I recently moved from an old Ubuntu MATE to Debian Trixie Cinnamon with 2.0 UI scaling and had the same problem. I overrode this with the environment variable GDK_SCALE=1 for GIMP and was able to more-or-less duplicate the previous compactn

I used put my finger halfway to the object, look at my finger until the crossed images in the background converge, then remove my finger and let my eyes stay in the same spot. Now I can do it without the finger.

Have you tried 360nm LED? The higher orbitals drop faster or so I've been told.

I have a pile of Nikon CoolPix 950 (1999) mostly cheap from eBay, along with tele, wide, 183° fisheye lenses, and IR filters. It started with a pro photo friend who had upgraded and I went for the complete set. 1600x1200 pixels is plenty! T

Totall ok! As soon as the program does what I want, and my task is complete, I stop developing. Software is not my hobby.

Yes! My `,pv` is approximately: (probably a better way to make the k, but I stop once something is adequate; maybe I just need to make a `,,kof`) tar cpS "$@" --sort=name | pv -bratpes $(du -cks "$@"|sed -n '&

Why use AA batteries? It's so hard to zap yourself with them. At least with a 9V battery you can lick it to get a sense of how much power is in them. Not that you could extrapolate that other than to get the sense that the electric fie

It's funny... all of the windows on my desktop are fullscreen or halfscreen. The only floating windows are transient dialogs.

Yes that's the idea and I think it is stupid. We should be spreading DNA far and wide instead of sending humans. As much as I am curious about evolution, I am more interested in a deep future full of life.

Hello fellow dc user! I use it as my default calculator and even in shell scripts I'm all "sum=$(echo $a $b + p | dc)" (though it is usually a much more complex expression of course) I still have my HP48SX RPN calculator too

The € penny still exists but here in NL every cash transaction is rounded to the nearest €0.05. I make less than one cash transaction a month, so this whole conversation seems a bit silly.

I'm looking forward to trying this indeed. I'm wondering if the use of wcwdith() will improve my luck with using UTF-8 characters in my caption and hardstatus lines. I'd like to be using nerdfonts in there but it just makes a

I've only noticed Shopify behind one of the online vendors I use and it has the worst recurring order management UX I have ever seen. Is it that this vendor has set it up badly or is Shopify yet another case of worst in class market do

Could this be used to prevent me from clicking on or tapping the wrong thing because new items keep appearing causing a reflow just as I jab? I would really appreciate it if pages would render after they have made up their mind.
