@RL_Dane Two E560s here, one Windows, one Linux, both with SSDs bought off eBay and installed in place of the HDD. Still work fine! Keyboards and batteries are also cheap for these. Like the 1990s Toyota of laptop.
Keyb 1: Yes, I have weep holes, but that doesn't mean you can VIGOROUSLY wash me under the sink!
Keyb 2: THAT'S NOT HOW YOU REMOVE A KEYCAP!
Keyb 3: Ok, these things are getting harder to source. Better be gentle. 😆
Since I bought a beefy battery for my X260, I might see what the most advanced model it works on is and buy one of those as my general daily-driver Linux box
BUT when I use i3lock/swaylock, it's off-center which is frustrating in a very #ADHD way (see screenshot)
How would I go about cropping the image to make it centered? I mean, so that the little circular login indicator thingie is centered right on the innermost triangle?
Ah, well, I'm not if this method is the simplest / best but it's how I would go about it:
Add a new layer, click on rectangular select tool and set size to screen size
Click on image ensuring entire rectangle fits on screen then fill with white (or w/e) then crop the layer to selection; set layer opacity to 50% so you can see image below
Add another layer and use pencil tool to draw a small mark then crop the layer to content
EDIT: Just for clarity, I'm expressing surprise that an android app would have lossy PNG as an option, not at the idea of pre-compressing a PNG to make it lossy (generally by reducing the number of colors, but also by doing things like pixellating unimportant regions of an image, such as a desktop wallpaper). All techniques I enjoy using, as well.
#CalyxOS has an alternate battery usage screen I can use, but I haven't been able to get a full charge in several days so I can't trust those numbers yet.
You are correct „G” stands for GEOM. The rest is to be discovered (it doesn’t stand for Encryption Layer Interface). It’s been twenty years and I still didn’t get the right answer:)
Next #Gemini project: make a gemini version of the #KingJamesBible (already been done), but then make a version filtered through my kjvfilter (https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/kjvfilter) sed script to update some of the language. It's a VERY alpha-quality script and is not super-well vetted, but that's half the fun.
@RL_Dane ha!! For some reason I’ve got you in the back of my head as “geek but not a full time programmer” and yet you remembered the absolute classic Dijkstra “considered harmful” meme worthy paper, which has left me rather impressed 😂
