIY item.

If you’re buying dried beans, get a pressure cooker. It makes cooking dried beans without soaking so much easier and faster. You can also make rice in it same as in a rice cooker, maybe a bit faster.

Electric pressure cookers are cheap on 2nd hand market places because a lot of people are getting rid of the one they got during covid.

I joined around the time Reddit changed their API pricing and killed Apollo (RIP). I hate how Reddit pushes content in their app or new website. I got tired of browsing old.reddit on my phone. I still do occasionally (I.e everyday) but I also stayed here because the memes are actually funny.

Bro that’s my patient gaming technique! $10 games FTW!

What you got?

Have you looked in to the French republican calendar??

I hate this insult… if you are going to tell someone they are dumb just tell them they are dumb.

Why do we have to dance around with fancy concepts like temperature and IQ to throw an insult?

What even is temperature?? Little electrons vibrating for some reason and at a macro scale can be sensed as some energy level? I don’t even know but you know who else vibrates? Your mom.

Yeah that’s right, we don’t need science to insult people here.

Also known as the cabinet of curiosities, the door to the world that should not be seen, Medusa’s bane.

You can only do it once

How whip cream is keto because the serving size is 1/2 teaspoon (5mL) and it’s less than 1 calorie (1kcal).

LOL

Imagine the ship of Theseus, but they don’t replace the parts. They just take them off. It will be very cost efficient, until the ship sinks.

Who needs ram in a phone anyway?

Catson Pollock It’s very performative

Yeah, we guessed…
