Tom’s Diner.

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

Just because I don’t really know the geography there, I thought I’d look it up. Sticker range on the cybertruck is apparently 500km, which (as the crow flies) would get you from Moscow to Kursk, or from Kursk to Kyiv.

The Adventure Zone is good for the same reason as Dimension 20. A lot of DnD ‘actual play’ podcasts are people who play a great game of DnD, but don’t make a great podcast.

TAZ is a bunch of comedy podcasters who decided to play DnD for a goof, and it works. The first arc has a rough first couple episodes, but it turns into one of my most beloved pieces of media across any format.

I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.

I’ve witnessed a lot of talk about this song- I love me a good cover- and this is the first time I’ve read this quote. Thanks for that, it gives some great context.

Bike locks are a spectrum, and I’ve generally sat on the small and light end of that. My reasoning is that any lock can be broken, it’s more about how difficult you want to make it for the thief.

I’m happy with any lock that prevents someone from just picking up the bike and riding off. As soon as someone has to bring out speciality tools, they’re breaking the social contract regardless of those tools being hydraulic jaws and angle grinders, or just bolt cutters. That’s the step in trying to prevent.

So I just roll with a thin cable and a little padlock. Small enough to chuck in a pocket, long enough to wrap around fences/trees/friends bikes.

Your mileage will definitely vary.

It’s pretty niche. I’d be interested in it as a device for messaging between folks who are out of mobile range - think farmers, hikers, mountain climbers, forestry workers, fire service, etc.

Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I’ve seen, slightly more so than type G.

This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.

And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.

The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.

Ok, so when I’m next driving through a Swiss tunnel, and suddenly the tunnel twists inside itself infinitely, I can blame FreeCAD.

I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

Type I. The angled pins make it much more stable than F, and there’s heaps of options for cable exiting sideways, upwards, downwards, straight out, etc .

Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?

They’re such a sweet sound, but I feel like it’s easy to ignore.

It was more of a lighthearted, fun joke about how I think that humans dying out works be a good thing for biodiversity, on balance.

This isn’t Indian, it’s Thai- they are known for their insane ads.
