I bought the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for the bezel even though the 5 was out. I just needed a stopgap until the 6 came out. As long as the reviews are promising, I'm excited to upgrade. That said, the 4 is working just fine and I haven't run into any limitations.

Since your pen is not a demonstrator and does not have an ink window, you'll know it's ink is low when it stops writing.

Can you explain these a little more? I don't understand what that breaks. Also, shouldn't the second one be correct if you use a raw string?

I wouldn't mind some shared content from quality communities, like the posts from the machine learning research community.

This is a quality of life improvement I can get behind!

I've only played around with it for a few hours, but I'm already happier than using matplotlib or my rpy2 bridge to ggplot2.

Where did you buy it, and what kind of ink are you using? Metropolitans are really reliable, so it's be very surprised to see a dud unless it wasn't a real Metropolitan or the ink was India ink or iron gall ink. There are Lamy Safari fakes and other similar pens sold on Amazon. I've had better luck buying at pen shows and from trusted retailers.

I've used Trade and Atlas, and I've had a few good coffees from each. They're interesting because they'll send me beans I might not have considered, and it's helped me better develop my opinion on what I do and don't like.

I'm interested in the earbuds. I typically play with earbuds or headphones, so it might be nice to have a dedicated gaming pair.

I tried the Hoffman method today and it's quite good (provided you pour the iced coffee over additional ice before drinking). I didn't quite get a sweet fruit tea-like cup (like I usually do with a hot pourover light roast), but I certainly got more of the origin characteristics I was looking for.

Thanks for the tip! I tried this and ended up with an uneven extraction and slightly bitter cup—although that may be more due to the ratio than the brewing method. I typically brew pour overs at 1:17, but the recipe I found online was 1:4:7 ratio (48g coffee to 212g ice and 340g water). Since coffee extraction is non-linear, I don't understand how brewing with half the hot water yields the same extraction (based on the dynamics of coffee extraction). What brewing ratio worked produces a more balanced cup for you?

EDIT: I should add I ground medium-sized (3 on a Fellow Ode Gen 1) and used 99° C water.

I agree. Also, there is a ton of really great programming and AI/ML content on Twitter. I hope much of it migrates to Mastodon and Lemmy, and I'm starting to see some of it appear on Threads as well. Instead of knee-jerk reactions to defederate from Threads to avoid the the embrace-extend-extinguish that happened to XMPP, we should build technical safeguards to keep things open.

Although Meta's social media and privacy woes are well-known, Meta is one of the largest contributors to open-source and AI/ML. We should be encouraging companies to federate and building safeguards into ActivityPub to discourage "embrace-extend-extinguish". We're already seeing fracturing in the Fedverse between Pleroma and Akkoma, Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and most Lemmy mobile clients not supporting Kbin. I want the fediverse to succeed, but this is driving users away—what's the point if this ends as a ghost town? Do we want to go the way of Identi.ca and previous attempts
