@nyte @mw Indeed, I recently had an issue with my Lemur Pro, and interacting with #System76 support was quite a hassle even within the USA.

Aren't there any Linux-friendly laptop makers in Europe?

@mw Get a Lemur Pro from #System76!

I asked Bard to look at my picture and explain the instructions step by step.

Not bad, Bard! Are you already on Gemini Pro?

The Rikuro-ojisan mark was also there, just not as clearly visible as in this stock photo.

This refers to the center piece of the cake if you cut it in 9 pieces as shown in the diagram on the box.

And, sure enough, there were no raisins on piece number 5! 🤩

Last time I was in Japan, my friend Yoko bought a Rikuro cheesecake with raisins.

Yoko's husband Yutaka doesn't eat raisins, but the box has specific instructions for him:

５番はりくろーおじさんマークがそのまま残り、かつレーズンが入っていないチーズケーキ

Number 5 is a cheesecake with the Rikuro Uncle mark left intact, and without raisins. 😲

In the latest #RurouniKenshin episode, I heard Megumi say:

気になったから来ちゃった。
kininnatta kara kichatta

The first word is the past-tense of 気になる (to be on one's mind, to be worried):
https://jisho.org/word/%E6%B0%97%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B

The last word is 来る (to come), but with the ～ちゃう suffix in the past tense (～ちゃった), adding a nuisance of coming "accidentally", or just passing by.

So the whole sentence means: "It's been on my mind, so I passed by".

@keadamander My brain immediately categorized this as cartoon rather than an anime.

I can't believe that a product from Meta is going to interoperate with the #fediverse:

"Our vision is that Threads will enable you to communicate with people on other fediverse platforms we don’t own or control. This means that your Threads profile can follow and be followed by people using different servers on the fediverse."

In case people were wondering:
"It requires AGA because the original game has 16 banks of 16 colors and a 256 color palette which is - added - dynamic. So ECS port would be quite tricky without rewriting the whole game."

Very disappointed with Italy, my homland, for not supporting the UN motion for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza 😞

They missed さあ (saa...), which seems to mean "I wonder..." or "who knows..."

@benoit Going back to Pixel after enduring Samsung's "One UI" crap for almost 2 years 🤮

My experience of switching to a new Android phone gets smother year after year.

Today, all the messaging apps I use support a reasonable flow for transferring account data and chat logs.

Hopefully one day they will converge to a single, system-wide mechanism for transferring account data securely on initial setup.

@deepskies @root42 I learned to code in BASIC on the #C64, then switched to an #Amiga 500, on which I started learning C.

The CPU on which I learned the most was definitely the 25MHz 68040 of my Amiga 4000. By this time I was in high-school, old enough to start coding seriously on AmigaOS.

This machine also ran a #FidoNet BBS and, later, #NetBSD.

This is the original CPU card of my A4000, photographed last week during a restoration with my friends. And, yes, it still works perfectly! ❤️

The 486SX-25 was the CPU on which I probably learned the most in my youth. First Linux installation, first serious coding efforts. What was your most influential CPU?
