@foone I feel like the cool crab is a reference I'm missing??? I tried doing a search, but 95% of the results are posts from you without any explanation???
@lukeshu okay so:
The cool crab is a bit of clipart from Print Shop Deluxe. It's just an amusing image. The youtuber Lazy Game Reviews has featured it in several videos, and I've also adopted it as a sort of mascot.
There's really not any sort of meaning behind it. It's just a bit of funny clipart someone at Broderbund someone drew back in 1993
Trump ist ein Faschist, der buchstäblich in jeder seiner Antworten gelogen hat, Nonsens von sich gibt & und dessen Amtszeit dazu führen könnte, dass die Demokratie in den USA zugrunde geht, aber Biden ist bisschen tattrig, also wer weiß, wen von beiden man wählen sollte?!?!
Wer sind diese Leute, die da auf Sylt aus Versehen der ganzen Welt gezeigt haben, was sie denken, wenn sie sich sicher fühlen? Wer sind diese Leute? Dieser Frage hartnäckig uns seriös nachzugehen, ist eine ECHTE journalistische Herausforderung und eine Recherche, an der hoffentlich bereits jemand mit guten Nerven und Jurist*innen arbeitet ...
@janboehm
Schlägt sich gut gegen immer wiederkehrende Fragen. Natürlich hat sie das Talent, das jedesmal in andere Worte zu packen. Sie bekommt die gleiche Antwort und versucht es mit der nächsten Unterstellung. Diese sog. Skandale sind vor Wahlen zu erwarten. Blöd simmer ja nicht als Otto-Normal-Publikum.
@foone not yet, I’ve just been noodling so far, but I’m gonna try and get it done very soon. It occurred to me to include as part of a completely different project of converting that old keyboard I like into one that can connect via Bluetooth and ideally represent itself as at least 3, but maybe an arbitrary number of separate keyboards, so I can connect it to all of my (BT supporting) computers and switch between them. Adding the Pi while I’m in there anyhow just seemed logical somehow. There’s plenty of room inside for the pi and the esp32 I’m planning to use for the Bluetooth part.
@mattgrayyes At least the toot printer at #GPN22 is working, blowing toots all over the hackcenter as they are written. (Some people try and catch their own toots here ^^)
@arstechnica Really convenient how banning masks will also help de-anonymize protesters. No way that's their main goal, governments always push for the safety of protesters.
What depresses me most about the state of the world at present is that we've stopped caring to live up to the spirit of our ideals.
When we fail them and are pressed, we can rationalize our terrible actions based on technicalities - and large swaths of our culture have normalized doing this very thing.
It is my most sincere hope that we can walk our way back from this. I see some signs of this, but would prefer to see many more.

I just finished an engrossing biography of Nero, and left with the impression that it’s either always been thus or that things like this are somewhat cyclical.
I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:
I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.
I could go down the long rabbithole of figuring out how to call g*mp's image manipulation tools from a commandline or API, or getting imagemagick installed on this PC and figuring out how to port it over there...
or I could be silly and take advantage of the fact that I'm applying gamma ramps to an 8-bit greyscale image. What's the difference between the "before" and "after" images? a different palette.
