@Alexandergrate He’s also interested in all sorts of fun little projects like the hyperloop. As long as he can afford hobbies like that, we’ll continue to hear from him.

@mimmymum I’ve been reading some of the #twitter related news lately, but I still haven’t figured out why people feel the need to migrate now. I must have missed something big. Is the usability expected to degrade even further, or what’s behind this #TwitterMigration ?

@codeHaiku Reminds me of HateBook. That site is gone now, but you can still find the news articles about a revolutionary new social site centered around making enemies and hating everyone.

@freemo Those things have been designed for mineral exploration. BTW you’ll also need a stationary base station which will provide a reference measurement. The difference of the two will be your final magnetic anomaly map, which will be able to display certain ferromagnetic minerals such as pyrrhotite and magnetite. If you’re looking for gold necklaces in the beach, this method might not be what you’re looking for.

@SciencePhysicist I’ve managed to make it work for me by following all the tech channels I like and ignoring everything in the drama lama section.

@lupyuen This is what happens when the user can’t even opt out of trading performance for battery life. Apple has never been a big fan of adding settings or even allowing the user to choose what’s best for them.

@freemo @trinsec That’s very beautiful. I’m also trying to make my everyday handwriting more copperplate, but it’s still really far from what you’ve got there. BTW it looks like you’re using a flex nib of some kind. I’m just using a boring but consistent EF nib from kaweco.

@fribbledom But is it still “technically correct”?

I’ve also noticed that the VBA generated by excel doesn’t look like a smart way to write something, but it works, so I guess that’s still technically correct.

@danie10 if you start using a new google service or a new feature of an older service, remember not to fall in love with it. There’s a good chance it will be discontinued within two years. Can you imagine writing lots of stuff in google wave or spending time making annotations to YouTube videos. All of that’s gone now.

@wolf480pl @izaya @2ck Having studies a little bit of calligraphy and the history of writing, I’m pretty sure some of these odd conventions came from necessity. Nowadays, in the age of infinite screen space, there’s no need to combine separate letters into ligatures or collapse multiple closing symbols into one. In the age of expensive vellum things were very different. However, that still doesn’t explain silent letters though. That’s just wasted space IMO.

@wolf480pl @izaya @2ck I have to say, that structure is very unusual, but to me it still looks perfectly coherent.

@2ck @izaya The programmer in me disagrees with your teacher. That order just makes no sense!

@tripu This might not be exactly what you want, but it’s a step in the right direction. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lt02ltespr

@codeHaiku I’m using it on a touch screen laptop, and I don’t have any real complaints besides the fact that the default orientation happens to be portrait. Haven’t found a solution yet, but eventually I will. But on a desktop with a normal keyboard and mouse, I prefer to use KDE or Cinnamon. In an environment like that, I can’t really see myself using Gnome.

@codeHaiku Out of curiosity, which part of Gnome 40 bothers you? Does something go against your workflow?
