Here's to you, Ragnar.

Skål!

* Drinks ale from curved horn. *

@retoor Damn.

That's a lot.

Either way, cool-looking stats, though.

@retoor Well... Tried that already.

* Update *

0. Got a refund for the localized license.

1. Successfully renewed my previous license.

...had to pay the extra ~$35 for the privilege of having the software in the English language giving the false impression that I am drowning in money.

FML.

@retoor So, I'm guessing I need to grab the Gzipped package from here:

https://python.org/downloads/... .

Also, I'm guessing I should install it as an alt-installation so that I don't end up fucking up my base python installation, correct?

@retoor This one made me laugh...

...mentioning my pwd in plain text in two places ;-) .

Aside from that, once the directories have been created, it works very well.

@retoor Will grab the new version, why not.

Most / all of the initial problems on my side had been due to fucked up installation of Python.

On one end the system saw the newest 3.13, on the other the 3.12.

The easiest solution for me was to reinstall Kubuntu && start from scratch.

It went fairly smoothly the 2nd time around.

Regarding the thing I'm working on - apart from returning to work to my same old testing routine, I'm back to reading / learning C++ on my own free time.

@retoor Me: * Laughs really loudly *.

@retoor

So, I'm guessing the following directories:

log_keys, log_summaries and log_lines

should get created after running make plot, right?

@retoor No worries.

You'll get to it eventually.

Last weekend before returning to work, so for me relaxing is the main goal, here.

@jestdotty Huh.

I've heard something similar.

General favoritism in school towards 'yes-men', while discouraging free thinkers etc. was / is supposed to result in obedient factory workers.

Or something like that.

@kiki Good to know.

I'm staying clear of the smart watches for the time being.

I don't have any meaningful use case for them.

@cafecortado 'Enough is never enough.'

Big corp. doing shameless self promotion.

What a surprise.

@D-4got10-01 Huh.

Either it hates me, or it's offline.

Perhaps I should try later.

@retoor Interesting!

I'll play w/ it today.

Checked it out.

Works quite nicely.

@Ragnar You just _hate_ casinos, right?

@Ragnar Let me summon you here, so you can have some fun.

Edit:

Oh... refreshed the page, saw you've already had your fill.

Way to go!

@cprn Maybe !fascination, but just preference.

At least on my part.

For the most part, my keyboard holds up very well for its age.

So far I had to replace only two keys - Left Shift && Left Control, which just broke due to wear && tear.

The occasional chattering is / was a fairly recent development.

It's been a while since the last time this happened to me, but there was a time a few months ago when it had been happening quite often.

All in all I am satisfied w/ my keyboard.

It would seem that it is no longer in production, which is a shame.

I have this model:

@djsumdog Damn.

A piece of history right there.

I think I might've had access to the phone at work ages ago.

The humble beginnings of the Android phones.

They've come a long way.

@Ragnar You used to be an explorer w/ appreciation for different cultures, right?

Here - have a taste of Italy.

@retoor Good choice.

Better to test in testing env, than in production ;-).

I still own Samsung Galaxy S III.

Apart from having to purchase a new battery roughly every 1.5 year due to bloating, the phone works just fine.

@retoor 'I have devrant now running on molodetz'.

This is impressive.

@kiki I always liked the

'If you like the software - buy it.'

mention in *.nfo included w/ scene releases.

If I enjoyed playing a game / software was useful to me, then I would buy it.

@kiki You're correct about the regional pricing.

The prices don't vary _that much_, but it's enough to make a difference.

The fact that it comes at a cost of localized software itself w/o means of changing the language is abhorrent, though.

@lorentz 'slightly broken chherry red'

Fun. I have the exact same problem.

Bought my keyboard in 2017, so it is getting somewhat old, though.

@retoor Interesting info.

Especially the proxy one, which sounds very useful.

Today I've been trying to get the whole tikker fully working.

Went through a fresh installation of Kubuntu 24.04 on a different machine.

Have been having similar results i.e. some packages would refuse to get installed.

Then updated Kubuntu to 24.10 - _that_ was a mistake, as the installation went FUBAR.

Lastly started from scratch using Xubuntu.

Here things have been progressing quite smoothly.

So maybe Kubuntu had newer / incompatible packages.

Things _seem_ to be almost in full working order, even got the ollama example working.

I'll be taking a more thorough look once I've slept, as I'm just exhausted by the whole troubleshooting.
