family: When you have a cartridge/converter pen, do you prefer using a converter or a reusable cartridge?

I've generally found converters to be more kind to me, i don't need to have anything extra to fill it up and cleaning it is very simple.

@timelordiroh converters are easier, but I have a syringe and can refill cartridges. I've got a couple older pens with cartridge sizes I don't have converters for, too.

@blabberlicious @ernie I can't even tell you why people wanted to invest $6B in this thing that loses $58M per quarter, which they surely knew

turgon,
@turgon@dosgame.club avatar

@ernie unsure. the SPAC basically handed him billions of dollars in prospective value via stock. he can lose nearly all of that in stock price terms and still personally cash out positive. meanwhile the company itself may run at a loss but it now has a massive cash reservoir so brace for a few more years of "truth"

I might be wrong due to unfamiliarity with SPACs and lots of unclear reporting on amounts and ownership and details, but that's my read

It's weird to me why companies like Uber or Airbnb or Spotify are considered "tech companies".

What tech do they develop? Their own app & website? By that logic any modern business is a tech company.

Hell, even schools or libraries have websites and apps. Are they tech companies? Of course not. It just makes no sense.

Uber does taxis. Airbnb does amateur hotels. Spotify does music. The fact they use tech to make that happen doesn't matter, literally everyone does that in the 21st century.

@Tijn tbh it's probably just how the companies operate. they incorporate as app builders and take a lot of vc cash and make no profits for years like pre 2010 tech companies did

    Today I bought my first #fountainpen since decades and it shall be one of my daily drivers from now on.

    It's a #Kaweco #Lilliput stainless steel fine.

    However, due to my advanced #PIM processes, I rarely write things down on #paper.

    I'd love to do so much more if there would be a great #FOSS solution for offline #handwriting #OCR. That would be a great investment by the #stationery industry! 🤔

    It still offers better solutions compared to my #Boox #NoteAir #eink tablet.

    My Faber Castell pencil, my Fisher space pen and the Lilliput by Kaweco. The latter two are for being available through my trousers pockets while being away from my computer. I use the pencil for short term notes captured on paper.

    I’ve been using Platinum Carbon Black a lot in the past few weeks, as I started a new notebook in which it’s one of the few inks that works well. This is the first time since I started using where I have used a black ink on a regular basis. But… it’s kind of nice? I didn’t expect that. I like the high contrast of black on cream paper.

    I’m definitely not giving up my colors, but I seem to have developed a new appreciation for black, it’s classic for a reason.

    The problem I find with modern, substack/ghost-style email lists is the effort associated with each email. A half-dozen posts on my TL is a light day; a half-dozen emails takes brain space: is this worth reading? am I going to get halfway through before being nagged convert to paid? etc
