To add some more math that infid to help my own brain

Those rounded Freedom Units equal identical Cubic Inches... They're the same volume.

Using the Socialism Units, the PS2 is ~ 300 cubic centimeters larger (roughly the volume of a 6.7cm cube)

(I think the number of iterations of rounding that we've collectively performed here has somewhat skewed the results, but it's pretty close at any rate)

Edit imndoing math in DDG search and it might be 186 cubic centimeters so 5.7cm tall cube, but that seems like a huge variation and now I'm questioning my ability to calculate volume. But it's late on a Fri and my brain is fried.

    Ah yeah I got ya. Thinking about it, having AppImage manager (and one that keeps things updated) would be pretty nice.

    I actually have Autonomix b ikmarked to try, it promises to do similar. I currently use deb-get for deb package management but I winter something less tied to deb

    I'm not sure I really understand this. I mean I understand the goal, but do we not have that without the manager piece?

    So like I have a folder called AppImages. I right-click properties allow exec. I make a menu launcher.

    I can now move that folder to a new PC, and ... Maybe this is where it shines?... I don't have to right click on each and I don't have to make launchets for each (or clone the menu folder i guess).

    Or does it like ... Check for newer versions or something? What am I missing?

    I strongly prefer AppImages for a number of reasons so I'm all about having something useful for them.

  • This is how we end up with R5-10, which will soon be another sign that specifies e-bikes (and perhaps we need multiple discrete signs). We had a no phone use sign, then we needed no texting (or no mobile). The signage just hasn't caught up.

    But it gets even weirder when you're talking about not even a roadway - so then signage changes between jurisdictions.

    I tend to err on the side of caution, but dollars to donuts there's enough ambiguity in that signage you're thinking about where you can't really be ticketed because you can win the argument in court. What results is lack of enforcement (which is another legal defense in and of itself).

    PS IDK if it's overthinking. This is the kind of stuff I think about lol (and apparently we've found our people)

    R9-3, R9-13, R9-14, R9-15, R9-16, R5-2, R8-3, R9-3, R14-5, R9-4

    R9-4 has an R9-4a where it's words, and I'd bet you that's because someone argued in court that the former bans giving thumbs up, not holding up a hitchhiking sign.

    Do Not Enter has words but that's just extra lettering overlaid on a universal pictogram sign.

    there is no "most" in american signs for common/universal things like skateboarding, swimming, smoking, etc. For almost every every "No" sign that exists, there exists a counterpart "slash" sign. Add to that not every "no" sign is a roadway sign (eg no smoking)

    There is a legal difference between Parking, Standing, and Idling a vehicle. Not every jusrisdiction has distinct bans for each, so there isn't a universal way to represent each. You also need qualifiers - any time, or certain hours, or either side of the street, so you get those signs with words.

    You can't really do a picto for "No commercial vehicles". I suppose we could do a picto for No Thru Traffic. I could also see that you can do "No Pedestrians Bicycles Motor-driven Cycles" with 3 pictograms (IMO more than like 3 words on a road sign is just a bad idea)

  • In selection 2, you don't seem to be selecting an image. You're selecting text.

    In method 1, it's doing OCR. In method 2, its just reading the raw text data you selected. This is how you can copy text from thing A and Font A, and paste it into thing B with font B (depending on Thing B's paste settings)

    Hey I resemble that journey. Very few people metion DSL and Puppy. Those lived on a multiboot flash drive I carry around "JIC" (these days I just bring Mint and Tails).

    I just commented elsewhere how Mint became home - that "long as you like" is still going (jeez 8y at this point lol).

    I was gonna say that "and put effort into" is important.

    I admin various Linux Servers, been through most distros at work and at home. I'm an experienced Linux admin/user. I'm settled on Mint at home for the foreseeable future.

    After a long day/week/career doing IT, the last thing I want is for my primary PC to be a project-home. Mint Cinnamon ended up being the home I fell in love with - honestly was expecting it to be another kitchy distro that I would maybe reccommend for noobs (I mean it is also that). I couldn't be happier - LMDE is the only thing that makes me wonder about greener grass.

    I haven't gotten to 95% perfect since Ubuntu pre-unity, and that one very long Arch build I did that one time. Even Debian, the home I grew up in, wasn't the home I wanted to live in forever.

    No shade on any other Distros/DEs out there. Everyone has different homes and it's their home and I love that people have them and that they're all different, and I want many options to keep existing. Past me would not understand present me's choices.

    Maybe there's already a way to do this but say I search something in a search engine in mobile browser and get a result of a Lemmy Post which now opens in my mobile browser.

    I now want to view that post in Summit. What's a good way for me to do that?

    If there's already a trick I'd appreciate a pointer. Otherwise a "go to location" search/text box somewhere in the app would be nice to paste into

    This is by far my favorite reader app BTW. Stellar work.
