They would still have to go to the club though, and generate the interest / intent by themselves.

I think the service provided should be more like a PA: they call you Friday at 5pm, ask what you’re doing, suggest a couple of activities, and once there, actually make an effort to introduce you to people, suggest common activities, take care of the first hour of awkward conversation so people can get to know each other etc.

$5 says this already exists in Japan.

The reason given is that it might interfere with the “security features”. Honestly, if you use a matte, high quality lamination pouch, it will most likely work just fine and you won’t ever have issues.

It absolutely does, on Android at least. On iOS, given Apple’s restrictions, the whole situation is a bit more complicated:

Ah, the image. Yes, I agree - I also noticed AI generated images being used in his videos.

I highly doubt that. I recently stumbled upon Rolf here and I’ve watched a number of his videos on YouTube, the article is pretty much written in his style.

He built a community on his website and is producing content, and while I have no doubt that there are financial interests at play, I really can’t blame anyone for wanting to make a living doing what they love.

I don’t know what your previous setup was, but given that running resolved fixes your DNS issues, run:

ln -sf ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

This will point programs that use /etc/resolved.conf during DNS resolution to the local DNS server provided by systemd-resolved.

Then, enable resolved so that it is started when you reboot:

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Finally, start the service so that it is available immediately:

systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

You will want it run those with the required permissions, e. g. via sudo.

Have you considered creating a macro in any image editor that supports macros and assigning that to a button / keyboard shortcut?

gimp certainly has macros and scripting features. Maybe this will help: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Automate_Editing_in_GIMP/

You can still edit a mask / selection with the regular UI, then trigger the cut/merge process you desire based on that selection.

I was not ready for how many stock photos they produced.

Check if your solder contains flux. Often, you will want to apply additional flux manually anyway.

But, most importantly: it looks like you’re trying to touch the hot iron with your solder (or vice versa). Don’t do that. Use the iron to heat up the wire and then touch the solder to the wire and let it wick up once sufficiently hot. However, you will want to have a bit of melted solder on the tip of your iron to enhance heat conductivity.

As others have said, pre-tin your wires before connecting them to anything.

And yeah, so far, it’s a hot mess. But you’ll get there in no time. Watch a video for proper technique.

This is absolutely not normal.

Right? Cover a fucking donut with mayonnaise, serve it on a single leaf of lettuce - boom, salad.
