We can't set an avatar for ourselves! It gives this error:

{"data":{"msg":"exiftool Failed with signal: 13 (SIGPIPE)","files":null},"state":"success"}

Update: This applies to all images, not just account pictures. Also the community icon on the right is broken, too!

alt rule by forestbeasts in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[-] forestbeasts@pawb.social 1 points 8 months ago

Our right alt key is used as altgr, so we have to use that one for "third level" special characters, and the left alt for shortcuts! It's rather annoying; I kind of miss the Mac way of doing it where both alts were for both special characters and shortcuts.

Stripped laptop screw, tried cutting a slot with a dremel, botched it. Any ideas? by forestbeasts in c/tech@pawb.social

Hmm. We don't actually have a drill, and it looks rather expensive (by our standards) to get one.

Poop.

But there's a makerspace somewhat nearby and I bet they have drills. Maybe they even have a screw extractor set on hand. We should pop over there.

Not sure if this is the place for hardware repair stuff, but can't find a community for that, so... yeah.

It looks like the dremel slot is too wide for a screwdriver to catch on. (And also ow, marred the back panel. Not much we can do about that.)

Might try the rubber band thing? That's another trip to the store, but fortunately rubber bands are pretty cheap...

(the laptop works fine, we just want to upgrade the SSD)
