I like them! They're a nice change of pace. Plus, it's probably a good way to get some early training for Rogue Core.

Honestly, even the Stalker is pretty cool; it's very satisfying to ping.

The one I hate is the sceptic spreader. This one is so dangerous.

If you want a fun rabbit hole to fall into, look up the Hollywood side of this

Like for example how we have to use tiger sounds for lion roars now because it was used once for effect and it worked really well but now people expect that sound out of a lion.

Very interesting dimensions on that thing

Man, forget about culture, this thing's got a straight up society in there.

I'm finally able to draw again, just in time for Pride Month!

Also, here's a reminder that this t-shirt design was made by a fellow queer artist, so do support faer if you can.

Historically, Toulouse had trams for a while, but like many bigger cities, they were removed in profit of cars. However, Toulouse has reintroduced a tram line in 2010 and has been expanding it since. Today, the main line goes from the city center, and goes all the way to the airport's entrance. The secondary line goes further behind the airport, to the exposition center.

Another little factoid: the tram network is integrated into the city's public transit network, which is managed by a single company; it shares several stations with bus stops and subway stations, and tickets from these are all shared. This means that you can hop on the bus, then switch to the tram, then take the subway with a single one-way ticket.

The tale of Chrysippus, and the oldest recorded account of an (alleged) death from laughter.

Here's the relevant part:

He died during the 143rd Olympiad (208–204 BC) at the age of 73. Diogenes Laërtius gives two different accounts of his death. [...] In the second account, he was watching a donkey eat some figs and cried out: "Now give the donkey a drink of pure wine to wash down the figs", whereupon he died in a fit of laughter.

Yep!

When I was in high school, we had temp classrooms made of those while the main building was getting renovated.

Imagine the smell of 30 teenagers spending all day in these.

Cute! It's rare to see ALTTP stuff, this is nice.

Who's the artist?

I bought a V6 and I'm happy with it, but I did not realize it was ANSI and not ISO (or rather, I think I did not realize what it meant until assembly).

That said, I'm a programmer and I need the angle brackets easily accessible. Luckily, in the AZERTY mapping of the ANSI-104 layout, there's a key above Enter that is virtually useless to me as is (shown here as */μ). This is where KC_BACKSLASH would be on the QWERTY mapping.

However, I have been absolutely unable to find a normal way to remap it to both brackets (a key that exists in ISO but not in ANSI).

Here's ideally what I want:

  • Pressing [this */µ key] gives me <
  • Pressing SHIFT + [this */µ key] with Shift gives me >

Here's what I have tried so far:

  • Microsoft's Mouse and Keyboard tool: doesn't recognize non-microsoft keyboards
  • Microsoft's Powertoys tool: doesn't allow 2 shortcuts on the same key
  • VIA: can only remap to ANSI keys
  • VIAL: doesn't even recognize the device as-is, and throws a protocol error when sideloading the JSON.
  • AHK: not ideal but yeah it works

I've only been able to make it work through AutoHotKey. I feel like VIA/L should be the normal solution here, but if so, I have not found how to make it work.

Was there a cleaner way?

EDIT: I was wrong, the "<>" key I was looking for does exist, and as u/PeterMortensenBlog on reddit and @saigot@lemmy.ca here pointed out, it is simply KC_NONUS_BACKSLASH, abbreviated NUBS in VIA.

"CEOs being convinced that remote workers are taking advantage of them"..... Quite the projection huh

Oh what a timing! I actually just got my new pair fitted last week.

Over 10 years ago I got myself some Magnum desert ranger boots (y'know, back when they were still decent), and I finally had to change them this year. The leather was still... alright but everything else was breaking apart bad, so I figured I'd finally replace them.

But like! Magnum is a shit brand now, and all the competitors available here aren't much better, and the only real options for boots in that style are just, super expensive, so at this point I just went to a cobbler to simply remake the same shoes but with better materials and nice colors.

I think they turned out great!
