  • Pill cutters are situationally easier for the elderly to use. They’re portable, don’t require a cutting surface, and generally have guards along the blade making it safer than a knife.

    What works for me is snapping it while my fingernail is in the groove. Gives a clean break down the center like every time.


  • Theres no such thing as “real stainless”. Stainless steel 304 is corrosion resistant, it’s the cheapest and most common. 316 is better at corrosion resistance and is “marine grade” since it will hold up better to salt water. 316L is some of the best at resisting corrosion, it’s more expensive than 304 and is used in lab and surgical equipment. There are a lot of other types, like 309 for higher heat applications, etc.

    Cybertruck is probably made from 304.

    Definately not supprised that cybertrucks are having this issue. Especially with road salt in the winter. I’m sure the engineers at Tesla saw this coming too.

    As someone else suggested, there are plenty of kde apps that could use some devs.

    Kde plasma multi-monitor support could also use some love, though its much better than it was a year ago.

    I know that mobile linux could definately use more devs, if you want to stretch the meaning of desktop 😁. Kde plasma mobile specifically needs help porting their stuff to qt6 for the up coming plasma 6 release.



  • Something I’ve been wanting to work on is a TUI wizard for configuring software.

    The thought is most Linux server program use various config files, and in order to configure them correctly it generally takes a few minutes to a few hours to read through their documentation. But a lot of the configuration boils down to passwords/keys, file paths, network locations, a few different booleans, etc.

    So the general idea is, for a program, the developer or the community can provide a config file telling the TUI wizard what arguments the config file needs, and this one program can walk the end user through setup and generates the config files. This would reduce the amount of time hunting through documentation and reduce bugs due to typos or invalid choices.

    It could go a step further and auto generate keys or passwords if needed, validate entries (ie if the config needs an IP it could make sure it’s valid, etc)
