Literally what you have in the notebook, but then expanded.

👍 - not the pen, but the content of your notebook. Led to some good reading on music composition. Thanks!

@pony Train simulator, I gather. I remain forever surprised what sorts of things people play and spend time with. I mean, no jokes, my kids play also bus simulator, I just don't get it. Maybe I should give it a try, or something... Maybe I am seriously getting into the old fart territory...

@piggo wrong business reaction there. you should have said "yes sir, lemme look at it!" and come back in 2 weeks with a "solution" plus a juicy invoice. Easy money there... And they'd be over the moon how quick you are and what great customer care you have. I.e., small but important contribution to the potential for raising prices the next time.

@Trojaner What a sharp and beautiful picture! Thanks.

@pony hitting a star to such a message does not feel right. There's probably little somebody like I could do to alleviate the condition, but I wish you best and want to express support. Take care!

@pony I am not going to argue about what you think or not, it's not necessary, nor do I think me or you care that deeply.

My comment was in a broader context of me observing this election campaign from far away and seeing that many respectful people suddenly have no problem to publicly express their open dislike for their neighbouring country and its society, or use either open, or veiled nationalistic rhetoric just because it's easy and convenient - as you also pointed out in your original post. As I said, that's nothing new or weird in the current European context, but I find it somewhat amusing for a society where a significant portion of intellectual elites prides (prided?) themselves with strong humanist and democratic heritage from Masaryk to Havel. Such statements, even if we agree that they are not exactly harmful, are still in a strong contrast with those national myths. I guess we agree that besides being useless, such statements certainly do not improve relations with the other side - rather the contrary. And that is what I putting my finger on.

@pony "Not liking" and "having a very low opinion" are two different things. One is a statement of subjective emotional attitude, the other expresses a subjective qualitative judgement. I might not like broccoli, but I certainly do not have a low opinion of its vegetable qualities. But no worries, it could have been worse, such as an attempt at a negative objective qualitative judgement.

@piggo But yes, personally, I do not see that little piece of paper as so bad in relation to all those other things I am doing just to be: e.g, that packaging, owning a car, or using Internet for shitposting (electricity of data centers).

I hope you also see that in relation to all sorts of luxury non-essential stuff you and me are doing (e.g., 3d printing), these little filter papers are probably the least problematic item.

@piggo I get it. Touché. 😄

@pony

> i have a very low opinion of slovakia personally

What a beautiful display of primitive nationalism. Man, did you even read it after yourself?

This election campaign in the little country of yours is really very interesting to observe from far outside. Thanks to these primitive polarising factors one gets to observe what is "under the surface" of even many intelligent and otherwise accomplished people. It's nothing different than elsewhere: primitive atavistic emotions rooted in "us good, them bad" 🤦‍♂️ That's no surprise. But it's fun to observe the society discovering this about themselves - because they thought that "we are better than that" - no, you are not.

@piggo Says a person whose garbage bin is full of packaging from the supermarket. Man, those little filters are the most normal decomposable filter paper in a round shape. You could have come up with a better argument.

And yes, there's a metal mesh to that gadget if you don't want filters.

@piggo Recently I switched from moka pot (because the pot is gone and I had to replace anyway) to Aeropress and suddenly discovered a whole new level of coffee experience. I am not a coffe snob, but like an espresso-style experience. That one works just with a kettle 🙂 . Sometimes a bit of technological progress is good.

@m well, hypothes.is is open source, but more read-only open source, rather then truly deployable by individuals - you'd have to modify their brwser extensions, etc. Some things are a bit clumsy, but I find it really simple, clever and useful. I already encountered some bugs, but I can live with those. What was a bit harder to crack was how to use it properly on mobile, but later I figure that too. What I find good about it, is that it's stored at a company, but easily downloadable via their APIs using e.g., https://github.com/out-of-cheese-error/gooseberry

@m lemmy. maybe I shall try what's it about...

Maybe you remember, 2 years ago I had a plan to use this as a sort of bookmarking/scrapbook place. That didn't quite work out, but I stuck around for the "short meaningless interactions". But recently I found something what does indeed work for me: hypothes.is -- annotating web pages while reading. That's very very close to what I was looking for back then. It does not have ActivityPub integration, but there is Dokieli (https://dokie.li/) which does. I know you like to play with open source stuff with fediverse integration, so I drop it here and who knows, maybe you'll find it interesting too.
