@glc Yep, I was on 15.7 before the upgrade but time marches on and eventually not-upgrading will be effectively impossible. This was on a non-critical machine (hence the 1920x1200 external display). I’m just surprised how bad the design is now, both in aesthetics and usability
The wait is finally over, we're happy to announce that the KeebDeck Keyboard and our first product using it, the KeebDeck Basic, are now available for sale from our @lectronz.com store! ⌨️ lectronz.com/stores/solde...
@ai6yr @MLE_online next time I need to replace an RPi SD card I am trying this by @geerlingguy https://github.com/geerlingguy/rpi-clone
(HT @todbot on the Bootloader podcast @thebootloader )
@shovemedia Good question. It doesn’t seem to mess with display scaling, but I think perhaps they’re using fonts now that require a Retina/HiDPI display to look usable
Just upgraded to MacOS 26.1 on a computer w/ an external 1920x1200 monitor and it looks TERRIBLE. The fonts in the official apps (Messages, etc) look grody with no way to change apparently. The whole interface is like an sophomore attempt w/ the over-rounded edges. So gross & amateurish #macos
Oh look, it's a biblically-accurate cable tester https://widget.uk/@TindieBot/115487429791275188

@talldarknweirdo @attie “You should see my cinnamon mortar!”
@todbot Have you seen the automatic x-ray counting machines for them?
@cibomahto Whoa! That’s so cool!
“Want to hold 5000 of something?” It’s always so cool to get a full reel of SMD parts. In this case, resistors
I have stickers! Want one? Request here (US addresses only, sorry): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbnxBVYHVAV18HNEHVie0Jxel8OL1BAgbhYVizbAIWFs5JlQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=116127111607716547988
