Oh jeez I didn't realise you were talking in context of just the 40 series and thought you meant all the cards 😅 My mistake.

Apologies in advance, but you have got to be bloody insane to think the 4070ti is a midrange card.

If you go into the Styles menu (either the F10 or F11 key, I forgot) you can change the font of the Default Paragraph (or something akin to that name) to the font of your choice.

I haven't used LibreOffice Writer in a while, though, so I'm not sure if that change will stay between sessions, but it should.

I know, but I figured I might as well use the occasion to joke around a bit

Just a random question that popped into my head while correcting a message I sent to a friend.

You see these in Poland every now and then, just with an actual central hole. I remember seeing these in my school, we used to call it srajtaśma ("shit tape" is the best translation I can think of), and it was just as bad as you described it. It also had a very particular smell to it.

Every time I hear about highways in the US my mind keeps going back to that part of the I-10 in Houston

Posting for anyone who might like it.

I needed a wallpaper for a dumbphone I bought, so I made one, using one of my photos as a reference. The original is 128x160, this one was upscaled 8x using NN sampling for clarity

iirc it's so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I'm sure there's more to it than that

Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I've struggled with on Linux

Yeah, I feel that. Paint.net is the sole reason I still fire up my Windows VM every now and then.

The closest you can get is Pinta and even then, looking at the surface things may seem very similar, but the workflow is totally different (it doesn't even have overscroll god damn it!) and the plugin scene is deader than dead. I wanted to code a proper replacement based on Pinta, but I haven't got the motivation or time for that.

If I wanna edit an image, firing up a VM is still genuinely faster than trying to work with Pinta or GIMP or any other opensource alternative for that matter. Krita has surprisingly been pretty good at replicating the workflow, but it still falls short.

I managed to bag a Lenovo Thinkpad T440 for quite cheap as a replacement to my old laptop and I've been wondering about upgrading it.

Problem is the T440 is quite hostile when it comes to upgrading, unlike the T440p. Replacing, for example, the CPU is basically impossible as it's soldered directly to the board. And so I've been thinking about something stupid a.k.a. replacing the motherboard entirely with a T440s board, which has a better CPU soldered onto it.

In theory the two boards should have the same dimensions and should be interchangeable, but does anyone know if that's actually the case? I couldn't find much about this kind of swap online, so I thought asking here would be a good idea.

I've been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so.

Right now I've replaced my gallery with Aves, my file manager with Material Files, and my voice recorder with Record You.

And that's about it. I still need a replacement for Simple Dialer and Simple SMS Messenger (Contact You doesn't support MMS and it would be really nice to have MMS support), Simple Calculator, and Simple Notes (looking specifically for an app with a dedicated widget like the one SN has).

Can anyone recommend something for the apps I'm still missing?

I really need to start organising things and a calendar on my PC where I could set up events would really help. No other fluff, quite literally just a program that shows me the current month and handles events, perhaps with like a notification function or something along these lines.

Given how simple this would be I'd code one myself, but I haven't got the time to do so at the moment, so I just wanted to ask if anyone's able to recommend something similar to that.
