I need to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Mine have a setting to disable the light outside of initial startup so thankfully I'm safe here.

LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.

Now if we could just teach this to the general population. The number of times that I've gotten yelled at to "get off the road and use the sidewalk" has me prepared to make a wearable "share the road" sign.

Feel that. I distinctly remember forgetting how to spell "of" and wanting to write "uv".

Yup, Plasma 6 has been pretty great. Had to fix a couple of issues with Nvidia but it's been incredibly smooth.

I swear, I can't tell the difference between AI answers and the shit people make up with inspect element for the memes anymore.

I personally use Matrix. I haven't gotten very far into using it but it does have groups, text, calls, and encrypted messaging so I'd say check it out.

Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I've seen is like two bucks.

Element. It's a popular client for Matrix, which is a federated messaging platform (similar to lemmy and mastodon) with different instances.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out! I'll see about getting some gun oil and a small enough sharpener (the only one I own apparently doesn't accommodate tiny pocket knives), and I may post an update on how it looks. I'm glad to see this little guy can be restored to working condition since a handy knife like this deserves a purpose, but I am a little sad that the scales might not have much longer (relatively speaking).

You're not the only one that thought that. I really need to clarify that I know it's a pocket knife in the title so I don't keep freaking people out as they're casually scrolling.
