Huh? Ranma ½ is remade? Watched it. Was fine. Still prefer the original drawing style. The chunkier and less refined lines as well as the are livelier than the polished new one. Content-wise basically the same.

What makes me also annoyed in a big way is the STL and how impossible it is to read the documentation and how unintuitive it is to find the right headers.... C++ is the purest form of an abusive love-hate-relationship for programmers.

I have programmed quite some C++ back in my days. I got a little bit more into it again and I must say that C++ is, for all intents and purposes, very backwards in their syntax. I don't mind some of its minor quirks. The big stuff that annoy me is the way it demands all the stuff that should be automatic but due to legacy and C-interoperability it's kept that way. I created a base button class and had different subclasses of buttons. I created an array of the base button class and assigned the subclass objects to it. However it didn't work as intended as only the base class was called because the array was of the type "Button" and not "Button*". It had to have the type to Button pointers because otherwise the polymorphism doesn't work. C# has pampered me way too much in that regard. However using C++ templates feels sooo good.

When I worked at my university I had my only mandatory background check even though I only created some graphics for an institute. Some government agencies are more strict than others for no apparent reason. In my current job I worked for a few government agencies and never had to sign anything to allow being background-checked.

the arrest warrant doesn’t count because bribery is legal if you make the check out to the county rather than a specific individual

@scribus I still have a background check in progress from Door Dash dating back to when I had nothing to do during Covid and tried to use my free time to earn extra cash with low effort gif work. To this day if I go to check the app they tell me my background check is still in progress.
-
@scribus it hasn't completely escaped my thought process that the background check shows that i've never had any kind of legal judgment made against me, not even a speeding ticket, and somebody simply didn't believe that could be correct

This is the mockup https://i.imgur.com/h6hLDPJ.png Tomorrow I'll receive the last few parts and then I can start printing the case.

After my foot switch I'm going to make a macro keyboard. So far my first use case is the input of some passwords. I know it's not safe to do so. As I'm working from home and have to enter the same damn passwords multiple times in a row it's tiring. As a safety measure I ordered lever switches with those cool flip covers that are always shown in movies for arming the big guns or a powerful machine. In my case this lever switch is for unlocking the password buttons. The buttons have a LED and light up when they are unlocked. Besides that I plan to have 8 additional buttons for volume control and microphone control and have some buttons left. With that I have almost all pins used up without resorting to a scan matrix. I ain't patience and time for soldering that.

@elli It's easy, you just type grape in and press enter

Finished my foot switch. The actual switch is a bit too loud but it's fixable with a bit of foam for sound isolation and the spring a tad bit too strong. That thing was done for a standing position and not a sitting one like in my case, so nothing really unexpected. I hope it will work loose over time. If not I can change it easily. The hard part is to find a suitable replacement.

I bought a foot switch pedal. I intend to use it for the push-to-talk function for voice chat in Discord. I got myself a metal one for industrial applications for 11€. I'll connect an arduino Leonardo (Atmega 32u4) to the switch inside and it's practically done. I've already written the few lines of code, just a simple interrupt for the raising and falling edge of a pin that triggers a button press and release. I don't need any configuration of the key during runtime. There are foot switches for the PC available but they look cheap and I don't trust their software. Also I want it to use on my work pc so I can't say if the software will be blocked or trigger the dumb anti virus software.

@scribus It's not in my use case as I need just the ON/OFF function of a button. I guess it'd be possible to use a program like Voicemeeter or Sonar to be controlled by an analogue input for a distortion effect. I don't know how to implement it (in concept I know but not in practice).

Aw man... My Blackberry battery is so cooked that it crashes when the charge is at 30% upon getting a call.

@adiwan I am seriously contemplating just accepting that the Unihertz line is a couple OS versions old, it's still newer than I've got ATM
-
@scribus Yeah. It's pain. Agony. Suffering. At this point I'm giving up the keyboard dream as the battery pain is steadily increasing and no real alternative is in sight.

Oh man I had such a good image of Saturn in my telescope tonight that I was at first convinced that I was forcing myself to see what I wanted, took like ten minutes and reliably locating it a few times before I believed my eyes

Many people are saying Remy, who was raised on the streets and is physically much stronger by the way, would beat Stuart Little in a fight and 1 on 1 fisticuffs this may be true, however the environment Stuart Little was raised in is quite conducive to that of a high functioning sociopath so I think if he knows the fight is coming he might be able to pull some things Remy would have no way to see coming. He could do some very sick things to Remy, some very underhanded and immoral things. We don’t know. We simply cannot know.

I do not like the standard character sheet design of the 2024 edition (5.5e?) of Dungeons and Dragons. Maybe I'm way too used to the 5th edition but there is a kind of visual business that makes the new one unappealing. Unappealing in a way the transition from 4th edition to 5th didn't.

@adiwan A lot of character sheets seem unpleasant IMO, I ended up reaching a point where I just use blank paper and an almost NPC-like simple stat block.

@scribus I created my own character sheet when my group played in person. It was a modified 5e character sheet that squeezed more frequent stuff on the first page and the lesser updated and used ones on the other, like for example one page for equipment and money, one page for spells, one page for class features. The front page had the usual stuff like AC, HP, Temp HP, skills, ability scores, and a hand full of attacks. I did it because the box I used to store my character sheet and dice was smaller than a sheet of standard A4 paper. I repurposed a wooden slide box and put a felt lining in there so I could use one side as a dice tray. During my 4th edition days I was full custom as the character actions could be easily organized in card form, dailies, encounter, at-will. So it made sense to do the rest of the character in card form so it could fit easily into a deck box. Our DM also gave us our items in card form which was also convenient for tracking who has which item.
