I guess my knowledge of cars must have atrophied…

Not so sure about that, given that I’m pretty sure there’s a full sized Mercedes in the back row, and what to me looks like a Volvo in the middle slot, facing the camera.

You assume I’m ever “about in public”?

Rough guess works be 20cm diameter, so 16% of the force required.

And as opposed to the Magdebutger hemispheres, these objects don’t come with handles for good grip.

@FreeBeard separates evacuated Magdeburger hemispheres by hand.

Netherlands also has constant eleventy mph winds that try to blow you back to where you started, so there’s that.

I still run a fairly old dell laptop with 4k screen, and fedora 41.

My experience is that i needed to set dpi, scaling, and font sizes separately for kde and gnome apps, Firefox is a story in itself, and one app that I quickly stopped using - partly because I could never get it to listen to dpi settings no matter what I did - well, I recently learned that it could be used on a 4k monitor if one first were to set the right environmental variable. Tough luck, I already went with a replacement app.

Right now I only have one app that needs further custom tweaking to be legible, but since that’s only running in the background anyway, I haven’t bothered. So in short, for most apps it’s possible to configure them, but it is a pain point.

Will not buy another 4k laptop.

Is anybody still using mailspring? I remember trying it back in '16 or '17 or so, liked it, but didn’t really feel the need for a standalone client at the time.

Now I’m looking forward to creating more email addresses, and multiple tabs of webmail are getting gradually less appealing. Sure, Thunderbird works…
