@ompaul Yes but first I have to be very sure that a change was actually made somewhere (and this depends on where focus lands) -- otherwise I would be undoing something I didn't want to undo!

(and it's possible none of this is #LibreOffice's fault -- maybe #Wayland could be to blame? It happens most often upon switching back to the window after being somewhere else)

Ask me how many times a day I get burned by the #LibreOffice race-ish condition where I hit C-f and then start typing but the C-f handler doesn't leap into action until after the other keystrokes have been processed as normal input, so I end up accidentally replacing the contents of a spreadsheet cell that I also can't easily find because where was focus...and then the cursor jumps to the search box.

Always a bummer when there's a cool thing for a while, which then inspires a formal organization to run/lead the cool thing, and then the formal organization ends up messing up the cool thing. (NaNoWriMo "closing down") https://lithub.com/nanowrimo-is-shutting-down/

Do we really not have bipartisan and public consensus for "you can't pardon anyone who gave you 6 figures in campaign contributions"?

@eighthave Enable developer mode, then in settings search for Linux terminal.

Currently installing the #Debian VM on my #CalyxOS Pixel. So excited!

(Probably) proving once again that the biggest security issues with encrypted communication are the persons using it.

@paradoxmo Well, other way, the Realo has the H-M, the Pro Gear has the M. And the nibs feel very different. I'm wondering if the H-M has been ground/modified, and also wondering if the M is a fake (but I like it better..)! I haven't yet tested with identical ink.

@paradoxmo Okay, that's what I thought, I'm understanding now that the pen that I thought had the updated nib markings actually has the older ones, which is surprising to me based on when I purchased it.

What does it mean if I have a Sailor Pro Gear 21k #fountainpen with just "M" on the nib, vs one (Realo 1911) that has "H-M"? I thought all of Sailor's Ms these days were H-Ms..? The M was bought within the last 5 years; the H-M I have no way of knowing but the other nib markings look contemporary.

Got my first vendor/distributor email about a tariff driven price increase. Here we go.

Trying to understand the ramifications of living jn a world where we have not only tequila bottle dog toys but *reposado* tequila bottle dog toys. I just hope it's not over-oaked.

@mlinksva After posting I also remembered that I did in fact enroll in an Astronomy course in undergrad to fulfill a general ed requirement, but barely went. To think of all the pedantic corrections I could've been making in conversations all these years. Happy to learn "asterism" though.

TIL that the Big and Little Dippers are not constellations. Quality liberal arts education I had.

I think they have a point here and I'm glad that someone, anyone, is pushing against #Apple's "unapproved apps still need to be approved" stance. The sort of one-and-a-half party approach to third-party distribution.
