sci-fi
The mood in the observation deck was weird. On one hand the launch had gone off flawlessly, all five massive ships made orbit perfectly. No one had been left behind, all the work from the last few years had been validated.
On the other hand the launch had to happen a month early, forced to flee rather than fight the might of the United states military. Rather than let a group like us live in peace and build ourselves a new home they'd choosen to invade.
On yet another hand there was a feeling of anticipation. We were due to be in sight of our launch site when the eraser triggered in a minute or so.
When the hydrogen bomb triggered it would prevent anyone finding any clues accidentally left behind, and it would send a loud message about our capabilities.
But it would also remove the only place these great ships could safely land. Not just burning our bridge back but literally nuking it. No returning.
This better work.

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.
My Pinecil is rusting?!

KDE is unfortunately limited in what kind of software it can develop, as not every title is going to have a c that you can replace with a k

I admin a local singles group on Facebook, and this is something I've learnt..
Maybe it's not that you're having trouble finding the right woman. Maybe you are the wrong man. For everyone.
For the love of everything good and holy, go the fuck to therapy.

Also discovered that the Pinecil will, in fact, work on 5v USB - it just heats up so hilariously slowly that you'd probably only bother doing so in an emergency. Worked a lot better on 12V PD!
Today's projects: tidying up the hackerspace@home (ie. electronics workshop) so that it's usable again, and finally replacing the broken shell on my old TS100 soldering iron with the fancy blue replacement shell that's been sitting in a box for like 5 years by this point.
Also, yesterday's project was to make a universal clothes folding board from cardboard and packing tape, that's sized exactly to my wardrobe shelves. And it stores as an approximately 25x50cm rectangle, 4 layers thick. It works quite well!

Well, that's new - some glue spilled over the side when I was gluing together a 3D print a while ago, and it seems to have... stolen the pigment from the plastic???
The glue (after peeling it off) now has a bluish tint, and the plastic has lost some of its color saturation in the exact spot of the glue, and I'm certain that there's no glue left on it

Wordy(ish) request for music download sites for anime themes and similar
Does anyone have recommendations for places I might be able to buy mp3s or etc. especially of Japanese pop and anime theme songs? Ideally with older and newer songs (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles through Frieren range). Ideally searchable in English and Japanese.
(Reason for asking: My daughter has a 4+ hour playlist/passion project on Spotify--yes, we know--that I need to recreate for our old iPod so they can close their account.)
Many thanks in advance and apologies if I don't reply aside from liking (I try to reply to everyone, but sometimes requests for advice or etc. get overwhelming). Please know I appreciate you greatly regardless! 🥰🎶

Okay this is pretty hilarious, a Dutch soda brand (Hero) recalled their apple juice because it contained caffeine
That just sounds like a product idea to me
Turns out the <10 EUR tiny battery-powered dremel I got from AliExpress is actually a very capable engraver! Just engraved some tiny cursive text on a random USB A socket I had laying around, and it was quite easy to make it look nice
subtoot of a bunch of things
It's... interesting how some people choose to focus entirely on the hypothetical possibility of false accusations, while actively ignoring the very real and tangle harms that actually take place

I was reading an article and I only noticed halfway that the latex didn’t render because I was rendering it in my head
