Just set up my (private) server and looking for others out there to dabble in the whole federation part of it.

I’m not an artists, so nothing special (or much at all) you can expect on my instance, I’m afraid.

With (US) English localisations of Japanese games (and other pop culture) often losing some important nuance in translation, I wonder if there is some other (European) language where it is done better.

French perhaps?

Would love to hear people's experience on this topic.

(More or less) final version of my mod of the Keyboard.io Model 01 .

I’m very pleased how it turned out especially with the Linear A keycaps :blobaww:

It’s shellac so I’ll likely further improve it as time passes, but this is a very good start :blobBongo:

Just learnt about - a version of for blind and visually-impaired people that relies on much enhanced audio.

One thing I hope will come out of is a renaissance of text(-controlled) adventure games.

I suspect there is potential for in here. Just imagine a text adventure that understands what you want to do. You could also break it in many ways!

Now of you add text-to-speech and speech-to-text, even blind people could have a very similar experience in the game.

Dear @borgmatic ,

I run as root in systemd so I can pull /etc/ as well as /home/.

But when I borgmatic mount I want to be able to use a graphical file manager.

What is the proper way to do it?

I searched online, I experimented with a few things, and so far no luck.

Not really surprising IMHO too.

In continental Europe many of us were of understanding and position that a is a license within a unilateral contract already for years.

As a reminder, where I'm from a gift is a unilateral contract.

Just learnt that the Internet Archive now has a functionality to diff two versions of the same website.

Super useful for digital archæology :)

Positive surprise of the day that you can use 's in and it will auto-detect the archive format and compression.

e.g. I just uncompressed a bunch of files with:

ark --batch *.7z

I like and use it a lot, but it pays to know its limitations:

That said, I have an extremely limited understanding of the details this blog post describes.

P.S. Still hoping for an renaissance.

I need some 🇨🇵 help.

I recently bought St. Marc Lessive Multi-usages on a whim, because I needed some laundry detergent and it was in the same shelf in the shop.

After reading the label back home, it talks about cleaing all sorts of stuff ...except laundry.

Can I use it to wash clothes, and if so how. (They are not aluminium)

118 has local, in-browser machine translations. That’s pretty freaking cool!

Remember the experimental engine “of the future” that was making?

It’s not dead! In fact, it was re-activated as a project and is being actively developed with the goal in mind to “provide an independent, modular, embeddable web rendering engine, allowing developers to deliver content and applications using web standards. ”

I wish it a bright future! There is hope! 😻

@niccolove , you mentioned gestures and a new overview in Plasma 6, do you have anything more to share on that topic already?

I just tried GNOME (have been on KDE since 1.x) and love the overview and three-finger gestures there.

Dear lazyweb,

Does anyone have any experience to share about this ?

I wonder if anyone made a (or other ) mouse or trackball with more (programable) buttons.

My current daily driver mouse is a Roccat Kone Pure, but am thinking about trying a trackball. I use a few macros that are stored in the mouse though.
