@apps: Ouch, that's a huge impact for just one more library.

@apps: That looks odd. Why do they have the same version number but such a large size difference? And what is MinT? A quick web search didn't find any pages containing both exact terms fedilab and mint.

@ai6yr: Yep. Last year I saw one with an even more ridiculous (read: even wider) rear tire.

@apps: I hope it will still work on older Android releases.

@puniko: Symbolbild "Internet in Deutschland"? #Neuland

@nev @ascentale #BikeNite A5 followup: Yep, requiring an app (and hence a smartphone) which is very likely leaking way more of your data than necessary, is one of my gripes with nearly every bike sharing system. (Except maybe those Brompton rental boxes seen in the UK, not sure if they require more than a credit card.)

Doing with the #KMX #recumbent #trike what it was built for (KMX stands for Kart #BMX): Doing silly and fun things like #drifting and #powerslide|s. And tipping over when the #timelapse finally worked.

So here you see me in time lapse proving that you really can tip over a low tadpole style recumbent trike, even with less friction having knobby MTB tires on tarmac. 🤪

P.S.: I'm fine. I tipped over about half of all tries. It was a lot of fun! 😁

*grrr* Mastodon is yet another FLOSS project which just closes unresolved issues after 4 years with lapidary comments: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15362#issuecomment-2501958351 :facep<Tab>

Thanks for nothing @mjankowski

@wikipedia: Phew! 😌

@xtaldave: WTF? How far has academia sunken that this was necessary?

@ascentale #BikeNite A3: I can't remember where (maybe in #CriticalMass context), but one bicycle sticker I already saw several times was "This machine fights climate change".

@realSiegfried @ascentale #BikeNite A3: No, it was the sticker from @CCitiesOrg at https://changing-cities.org/shop/

Unexpected find on a recent bicycle ride: A rare #CitroënSM in Brun Scarabé color and with vinyl-covered roof.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_SM for details about this legendary and known to be very difficult to maintain #oldtimer, a #70s cooperation between #Citroën and #Maserati (engine).

@popey: Sounds familiar. Did that with #Debian some years ago as performance at the #VCFe because I wanted to install the most recent version of Debian possible on a vintage #Thinkpad 760XD: Pentium MMX w/166MHz + 48 MB RAM

The big issue was that the Thinkpad did support a CD-ROM drive, but couldn't boot from it. So I had to start with the last Debian release which still supported installing from floppies: Debian 3.0 Woody

I then upgraded until Debian 8 Jessie—the last release running on a P1.

#30DaysOfBiking, Day 28 = #SPEZI24, Day 2: Rode my KMX recumbent trike to #SPEZI (2x 4km) and rode each of the following bikes at least once through the 750m test course: A #Portus #Cargobike with direct steering 🤩, a #Muli (both with a #3x3 https://www.3x3.bike/ hub gearbox, once manual and once electric), a Wolf&Wolf SWB #recumbent and "Big Brompty", a nice, unique 24" conversion of a #Brompton: https://www.velomobilforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/verkaufe-24-zoll-brompton-umbau-weltweit-einzigartig-spezi-messepreis-1800-00-eur.73326/

But in the end I didn't buy it: It's too high above ground for me.

@thomasfuchs: One of the reason's why I like @mntmn's #MNTReform: Its design has something of a vintage #Thinkpad brick. Same counts for the MNT Pocket Reform: Feels like the true successor of the first #EeePC #netbook, especially those with the fat 3rd-party batteries.

@debacle: Well, IIRC my Thinkpad 760XD (from the mid 90s, similar to what is in @thomasfuchs 's picture) isn't really that much lighter.

@debacle @thomasfuchs: This is my 12.1" (4:3, 1024×768) #Thinkpad 760XD with a Pentium 1 with 166 MHz and 48 MB of RAM. It's famous for its keyboard automatically raising on the back side for a comfortable typing angle when opening the lid: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:760XD

(I also have a Thinkpad 760ED which looks the same, but even has less RAM, CPU frequenz, disk and screen resolution: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:760ED)

@apps: Seems I need to open an account on Codeberg first for that. Is there a way to send it in just by e-mail? Or from the app itself?
