Gotta love monitors that sit on your desk, rarely move, and don't have to be thin or light but somehow still manage to come with a separate external power brick like I'm some sort of cable management genius :blobcat_thisisfine:

"I don't think that they're going to have [a Wayland-only release] done by Q3 or Q4 but that's a very ambitious goal."

@Mojeek
Do you collect searches and results when somebody clicks those "Try elsewhere:" buttons?
If not, you should. It would help you find issues a lot faster...

Why are y'all still protesting on foot?
That's like the ONE thing that works better in cars. :ablobfoxbongo:

Are thousands of people with signs really more effective than thousands of CARS gridlocking the ENTIRETY OF WASHINGTON DC? :blobcatgiggle:

Stop letting Brother steal your money with expensive refills!!! :ablobcatattention:
(They may not do it with printers, but they sure do love to scam you with label printer refills)

Embossing label makers still exist, and they're cheap as dirt. :ablobcatbongo:

I found a company on Amazon that sells assortments of resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, ICs, screws, nuts, standoffs, and a whole load of other things in these really neat boxes. :blobwizard:
I wish more companies sold their small part assortments like this... :ablobcatwave:

I recently watched a performance of Shakespeare's Othello (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAuqkY6kQhU) and wondered if anybody had done an in-depth OPSEC postmortem on the play. :blobcatthink:
It feels like the kind of thing that someone on the internet definitely should've made, but I couldn't find anything. :blobcatgooglyshrug:
The internet has failed us once again... :blobcat_thisisfine:

:blobwizard: You don't need a $1000 camera or an hour of traveling to take a good Aurora photo.
:ablobcatbongo: You need a tripod, patience, and a decent point and shoot that with a manual mode and RAW output.
:ablobcatwave: Set the exposure time to "forever", the ISO to "grainy" and the F-stop to "eyes dilated at optometrist."
:blobcatsanta: This one was taken in the Chicago suburbs with a tripod and a Canon PowerShot S100 at ISO 80, F2.0, and 15 second exposure, then processed in RawTherapee.

Two-week notices aren't mandatory; you can just leave whenever :blobcathyper:

"Some people are so eager for a shortcut that they don't care who gets exploited or left behind along the way. It's easier to remain ignorant, always."
"And yet... we can care about each other! It's a thing we're allowed to do. In a sense, it's the only power we have."

Design is simply engineering whose chief priorities do not lie solely in function or performance.

Good design is good engineering.
