Ayy alright! Here's hoping, thanks!

Thank you! I had no idea what "bloom" was (clearly, because I called it glow lmao).

This is at least close enough, if not perfect, especially if I can (and I expect so) change the background to the aperture logo (which can easily be found in the correct orange/brownish color online).

Good question, I'm not sure. From using a desktop wallpaper on my android before however I can tell you that in practice, whatever happens with your cache, it just crops the image to fit your screen. It can be a problem if you want the full design, but with a one color image, you'd never be able to tell.

But hell yeah I can understand being way too lazy to care, though still then I wouldn't be saying "there's no option..." because there is, you just have to supply the image, which is really very easy if you did care to do it.

Ok then,

Prntscrn your home, crop out taskbars.

Or open gimp and make a one color image in any color you can imagine.

Then send that file. There's ways.

On my Android phone, for some inane reason, there's no option to just use a fixed color background

Uhhh...

Literally just use the same one that's on your pc? Just KDEconnect that file over (or find any online pic of a solid color wallpaper, whatever you choose of course), and click:

settings>wallpaper and style>change wallpaper>my photos>nav to your file>set wallpaper

(This is why all linux help is CLI, damn GUI nav trees lmao.) But yeah why not that? Works on my machine.

I'm still just trying to get my terminal to look like the Portal (1) Aperture Science screensaver, but for some reason last time I tried I couldn't get it just right. Now that I have KDE (and thus color picker and Konsole), I should try again..

The hardest part is the glow effect on the text I think.

Does milk wet cocoa

Yes.

or do they mix

It dissolves when wet, sure, but on a molecular level is the cocoa bonding with the water to become some state other than "wet" or "dry," or is the dissolved cocoa still "wet?"

Matter of fact, we have words to describe the quantity of "wetness." There's many synonyms of course, soaked, dessicated, etc, but the base levels are: dry, damp, and wet. If "water is not wet," then what is it? Do you propose water to be "dry?"

Another note (which you mentioning air made me think of), if water "has no surface" then how does it have "surface tension?" Another point for "water touches water."

...ok hol' up.

racism did not play a part, because it wasn't even invented yet.

Racism wasn't invented before 1536, the year she got beheaded? The Portuguese had already transported the first slave ship to Brazil 10yr earlier, even if we pretend there was complete racial harmony before the transatlantic slave trade began, which is an absolutely insane thing to pretend, that still started before her death. Not to mention the fact that racism (and slavery no less) has been around since long before "transatlantic" was even a concept.

But at least then you can reply "you won't, prove it!" If the "signs" are "I glanced at you for 5 whole seconds on Friday," or "I said nice haircut last month" then it's a lot harder to guess lol.

What're y'all pulling this week?

 

Such a sweet kitty. Still pretty hidey, but coming along and opening up. She's play biting me now and it's so cute. Still hisses sometimes when she sees me but still doesn't mean it. Her leg is healing up so good that I never put the cone on her, I think part of the licking was stress which I've removed as much as possible. Picture to follow here.

Rescue from my warehouse (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/cat@lemmy.world
 

This little scaredy cat got into the warehouse in which I work, and someone had to save her so I did. I recently asked about integrating her into my house with my 2y old cat.

So far, she's been quarantined in a separate room, she's got a bite on her foot I wasn't told about that looks partially healed, but still not great, and so I'll have to figure that out first. I have a cone on the way to stop her from licking at it until I can get her to the vet (who was supposed to email me yesterday...c'mon guys kitty need help!) Unclear if the bite came from one of the dogs inside the warehouse, or (lord I hope not, but...honestly I think so..), the raccoon she was spotted near a few days before she gained entry to the warehouse. I have a pic if anyone wants to see it, but it looks like a lil puncture wound (not exactly cute) so I'm only going to if someone requests 'cause they wanna help (as much help as that can be, need the vet for sure but advice is always welcome in the meantime!!)

She's terrified, but, that's probably normal? I mean, she's a wounded stray captured in a humane trap and then was fostered in a bathroom for a while until I got her in her own room. It's been like 26hr since I got her here, I'd be scared too. That said, she'll hiss and hiss but won't bite or scratch, when she hisses I'll pause and slow blink, then keep going, when I reach her she'll let me pet her, pick her up, starts purring and rubbing her face into the pets, y'know, cat stuff. So, pretty good? Idk! I've only adopted from humane rescues so far this is kiiiinda my first "found it in a dumpster" cat.

My tubby kitty, resident idiot... Idk if she's even noticed, despite the new kitten using her separate box (clearly "smells" involved there wafting under the door) and she definitely heard her meowing at me (begging for release into the wild) about 1h ago. Doesn't seem to care at all, who knows with this dingus! Maybe they'll become fast friends when they see each other, here's hoping!

