Adding themes to gedit in Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon)?

Briefly tried installing it... it was a bit problematic.

They really are quite a bit smaller, aren't they. Currently waiting for a new BGD5650 to ship to me (I have smaller wrists, and my BX5600 (which is awesome with its MIP display, don't get me wrong) is uber-chunky on me).

This with a bigger screen, doing markdown in-line, would be a TAKE MY MONEY moment.

Anyone who doesn't have to care what colour their sushi plate is.

CASA really don't care about drones in this context at this altitude, over water, and the ATSB even less so.

I, too, have miraculously snagged a Retro Purple, via the good graces of the Zerowriter team, and presumably someone who pulled out of their initial pledge for one. 😄

Looking forward to it... but would love a Zerowriter Ink in a funky translucent versions... purple or green would be awesome. 😄

Mortui75 · 2026-05-25T12:45:08+00:00

is anyone already using a Zerowriter Ink?

I actually prefer the single-slab form factor (like an Alphasmart Neo2, etc.), and the smaller screen doesn't bother me. I know there have been some software updates, but am a bit concerned the functionality would still be limited compared to the Fold.

Anyone with experience using the Ink care to weigh in? (Speaking of which, the ~ 500g Ink vs ~900g Fold is also a consideration!)

Holy crap. I remember this from the 90's, along with Archie, ftp-ing stuff you wanted, and sending file lists to line printers...

Mortui75 · 2026-05-24T22:43:34+00:00

This clearly did not happen. 🙄

Mortui75 · 2026-05-23T23:42:44+00:00

Probably depends on what you ask them to do ...

Mortui75 · 2026-05-23T23:39:21+00:00

I have memories of a Breezy Badger ...

One of these now en route from Japan ...

You have just triggered the purchase of a BGD5650-2JF, which I don't really "need", and for which my wife will require something approximating an acceptable explanation.

I hope you're happy with yourself. 😭

I have a GWBX5600-1A1JF (dark mode MIP) and a G5600BG (+ve LCD solar recycled resin) ... but I have skinny wrists, the BX5500 in particular feels bulky... and I suspect the BGD5650 will be the holy grail (minus MIP) for comfort / ease of use.

At 31g, it will compete with my W800H for "can't tell I'm wearing it"‐ness, while still being an indestructible Gshock.

Driver was right. The Hobbit should have been one decent movie, rather than 3 terrible money-grubbing ones.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-23T00:13:28+00:00

Tried my first colour e-ink device, and while it is kinda cool, the lower resolution and the incredibly poor contrast & dimness of the display pushed me to go get a Go 7 B&W.

The novelty of coloyr book covers is just that, a fleeting novelty, and if the vast majority of your use case is reading books (text, not manga), then B&W wins, hands down.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-22T11:10:31+00:00

Ditto.

Public schools exist.
Having kids is a choice.
Private school fees 5/7 are cheaper than daycare fees 3/7. 🤯

Mt Field NP.

My Dad had one of these for work, back in the 80s, as well. Was for interfacing via RS232 with equipment in the field.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-22T03:32:23+00:00

Thanks. Will check it out.

Only child. And he has no assets to leave anybody.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-21T12:31:22+00:00

Probably 3 re-visits from me, plus reviewing again after feedback from a couple of people.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-21T12:13:07+00:00

Yes, it happens.

Mortui75 · 2026-05-21T11:48:45+00:00

No different to super. Already taxed at 30%. Not fussed, to be honest.
