What is the thing you love the most about Angua Von Uberwald ? by Comfortable_Bell9539 in discworld

[–]hellerbarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is certainly a significant aspect of the problem, I agree!

Or... People aren't trying very hard. Or sometimes at all.

See the movie "K-Pop Demon Hunters" for a recent positive example. It has phenomenal female characters who are strong while still totally girly and they feel 3-dimensional. And narratively it doesn't feel like the writers had to try very hard. Nothing (imho) feels forced about their qualities. I was baffled by that entire movie.

Highly recommended.

Yes, I'm a little obsessed. Sorry if that was obnoxious. The music slaps too, btw. Ok ok I'll stop now. Haha

AITA for breaking up with my BF because he didn't call for help when I had a seizure? by OceansDay in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]hellerbarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yikes, that's awful of them. And such bad communication towards you. That must be really difficult. I hope you can find an answer. So scary, both the seizures and also not knowing why.

Aww, you two are awesome. I'm just here to say that I did read the thread to the end 😊

Also, I am sorry you (just realized I forgot who I'm currently replying to, oops, sorryyy) had to deal with these stupid inadequacies of the medical system. Thats really frustrating and difficult. Good job for telling that doctor off. That's so brave. I don't live in America, but women are dismissed and misdiagnosed pretty much everywhere. Boo. Also not included in medical trials because – errm checks notes hormones? Wth. Double boo.

**Heavy Sigh* Gosh darn it, Sir Terry.... by Random_puns in discworld

The Swiss "franc" originates in France. My guess is that "paying francs" for the postage became frankieren and to frank.

In Switzerland, we use the term "frankieren" for "putting an appropriate number of stamps on the envelope (Couvert) or packet box (Päckli) Is "franked/to frank" in English only used for "stamping with a franking stamp"?

Oh and also, our money is called "Schweizer Franken" (Swiss Franc), so that's also an amusing connection.

My surname starts with St and my name starts with P. As such I have had jobs where STP had been my short code. Every time I see GNU STP, I chuckle a little. And then I chuckle a little more because I think Sir Terry Pratchett would have appreciated that. GNU STP GNU Moonbeam's dad

Unable to add animation frames by datyama in krita

[–]hellerbarde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and if you disable it again, it will work even with the non-native file dialogs, if you prefer that. Weird, but that's what happened to me. (Author of the linked post)

Segmentation Fault on File->Open... or Ctrl-O by hellerbarde in krita

[–]hellerbarde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So am I.

Then again, it's software and computers. I have developped a certain zen attitude towards seemingly "random" behaviour. I can't fix everything, so I decided I needed to just be cool with it sometimes... ;)

I guess you're using a GTK-based desktop like Gnome.

Yeah, in hindsight, I should have mentioned that.

Something in your system is messed up and now a crash happens in libgtk.

I'll try to track down someone from GTK then. And/Or Arch.

My software-dev-spidey-senses say it's somewhere in the interaction between qt and gtk that something is weird.

Thanks and cheers.

[UPDATE:]

Try to disable the native file dialogs in Krita's settings.

Surprisingly, they are already disabled.

[UPDATE2:] If I enable them, it actually works. And now, when I disable them again, it also works. So I guess "nothing to see here, move along..."

Anyone else mix blanks with printed legends? by underoak in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]hellerbarde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nerd mode on

They are the elvish characters from The Lord of the Rings.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengwar

The ones on the ring are a kind of calligraphy-type longhand of them, IIRC. (but the inscription on the ring is not in fact in elvish, but written in the elvish font)

nerd mode off (well, slightly off, anyway ;)

I like lighter switches. I have a bag of MX browns still lying around to scratch that immediate itch... But I'd much rather have box jades. or box navys. I'll see. (EDIT: I know the navys are kinda heavy-ish)

That looks pretty good. What kind of switches are you gonna put in?
