(A bit related to new #Firefox print UI)
It also doesn’t solve a use-case I had recently: #LibreOffice and various #Linux #PDF viewers fail with this:

- Print single A6 page on A4 *to scale* ✅
- Print two A6 pages on A4 *to scale* 💥 (LibreOffice zooms in instead)

Any software can do that correctly? #Microsoft? #floss?

Work-arounds, like manually defining borders/offsets *do* work. But why do I have to do the math myself, esp.considering that single-A6-on-A4 works perfectly to scale.

Just today, one of my rare #opensource contributions (that I wrote on a weekend almost 2 years ago) made it into an official release. 🎉 #ilovefs #freesoftware

@downey Have you customized the styles for this instance? I'm using the advanced layout and get to fit ~4 lanes on my screen while on other instances I only get 3. Actually not sure, which I like better, but I cannot find if *I* have modified this (it looks I don't) or if it's an instance setting. You both have the same version and I'm using the same styles.

Pulseeffects is not super critical for me. But definitely nice to have.

#ArchLinux wants to install Pulseeffects 5 which only supports #Pipewire, not #Pulseaudio anymore. Will this break all my audio or just make PE unusable for me unless I switch to PW completely? (I do have libpipewire already, but rely on PA for everything so far) #linux #arch #OBS

Random Firefox extension recommendation: Localise Times – automatically replaces "12:34 CET" to your local time. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/localise-times/

After (too) many years I really have to replace my OnePlus 3 this year. I have no idea what to buy. The recent OnePlus models have dropped their Facebook bloatware, right? It's the rare occasion every couple of years when I wish I could just go with the latest 🍏 iSomething and just don't care.

…speaking of LibreOffice.

I’m pretty happy with my VSCodium → Markdown → pandoc → OpenDocument → PDF pipeline to format various versions of my hobby book project with a single command (Makefile) 🙈

Seems there is no way to have a newline between a headline number an the headline text – if you don’t want to do it automatically, but with the formatting/styles features. If you have something, tell me. I’ve seen the top search results on the forums, stackoverflow etc. 🤔

btw, I’m really torn on the #Elasticsearch/#AWS/#SSPL controversy. I know I lean towards the "radical foss" side of things, but yeah, that one is really tricky. Many shades of gray. In the end it all boils down to f’ing capitalism anyway – again 😔 #foss #OpenSource

Und wieder mal stellt sich das Fediverse als die bessere Diskussionplattform dar. Wo unter einem interessanten Link auf Twitter nur Polemik und zwei, drei halbgare Kommentare folgten, entwickelte sich hier zum gleichen Thema ein sinnvoller Thread.

(ja, is’n subtoot; thema egal. hab an beiden threads nicht teilgenommen, weil müde.)

Best software I’ve developed so far is a digital board game implementation.

1. Clear requirements (make the game, by this rule book).
2. Aside from minor UI quirks it’s practically bug-free. All reports of the last 2yrs have been closed (not by me) with: “Nope, *you* read the rules wrong.”
