That's it, time for a strudel session

Wanna make a strudel or two, dunno how apples will do in the baking process though (I have never eaten them like this and am a bit afraid), maybe will look for non-apple variants

Oh, I don't have an oven yet throws the idea on the pile of adhd-born ideas

  • The most risky part will be getting proper estradiol powder, but it probably won't be too bad.

    You can follow a recipe for making gel, do know that carbomer can be frustrating to work with, you'll need to learn how to handle it.

    You can also forgo the gel-making things and leave it as a liquid.

  • Pill me on the ThinkPad plus Linux combo.
  • You press it with a little bit of force (just to have the finger not slip away) and then move in some direction, the cursor will follow. Usability ranges from "fun gimmick" to "I have heavy gloves, the nipple is my only mouse input"

  • Pill me on the ThinkPad plus Linux combo.
  • Older models are sturdy (IBM ones are very robust but are also too old), probably better with replacement parts availability.

    Two-battery models, like X230-X270 models (and others) can have a lot of battery power put into them. Mine has 72Wh external + 24Wh internal, and I can hotswap the external one, so if I want to I can buy a second 72Wh battery to style on everyone else.

    Generally good Linux support, but do look specifically how well whatever you are buying is supported.

    edit: the models I mentioned don't seem to have magnesium alloy chassis, so while they might look like a close range weapon, you probably shouldn't use them that way.

  • OnePlus 6/6T has great support (which means that it is missing camera and USB power output functionality and is more unstable than desired), isn't locked down too much (you need to backup some partitions and you can go ham after that), and is powerful (it is a 2018 flagship phone with Snapdragon 845) - it is currently one of the best options for mobile Linux. It has good enough support to even boot Windows.

    There is postmarketOS support for op6, yes, but I am firmly a NixOS cultist. Plus there's a one-year-old blogpost on this topic.

    Right now I am trying to make some nixos boot on it, which I can use as an installer.

  • This is actually pretty smart.
  • The first link for "Trump porn ban" is NPR's "the dems are using porn ads to convince Trump voters to stay home"

    Not exactly an effective strategy when it is revealed to the target audience like that

  • I am continuing to tinker with having nixos on a oneplus 6, in spite of adhd hahaha

    Just need to get it to boot successfully, and from that it'll be much easier, writing out config and resolving the issues as they appear

  • What is this bullshit? (the text at the top)
  • one conversation I had with a tanker

    de-authority: Lots of feeligs. Feel it up, way up.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: "Oh my god! TALKING TO TANKER?! Is that what you just said to me? I can't BELIEVE you were talking to a tanker!"

    de-authority: You're saying it really loud, but it's not coming out right. Maybe add more indignation?

    lt-dbyf-dubois: "So you have just... just... taken this tanker that was at the docks and TALKED to it, right?!" (Point at the sea, where the tanker is located.) "Engage in political discussion with a tanker right there in front of a cargo crane, because you wanted to? In the HARBOUR?!"

    de-authority: More.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: "RIGHT THERE IN THE HARBOUR?!"

    de-authority: MORE.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: "GIVING DOCKWORKERS A LITTLE... DOCKS-LIB-SHIP-TALK-SHOW?!"

  • How is it being trans in eastern europe ?
  • Besides the bad attitudes, there's no way to change the gender marker in the documents... at least meds are easy to get, that makes it slightly better, but for those who couldn't change the documents before the ban staying in the country isn't a comfortable option.

  • Anybody else finding invidious is really struggling these days?
  • Wait it's not only me? I thought RU authorities were blocking them... I quess it's not them, but something else

    madeline-sadeline Invidious is the only way I can see images in community posts, and I used invidious all the time instead of youtube, sad to see that the servers are struggling

    Last time I checked there was an issue with YT's newest ways to break compatibility, and no servers were carrying the fix at that time, so I just went to YT (in private tabs always) with distracting elements deleted from the pages via ublock origin

  • I got IEMs as recommended previously and they are great

    Here's the post that made me research everything I could about IEMs for the next several days.

    I ended up getting Truthear Hexa - they are said to perform exceptionally well for their price, even accounting for their date of release (IEMs are improving sound quality to price ratio every year). The only two things that I was somewhat wary of are that their nozzle that goes into the ear is bigger than usual and that people were describing them as "boring" and "somewhat lacking bass" (which is not actually a problem when equalizers exist and the user does not use iphones).

    After getting the ears somewhat acclimated to wearing IEMs I tried different random tracks. Turns out that the tuning was perfect for me - similar to what I set on over-ear headphones, even (which are bluetooth headsets with ANC, and so have pretty usual tuning). Of course I could hear small details that went unnoticed before, Hexas are great at that.

    Then I put on a track that extensively utilised sub-bass. Hexas do NOT lack sub-bass. They also render it good. I both hear and feel the music as it reverberates through my head. I feel the texture. To lesser degree it extends to regular bass, too, and it does not dominate the rest of the frequencies, nor does it lack.

    I legit have changed what music I listen to because of this.

    The only complaint is about stock eartips. Silicone ones hurt the ears, so I used foam, then got Dunu S&S. Now I almost don't feel that the IEMs are inserted, and they don't break the seal when moving the muscles, it's pure bliss.

    Poster for "RSUH against Ilyin School" initiative

    (how did this initiative not appear here already)

    The students of Russian State University for the Humanities, joined by students of other universities, CPRF members (both regular people and deputies), historians and more, are agitating for renaming the Ivan Ilyin Higher Political School on the basis of Ilyin being a fascist.

    Ilyin has been promoted as a "great Russian philosopher" by the state media, and is being defended by that same media, and Dugin, a well-known person with similar views and the director of the Ilyin School.

    The poster is taken from the initiative's Telegram channel, it reads "Comrades, a replacement! [we] Will not give Ilyich in exchange for Ilyin!"
