@Triffen Possibly if you forcibly close the app and restart it? I wonder whether your app is caching those kinds of settings instead of keeping them in sync with whatever you set in other apps.

@Triffen It works for me, however if you are using the web client you may want to refresh that tab and see if that causes it to take effect.

One use case for a phone+lapdock as a personal laptop that I didn't consider when I wrote this blog post last year (https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-year-of-librem-5-convergence/) was that because you can swap between docked and undocked states without powering off the phone or closing applications, you can also swap between *lapdocks* without losing state.

Where would you use this? Maybe at conferences? Imagine if you owned more than one lapdock and swapped to a fully-charged one when the other one drained. #Librem5 #lapdock

@Kymberly I should add that there are exceptions. Some projects (weft-faced projects and rugs in particular) call for very high warp tension. In that case you are better off using rug warp which was designed specifically for that purpose and has high tensile strength.

@johnefrancis Yeah I can't wait until I can get to that point. I have an envelope full of punch cards.

@Kymberly You can use regular knitting wool, even loosely spun, as weft. I weave with knitting wool all the time (my local yarn store caters more to knitters). For weft almost anything goes.

You can use it as warp too, just try to pick yarn with more twist that doesn't immediately pull apart when you tug on a sample. I have even used a local worsted, almost homespun, wool as warp, I just made sure it was under less tension.

@johnefrancis It really does look like some crazy synth or autoharp!

@Crybaby Thank you! I wove it on a four harness floor loom without any branding on it that I got for free from Craigslist and was told it was from the 1950s. This is a wide and reinforced floor loom made to handle rugs.

But you wouldn't need anything this elaborate to make a twill scarf like that. A rigid heddle loom with three heddles could do it. Floor looms are fun though!

The Knitking KK93 knitting machine is set up and I've done a few sample rows. Everything seems to work, so I think the next step is to pick a simple knitting machine project and make it. It will probably be awhile before I advance to programming it with its punch cards. #knitting #machineknitting

@yaelwrites Why keep the sticker when you can let it go?

@hacks4pancakes My own Trek knowledge isn't deep or broad enough to do the whole song justice, but I will contribute:

10 Warps a Leaping

@hacks4pancakes This is begging for a Star Trek-themed 12 days of Christmas.

@nitrokey Congratulations!

I have finished all of the gifts I had planned to weave for this holiday season, which means the next project is completely up to me!

I think I'm actually going to try out the Brother knitting machine I got for free last month, but have been too busy weaving to set up. #knitting #machineknitting

@katherined Hope you are having a great birthday! Looks like it's off to a good start!

@katherined For now! AI is coming for my non-paying parody job!

@golemwire I honestly don't know, it's just something that I find my brain doing automatically when someone says something that triggers a song in my mind. This one was triggered by someone referring to Mastodon as "Tootville".
