Proud to be Antifa, like my grandfather, who was killed fighting fascism in WWII, and was posthumously awarded the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.

@brouhaha @AMS @gsuberland Ph and maybe, if not much more effort, if you go for 16 instead of 15 Amps. This is was Schuko (and the french polarized variant of it) is rated for and most circuit breakers here are rated.

@brouhaha @jaseg @23n27 Can confirm, commercial microwaves are usually Just Better in my experience. The ones I've seen even have a stirrer "fan" instead of a turntable, so you can actually cook things that are rectangular in them without needing the microwave to be absolutely gigantic.

@brouhaha this comes from my good friend @landonnoll who knew Adams. Did you know that building 42 at google HQ (used to be another building, maybe SGI but I forgot) has hidden very well a copy of #H2G2 with drawings (I think that) and other things? Landon was asked to tease them for not being able to find it. There is very much more to that story but it's always made me laugh. I think it's sad (so I heard) how the US publisher (how surprising ...) changed a certain word to 'Belgium' though.

@Raffzahn @brouhaha best wishes on temp .. we get high 40s but we now (I'm sure you know why) get humidity that's not very low. Thankfully we also have air con. Stay hydrated! Tip (even though you did not ask!): if it gets unbearable wear a wet shirt in front of a fan (though wear a shirt that you don't care about because wet shirts worn can stretch them). I've done that when doing things that would make me hot and the air was not on. Stay hydrated!

@brouhaha THIS is the perfect use case for a time machine. We go back to 1985 and you can introduce me and then we talk and take him out to dinner.

@brouhaha Oh wow - what an opportunity! I guess 1985 was still a little early in his general fame… sci-fi fans would have known him, but the general audience might have not caught on yet.

"Only a man with an unparalleled ignorance of history such as Donald Trump would have signed America’s peace treaty with Iran at Versailles, the byword for national humiliation."

"And only a man with an impish sense of humour such as Emmanuel Macron would have suggested it."

"It is easy to cast Trump in the role of the humiliated & hurt German count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau."

Iran peace deal makes clear how far US has been forced to retreat since 2025

Plan is admission US could not achieve what it sought through war as red line after red line has been erased

It is high time Google gets smashed into pieces small enough these dipshits can't cause any more harm.

Some dipshit on the Android team managed to come up with *yet another* way of enshittification by removing the dedicated button for switching between keyboard apps in Android 15. There is now a switching menu that can be selected by holding the space button pressed for a long time, but not only is that slower the the dedicated button, but not all keyboard apps *have* a space button.

Can you recommend an image viewer (not editor) for Linux that can handle very large images? By very large I mean something like 44Kx16K pixels with files of over 150-160 MB. The native Linut Mint viewer Eog, Pix, and Qimgv can't handle such images.

Update: found a good tool, Geeqie.

Finally got off my ass and listed my ThinkPad P14s and RAM for sale. Following neighbor's advice, listed for more money than I actually want for it. ("This isn't England or America!", he said.) Apparently in Ireland you're expected to do a little dance where you ask an absurd price and then the prospect offers you a sub-reasonable price and then you both settle on market price; and if you do indeed list for market price, you'll still be expected to give a 15% discount. Okay...
