Which Seattle library (am assuming you're referring to SPL/Seattle Public Library system) has a maker space?

There is no maker space listed at https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/a-z-programs-and-s....

Within KCLS, there are two public libraries that have maker spaces (AFAIK): Bellevue, Federal Way.

PS this is not meant to be confrontational, would love it if there were more maker spaces in libraries (when have asked in the past, the usual answer is that they do not have enough space for it).


No, the Seattle reference was for the cafe, not a maker space.

couple more: Off House (household goods) Garage Off (car stuff)

Also: mode off (fashion).

Also, in some countries (e.g. Germany) applications explicitly do not track that information (such as how long a documented was edited) for legal reasons related to privacy laws.


[1] “ The Glazer family’s acquisition of Manchester United remains controversial to this day.

Their £790m takeover in the summer of 2005 came by way of a leveraged buyout: when a significant amount of borrowed money is used to fund the acquisition of a company, with the debt secured against that company itself.”

About PowerToys’ Text Extractor, there’s equivalent functionality in Windows now, from [1]:

It's recommended to use the Snipping Tool instead of the Text Extractor for capturing screenshots.

Since switching to Linux in 2023, Text Extractor is actually the thing I miss most. Text Extractor was a joy to use. While I have found equivalents for most of the PowerToys on Linux, the PowerToys did a great job and it was one of my favorite pieces of software.

For any Linux users reading this, is there a Text Extractor equivalent that I'm missing? I've tried Normcap, Frog, textsnatch...


On the Mac side, can confirm how useful this is. As soon as transparent text selection in images was added to iOS and macOS, it went from that being a feature I'd never even though about, to becoming a table-stakes feature for considering a GUI platform basically "complete". It's very weird and annoying when I'm on something that doesn't have it, now. Crazy for a piece of functionality I'd never even thought to try to find a solution for, until it was simply handed to me and worked automatically.

If you’re in the mood for an almost unbearably moving one, would recommend Nobody Knows.


Saw that (excellent), did not know it was Koreeda.


The memory in the Cray was external and there are RP2350 boards with 16MB of QSPI flash, here’s one of them:
