The right writing tool?
  • He he, I got a lot of the safaris too ; black, white, red, pink/violet, yellow,...

    EF nib being my favourite. I don't think there are any shops selling nibs only here in Bordeaux (my french is not very good) but maybe I'll buy a pack on ebay/amazon to upgrade my F and fatter ones ... It's so fun to fill them up with other inks too.

    Do you only/mostly write when journaling? I try to "journal" but I'm basically only drawing.

  • Are there more than 25 General purpose technologies?
  • That seens quite haphasard as a list, "three masted sailing ship" ? What purpose technology is that?

    Maybe he just tries to box together things that have moved humanity forward? But then he forgets penicillin or medicine, space science (rockets, GPS,...), the internet, lots of stuff. Sounds like someone who thinks he knows it all but, surprise, doesn't.

    And as a CEO he feels "lean production" is one of them. Of course.

  • Open source projects drown in bad bug reports penned by AI
  • Well said!

    Also, we monitor beginners heavily because the smallest unsignificant error (in their eyes) can have long lasting downsides and cause strange problems further down the road...

    Managers usually love to say they, too, coded back in the day, but they didn't, they wrote some small scripts and thinks everything is easy like that so why not use AI, and why is it taking long to fix that bug?!

  • The right writing tool?
  • I think DeAtramentis is too dry 😋 I don't know how to explain it better but Carbon Black is very "fluid" and wet in comparison IMO.

    I did some ink hunting for aquarelle painting and there were only like three or four that were both black and not smudging at all, Carbon Black, DeAtramentis Archive and Sketch ink IIRC. The DeAtramentis Document does smudge though, not very much but still don't drench it i water :-).

    Yes, Lamy is the workhorse of fountain pens, and I do like its build with a triangular finger rest and pop on cap. Super sturdy too!

    Can you buy Lamy stuff over the counter in France?

  • Russia withdraws ships, weapons from Syria, Ukrainian intelligence reports
  • Also, the only orher warm water port they have is in Kaliningrad, which is separated off mainland Russia by the Suwalki gap (and Belarus but they are already almost russia so,...) so a massive blow to lose the port in Syria IMO.

    Also, flaggstångsknoppstoppspolerare?

  • rule when .ml simps for putin
  • French:

    A beautiful man:

    Un <= masculin (A)

    Homme <= masculin (Man)

    So the adjective should be masculine, right?

    But as homme 1) starts with a H and the word does not have nordic descent, it's not the masculine 'beaux' but feminine :

    Un bel homme.

    But not belle eh, just bel (they obviously sound exactly the same).

    Because, it sounds better.

    Which language was stupid now again?

    It's crazy humanity can communicate at all.

  • Using old filaments

    Hello,

    I put my homemade 3D printer in the garage when I moved 2 years ago, the filaments I had were maybe 2 years old and worked well.

    I bulk bought them on aliexpress or maybe alibaba.

    Now, the printer needs a refreshing, a bit of all kind of electrical & mechanical stuff and also figuring out how to run it from my new computer, and I wonder if I should buy some new filament so that I won't have to care about any old filament problems or what do you think? Is my filament dead or maybe ok?

    Thanks!

    Edit: thank you all!

    I'll go with buy a new high quality one to get everything up and running, and then I'll check out the quality of the old spools. Who are stored open, but in a airtight box with a kilo of, now grey, alibaba deciccant pellets.

    Can you clear the Lemmy Connect cache? [Solved]

    Hello all!

    My phone started to be low on "disk" space, and Connects cache eats up 23.5GB so I checked but couldn't find any way how to clear it.

    So can you, without like uninstall+ reinstall ?

    Edit: thank you rubber-🦆

    F-Droid -> DiskUsage -> helps you open the correct config page to clear caches, super easy peasy.

    Automod on lemmy world

    Hello everyone!

    Sometimes when I post on lemmy.world I get an automod post saying my comment was removed for civility.

    Sure, maybe I treated someone a russian bot or a comrade, but I don't think I'm very un civilized, so I'd like to know what was it that crossed the line.

    So I'd like to know which post was actually removed, is there a way? I'm on Connect and I have clicked all over the automod post without success... it just states a post was removed.

    Also, I see no post being removed (could have missed that ofc)?

    Cheers

    Decentralization @lemmy.world Valmond @lemmy.world
    Tenfingers sharing protocol

    Hello and thanks for making this community!

    I would like to ask a question, I'm the creator of the Tenfingers sharing protocol, and a decentralised FOSS implementation of it.

    You can basically have a decentralised web site or share data with anyone.

    Would it be appropriate to post asking for help here? Testing and ideas for the future mostly I guess.

    Cheers
