I know KDE has a calendar, not sure how well it'd work for your use case but it's there!

My thoughts for something like that would be either mustard (dijon, although it has a similar sort of pungency to horseradish), peppercorn sauce or red wine and rosemary butter (or similar)? Whipped chive butter sounds quite nice!

Unless I'm drastically misinterpreting what you're trying to make - I assume you're referring to some kind of sauce or flavouring for medallion steaks?

(Edit: should specify this is aimed at the phones and qr codes system!) That would absolutely ruin the atmosphere for me though, the character of a bar is the bustle and people standing around as well as the chatter you get sometimes.

Removing all that and just having people tap away at their phones while the bar staff silently make drinks, then people walking to a box to grab theirs honestly sounds uninviting.

Nice concept on paper but it'd ruin a bar for me.

I believe (from prior knowledge and a little bit of research), é/è/ê are all french, ë is dutch, sometimes french and occasionally in english, ï is i think similar and ÿ is also french (and possibly turkish? Not sure). No pressure to add them, it just might be nice if you have the time! :)

Sounds like quite a nice weekend. Best of luck & get well soon to your doggo!

TV's backlight died a couple of days ago and I'm waiting for the replacements to arrive (hopefully tomorrow), might be a bugger to fix but it's worth a shot anyway (only a £20 part and if I can't fix it it's going in the bin and being replaced anyway).

Otherwise, family from abroad are staying nearby this week so we'll be taking them around the area!

Fair enough, if that's the scope of your knowledge anyway then it makes sense. Could just be something to add in a later version (unicode wasn't built in a day after all)!

Also in addition to my other comment, it would be nice to add the circumflex, forward/backward accents (even if they're possible just show them before/after the main alphabet in the preview).

Also, ë, ï and why not ÿ to complete the set? :)

As nottheengineer pointed out, the umlauts being conjoined just doesn't feel right - your reasoning behind it makes total sense, it's just a little bit too wrong for my eyes.

I would instead personally prefer them misaligned/asymmetrical (ouch, i know) as that would make what they are clear (i would probably take a minute to adjust to that and imo that's not something that should be necessary for a typeface.

That nitpick aside, it does feel very well-rounded to look at, you did well!

In my opinion it depends on which letter you're using. If it has a very striking doubled part such as N then I think it'd work!

I mean you know better than me (I'm not even on twitter so everything i see is just the internet perspective of it). I'll take your word for it as you're probably right!

I wasn't really involved with social media back then sadly, but yes I did get that general impression. Before all the toxicity really overtook it around 2020 it did seem quite pleasant.

Shame really, corporate greed taking something quite nice and milking it so hard it's absolutely ruined. Then again, it gives way to things like bluesky so i guess it has its upsides!

 

I've just come from the reddit exodus and I'm looking around for some documentation or info on the privacy & security on infosec.pub and/or lemmy as a platform - how our logins are stored and whether data is accessible by developers / other parties.

Does anyone know where I can find more information on this? (Or if not could you shed some light)

This platform seems incredibly promising and I'm sick of reddit's ways now, but i want to read up before I fully commit. Many thanks!

(Edit - sorry if this isn't an appropriate place for this by the way, just seemed a sensible community to put it in!)