Here's another pic, of her deciding I may not be so bad after all, of course she'll forget this next time I walk in...

List is up, come and get it!

Robot Tod #2 - I was able to score the first one and picked it up after Jordan reccomended it. I actually haven't gotten around to it just yet (which is the theme this week, actually...I've been busy as hell.) Like the art though so I'll grab this too if my shop gets it.

Geiger #13 - Good ol Geiger, still my 2nd favorite of the Ghost Machine stuff. Hyde St takes the top.

Moon Is Following Us #8 - Behind but I'll get to em!

Jumpscare #2 - I like the art, I think I missed #1 I'll have to grab both.

That's it for me this week, maybe I'll even read some lol. What're you pulling?

 

Ok little backstory, I had cat, rescued another, the first has since passed but the second (Ripley) is still here. Another cat broke into our warehouse at work and someone needs to rescue it, and the duty has fallen on me. Ripley did OK as a kitten with my other cat, but since becoming an only-cat she has had scant interactions with strays coming up to my glass door, but she tries to fight them every time lol. I think she'll come around though.

Here's the plan, gonna clean out my "spare" room and make the new kitten a fort in there with a freshly washed blanket, get her some toys of her own, own box and food etc. I'm gonna keep em completely separated for a couple days, then swap them for a few hours to let them explore the other's scent, then swap back, rinse and repeat for like a week?ish? Once they start sniffing under the door and stuff I'm going to try and let them see but not touch each other (and have no clue how I'll achieve this, any ideas would be helpful!) and then after a few of those if no hissing occurs and they seem chill, let them meet finally.

Both cats female, current resident is about 2-3, new resident is less than 1yo. Will get all the shots and spay, of course. Shots ASAP for sure, spey idk if I should wait until they're friends?

Any tips? Sounds pretty good? Typed a little rushed on break at work, sorry, just found out I'm taking the cat lol.

 

New list is up! Let's see here..

Let This One Be A Devil #2 - Still sleeping on #1 but I'm sold, it's James Tinyon (or however he spells it) and it's about the Jersey Devil.

Hyde Street #5 - Missing #4, need that one too.

Lucky Devils #3 - I've been loving this so far, two punk devils upending their corporate hellstructure.

Cruel Kingdom #4 - missing #3... I love my shop but they've been having some issues getting things..

Well that's it for me, what're you guys pulling this week?

Weird bug? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/meshtastic@mander.xyz
 

I just ran into the weirdest bug using meshtastic, I don't even know where to start searching for answers so I figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.

So, I'm using a t1000e in pocket/on the go and a heltec v3 in a window upstairs. Both are connected to MQTT on a local channel [State Redacted]Mesh. I've been home for a few hours now and neglected to switch from the t1000e to the V3, TX and RX the whole time from the t1000e. I just noticed and said "ah let me turn off the pocket and switch to the home node," switched over, and all the messages sent hours ago doubled up and got reposted to the mesh somehow just from switching nodes. I know this because the second I switched the room's bot posted a joke, and last person to call !joke was me, 7h ago, and when I commented on it someone said "yeah you just reposted something you said hours ago."

What the hell?! Any ideas? Problem started today afaik, haven't changed any settings. I don't want to spam the SRMesh with hours old messages for no reason lmao. I do not have store and forward on.

Edit: Forgot about this part!

The other weird thing is if I hit traceroute on someone from the SRMesh, nothing happens (but it should be "direct," because "mqtt"), I can do a bunch of them and nothing, but then when I switch nodes and back again all the traceroute windows pop up at once like 1998 popups. WAT.

Edit again: Guy in the mesh said "I had some weird shit going on once, not exactly this, but try deleting the app cache."

It worked. Didn't even have to delete storage.

Edit No. what, 3?: Spoke too soon, it's back, and it isn't just me. Turned off MQTT on all but one node, whatever.

 

Sorry I'm late lol, was sick as hell yesterday! New list is up, some good shit this week!

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #4 - Minor Threats always rules, I think I missed the other new one, I can't remember the name though.

Into The Unbeing Part Two #2 - definitely missed #1, part one was pretty weird, I'll continue it if In can without going online.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #7 - YES

Lucky Devils #3 - Just read the first two, I'm in. Two Devils (not the devil) upending their corporate underworld's structure. This shit is right up my alley.

 

New list is up! Really short for me this week it seems, just one:

Sacrificers #15 - I'm still loving this series!

Well that's it lol. What're you pulling?
