There's this old Asterix comic book (can't find it) where Romans try to clear the sacred forest around the Gaul village, but Asterix can re-grow the trees faster than they are getting cut down, using magic acorns. And so there's this exchange where the guy tasked with cutting the trees down points to a huge stack of timber saying "Look at all the trees we cut down!" and the exasperated Roman commander replies "We pay you for clearing the forest, not for bringing in more timber". I think about that scene a lot now in the context of corporate LLM use.

I haven't been breadposting for a while, mostly because all of them look the same, but I still bake #sourdough bread at least once every week :)

So I have this Wacom Intuos4 tablet that I've been using with various systems for.. 15 years? 16? It works perfectly fine for my needs, but I've never bothered to set up the OLED displays for buttons this entire time. Until now! I have a fresh #fedora reinstall and wanted to set things up nice. Turns out you can always count on @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org for topics on the intersection of art, software and Linux. There's a blog post from 2011 describing exactly what I need and hey, it worked without tinkering! And now I can spend the rest of my Sunday tinkering with the exact setup I want. Thanks David for all the work that you do (and document!), it's not the first and probably not the last time you helped me :)

First day visiting Slovenia and I feel very much at home already. Looks like the project is this one: https://www.mfru.org/projects/technology-will-not-save-us #maribor #TechWontSaveUs
