whichever API tries to correct my street from "Straße" to "Str." all over the place would you kindly fuck off, I know where I live
the GN video on LTT is very fair and still damning. Also holy shit you really shouldn't trust LTT's reviews anymore if the data from their new data-collection branch is this bad
just jam it into existing UI components, it's definitely not distruptive! It'll fit right in between the obnoxious reaction animations and animated stickers you can't stop from animating, and did I mention that single emoji messages still get turned into some arbitrary bullshit and you can't turn it off?
how is Telegram's implementation of Stories the most annoying one I've seen so far?
this morning I thought "hey I think my coffee's ready", walked over to my watch (on its charger) and the timer was at one second. I feel like I've peaked

Mutual aid request
Okay, I try to avoid doing this, but I'm overdrawn thanks to some annual costs that never come with sufficient warning and I'm looking at a payment or two that risks bouncing before I get my Universal Credit next week. I just need to get back into the black for the week ahead and keep myself fed in between the way too many appointments I have to deal with over the week.
From that point, I have a few costs I can knock on the head for a bit.

Irgendjemand hier mit so richtig absurd tiefem nischenwissen zu OCR? Oder jemand der jemanden kennt etc? gerne auch boosten.
Ich probiere gerade paperless-ngx aus. aktuellste version, alle settings auf default, intern nutzt das ocrmypdf + unpaper + tesseract 5 mit LSTM model.
wenn ich dort ein 0815 image-only PDF reinlade (graustufen, in diesem fall ein schreiben der telekom) klappt OCR so lala: an der kritischen stelle (das datum) wird aus punkt ein komma und aus 0 eine fragezeichen...

Fascinating how it's basically impossible to tell the difference between a real Tom Scott thumbnail and a fake parody of a Tom Scott thumbnail
the temperature gradient on this E14 is impressive and I think it actually has a sensor on the not-actively-cooled-side because the CPU can be at 50° and it'll still be loud
silly Lenovo they should've put a fan on the hot side of this laptop as well
also shoutout to Thunderbird which opened all three versions of said VCard file correctly encoded, I'm sure handling all those weird edge cases wasn't fun
damn it
the fix for iOS: just output VCard 3.0, 4.0 is too advanced
the fix for Outlook: haha fuck you reencode as Latin-1*
*or tell all your users to set their export (sic!) setting to utf-8 because that changes the import to utf-8 too thanks a lot Microsoft
me, twice a year: I should go to a chaos event sometime
oh, awoospace images are back
oh, iOS mangles the encoding when importing Vcard 4.0 files… they look like valid UTF-8… let's check the spec for encoding info
the spec: the charset is UTF-8. there is no way to change this.

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to tell if a particular app is running in Wayland or XWayland.
This is the answer I get off Stack Overflow. I'm thinking… No. No, that's too silly. It can't be the best way.
I keep researching. It's the best way.
You run xeyes.
Wayland has security that keeps windows from knowing about mouse events in other windows. XWayland doesn't.
Xeyes will track your cursor whenever you're over an XWayland window, then stop if you pass over anything else.
