Yeah, sure, there's no problem playing "baby it's cold outside" every christmas because "it was a product of its time" but if I go around singing "let's get a few people tied up in trees and sacrifice them to odin this midwinter solstice" which was an incredibly popular song at the time (if a lot more pithy in the original ancient norse) then I get chucked out of lidl

@mavica cool, will do when I know

steam's saying delivery delays expected and that it'll be 6-8 working days to get to me, so might take a little while until that happens

@mavica right, I'll put the order in and find out the best way to get it in your paws

@mavica not entirely sure, don't know how big the package is (write your own jokes here) but probably under 20 quid?

quite possibly well under

@mavica £11.40 to me, then however much it is to send it your way, I'll do it if you want one

although showing "ease of setting things" next to a perpetual calendar is... an interesting decision

(perpetual calendars are massive pain in the arse to set)

I do enjoy when the swiss watch industry decides to take the piss out of stuff

if you reduce the temperature of a genderfluid person do they at some point become a gendersolid?

if so, does this also imply that really hot genderfluid people become gendergas?

@auravulpes ah, thought something might have broke

yeah, we're running an older version, but I don't recall us missing any particular security/privacy features... I'll have to double check that

@sydneyfalk wheeeeeehearsal: practising a play while also going down a water slide

@auravulpes out of interest what was the "technical reason" they brought up?

'cause I don't think anyone's reported any recently

@mavica at this point I'm officially out of ideas then, sorry bun

@mavica huh... I wonder if some other backend is claiming that scanner then...

you could try commenting out every line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf except for "plustek"

@mavica that bit I'm a bit hazy on to be honest

for a start if you set lOffonEnd to 1 it should turn the lamp off when it's finished

maybe the gamma settings might help?

all the options are described in the sane-plustek man page, if you set it to do all the calibrations it might help a bit?

@mavica hmm... all I can think of is a config problem, should be somewhere like /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf

@mavica ah, that should be provided by libsane-common

I think

@mavica hmm... you're using the sane-plustek backend for this right?
