just another second banana. Freelancing. It sucks but it's better than working for fruit based computing.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice/116925056530698757
looks nice but I don't know if that means Impress is any more usable. I find Writer to be perfectly competent in most uses. Calc to be full of friction. I'm still baffled why table formatting doesn't seem to get the respect it should. Impress has never been useful for me. I mean it's there and everything just not useful. Esp with morph now it's rough doing fun five minute presentations without morph.

I've also heard that sometimes you can get a decent iron with a shield like a shirt over the material and then iron that.

What about inverting them first and then ironing them?

I'm surprised to hear that. I haven't been hearing much from threads but I suppose that is the other big option. I don't think FaceBook will ever come back into prominence though. It's just too passé.

oh how delightful. So here's mine. How important is cleaning between inks. I have a bunch of sample inks. I load up about 1-1.5cm of ink and then use it for a while. When I'm done there's a 30min ceremony of cleaning. What if I … don't. Is it just that the inks won't be true (which is fine for me) or will it go full Michael Bay? How serious is this?

I guess I got kinda lucky because yeah I haven't been too interested in any of the recent SE colors with an exception for the Harry Potter colors. Those were compelling but the upcharge and Harry Potter factor were way out of my range.
I do kind of want another so I can have two and I also want to try some others to see how they handle differently.

i carried my flashlights with me so often one by one I seem to have lost all five of them. Utter madness. One day I'm going to have time to do a deep clean and find them.

how do you like that generally? I was looking at that one a while back but my friendly local doesn't carry it so I'd have to buy it online.

At this point the only conclusion I can make is that I made a mistake getting an extrafine nib. I'm gonna have to see if I can get a fine nib and test it out. Because with EF the only things that look the way I want are really the cartridges.
If I get some money I might just buy another #LAMYSafari so I can do side by sides faster.

Testdriving new ink finally (only have 1 pen. I'm new here) Rohrer & Klinger Verdura.
My big takeaway is that it's flowing MUCH MUCH better than what I had previously.
The #FerrisWheelPress - FerriTales - Oinking Embers is apparently shimmer and I guess the extra fine nib I have is just too small for the bits of shimmer. I eventually wrote out my draw and the Verdura is at least consistently flowing from the pen.
That said it's still not as heavy as the LAMY cartridges.

for me the value is that unlike pocket which reloads the article because it's web-based. Joplin just downloads the article so I have a small markdown file basically which can be helpful when it comes to websites that only give X free articles a month. It happened once I went back to a saved article to read it and I was out of free articles and i was blocked and annoyed.

poorly. I have a joplin extension that allows me to save the articles locally. I really want a unified system I can use on mobile and desktop but i haven't found it yet. Maybe once I get my NAS up and running I'll be able to sue that.

so it's "Hamas must obey" or "We'll kill everyone". Kinda sounds like a war crime to me. And your defense is that HAMAS knows that Israel is willing to do a war crime and is using it against them.

wait so by that logic they don't care about the hostages if they get the TrumpSpa. Not the gates will be open until we get the hostages back... but gates will be open until we can build a resort. Kinda sounds like the hostages are an afterthought... maybe a justification. Like maybe they don't even plan on getting them back and really just want a day spa.

I haven't read Fahrenheit in ages. I could probably do that again.

Little Brother falls under this. While I think the prose isn't fantastic. It does a fantastic job of explaining. Explaining why resistance and collective action. Explaining how technology works. Explaining why privacy matters and how privacy works. It makes for a fantastic reference and an okay story.

They solve a single problem that isn't a problem. It solves the "watches aren't in fashion" problem. So wearing a smart watch is great and useful but watches themselves are so old fashioned.
But like a touch screen or rotary nob gear shift. It throws out an insane amount of utility and haptic feedback in favor of being "innovation".

Hope you didn't pay too much for those redbox versions cause there they go
