we fortunately never get any in Glasgow 🙏 Though I went to Loch Lomond when it was sunny a few weeks ago, and did my hike in record time bc whenever I wanted to sit down to rest a bit, some blood-sucking flies started circling around me 😅
Cold weather is all about actually dressing appropriately. Every person I’ve ever heard bitch and moan about it are never dressed appropriately. With the right clothing, you can be comfortable at most any low temperature (obviously, extremely low temperatures require specialized clothing/equipment).
This. I visited Helsinki for the first time last winter, and we arrived just after the peak of a cold wave (between -11 and -21°C day and night). We went with proper layers so we were all right, but the next day on the small free walking tour there was an Indian guy who was only wearing a thin jacket like I would wear around +5°C. The poor dude was shivering and visibly miserable the whole time, so the tour guide made sure to add a few more indoor stops than usual where he could thaw a bit.
definitely not the case in Scotland 😄
I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.
Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…
Literally everyone is one accident, illness, or old age away from being disabled in some way.
yeah I was surprised to come across the statistic that in the UK about quarter of the population has some kind of disability (defined as “a physical or mental health condition or illness that has lasted or is expected to last 12 months or more, and which condition and/or illness reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities”)
wow what country do you live in? in the UK all microwave instructions I’ve seen are for 800-900W
in the UK all my microwaves had this starting from the early 2010s
yup, quite a few people managed to kill themselves trying to burn wood with electricity:
wow and it doesn’t let you disable this behaviour? must be so annoying
my mind is blown, but not in a good way 🤣
yeah this may be an actual use case
Hmm thanks, but yea a word editor would probably be missing a ton of layout and image features. The closest I’ve found was Scribus but it seems pretty rough.
Yes, I tried Inkscape, but sadly found its UI very unintuitive. Also bc it only works with SVG files, it doesn’t properly support CMYK colours.
I know of Krita, but I mostly use Photoshop for image editing, not painting. And it’s the one of the three I use the rarest and has the most alternatives, so my main pain points are the other two, as long as the three programs work well together. (Which is another weakness in FLOSS software, they don’t tend to come in “suites”. Not to say that Adobe apps don’t have a ton of little inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies, but at least they can smoothly work with each other’s files.)
My main concern would be how to prevent tampering with archived pages - the owner of the second most popular site after Wayback Machine, archive.is, has been known to modify the content of archived pages for petty personal reasons. And without the sanctity of archives, the whole exercise loses its value as proof of records of the past.
software with 1:1 feature parity with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (except genAI crap)
Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.
I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.
