Trippy! I like it!

It’s a hard choice, I recently got a pair of the top left and absolutely love how it fits me and plan on getting more eventually. The bottom right is what I wear 99% of the time.

In an end of the world scenario I would have to go with the bottom right since most of my wardrobe is built around skinny jeans 😅

Great article, I have been subscribed to that feed for a while and have had the Gemini site bookmarked - sadly I forget that Gemini exists. This post reminded me to jump back on when I get home :)

Unrelated but @[email protected] I think I’ve been subscribed to your feed for a while as well. Did you have a blog on SDF previously called Tinkering Down Under? If so, it’s nice to see a familiar name!

How often do you buy clothes?

More than I care to admit — at least one thing per month. I started transition a few years ago and have lost nearly 20kg since this past December. Almost everything I wore last spring is far too large and it’s been a struggle to replace many pieces with thrifted ones since I’m quite a bit outside of the body norms in my city. I can get Bershka and Pull&Bear trousers and jeans at work for less than €20 while they are nearly €30 elsewhere so it has been tempting!

For me, the most important is that everyday items and expensive items are European: food, softwares, fuel, car, etc.

This makes me feel a bit better as my partner and I have been buying European for almost everything (other than games, and most of them are indie these days) for years. Thank you :3

 

I’m having a bit of an ethical dilemma - I currently work for a large-ish American fashion retailer that sells a lot of European brands. It’s been a pleasure seeing a bunch of brands that we sell show up here. I’m in need of new jeans and have been considering shopping after work since I also get a staff discount.

The company itself fits my core values and hasn’t abandoned DEI, which is the main reason I’m considering a purchase. It is, however, still an American company and while the clothing is European, the money would still go to an American company and into their economy. For additional context, I’m in The Netherlands.

Thoughts? I’m currently on my way to a shift and won’t be able to immediately reply — wanted to post before I forgot :3

Scripting: Fix script docs not being searchable without manually recompiling scripts

This one is quite welcome as I ran into it last night while writing docs and thought it was me!

Edge is on Linux (bottom of the page). Throw a windoze skin on KDE and it would be like they never left.

XXL Nutrition, from The Netherlands.

The vanilla whey isolate is my favourite, and I put 25-30g of it in my overnight oats for breakfast almost every morning. My partner makes banana pancakes with it in place of sugar for a sweetener and they’re fabulous!

The chocolate whey isolate is yummy and can be gritty at times. Sometimes I’ll toss it in a blender with cold coffee. Warm coffee just makes it clumpy.

The frozen fit meals are also great and I can find them at my local grocery store. They’ve been great for dinners when I don’t feel like cooking. The only one I haven’t tried yet is the pulled curry.


Someone else in the comments mentioned Bulk. I can vouch that it’s pretty good. The apple and blackberry electrolyte powder is just lovely to have while at the gym. The tropical clear whey isolate is my go-to drink immediately after a workout, it keeps the sore factor down especially after leg day :3

Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

That has been my experience recently. I had the same mindset as you until a critical piece of software I use shat the bed on Arch (LiveCaptions) that affected my being able to watch training videos for work.

Because it was time critical and I didn’t feel like possibly breaking other things for one package, I grabbed the flatpak. It came with its own nvidia driver package (mine was newer) and it worked out of the box without having to mess with anything and that was enough to change my hardline view on that.

Now it’s just another tool to use in an emergency when important things randomly break.

That’s fair, thanks for expanding on the criteria! Serif is indeed still located in the UK, I had a look before commenting. The address of the company headquarters matters, for sure.

for example publicly traded companies are usually owned by several investors and might even be hold in majority by foreign investors - but the company itself has to follow regional laws which is what we focus on.

Absolutely. Ubisoft is a great example of that. Last time I checked, Tencent owns a bunch of shares there - not enough for a majority, yet it’s still a concern for the future.

The site is bookmarked and I’m looking forward to watching it develop!

Canva (an Australian company) bought Serif not long ago, so Affinity Photo is technically Australian software now. Might want to update that list ^^

And their refusal to listen to what the fans actually want.

And frivolous patent lawsuits on mechanics that they don’t use themselves. Or patents they made after said prior art came out.

And sending their lawyers after streamers and content creators.

And killing fan games that improve on their failures.

And artificial digital scarcity.

Their arrogance will be their downfall.

That’s a fair point. Season 9 was certainly a vibe I can’t quite find the words for.

 

At the moment theres a bunch of spam in All coming from tickler dot cc containing a QR code instead of a message so I opted for blocking the whole instance. Posts from there are still showing up in the feed today after blocking it yesterday.

I do have a large block list, am I running into a soft limit or something?
