Search term "mini usb2 to usbc" on amazon UK came back with a good list... brands easyult and nfhk. No clue how good they are or if they would be available in EU/CH.

Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn't be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed... because it teaches life skills etc.
On the other hand I don't think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.

!nihilism@lemmy.world was created last week but not much there yet.

This is the best answer and why I was thinking it wouldn't be possible but couldn't come up with a good explanation.
Also Cunninghams law in action... post a dumb answer and someone will give the right answer. Thanks.

I was surprised when I looked into digital nomad visas last year, how cheap an airbnb was to book for a month out of season.

Edit, missed that they said a week or 2

Utterly awful. Text is less readable, navigation is a pain, and to cap it all, they removed the widget that was the only reason to use it.

Why oh, why oh, why bbc!!!

Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don't like the idea of management. I love doing what I do... fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn't seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

Just some ideas, I don't have much good advice as I'm spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.

Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren't really that interested in playing but don't know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.

I'm imagining a use case of finding people buried in collapsed buildings with wifi, or is it just detecting movement... I didn't quite understand the science bit.

In connect, there is "about instance" option in the ellipsis menu of a community list. On the next screen there should be a "view communities" option. However, selecting a community on there doesn't always go to the right one.

I have a vague recollection that inkscape maybe able to handle webp conversion... the alternative could be to display it and take a screenshot that you can save any way you want.

Edit: scratch that it can't... I used cloudconvert.com the last time I did that.
