Awesome! This was one of the last things keeping the NPO I volunteer for from switching to Proton. Hopefully sheets won’t be too far behind (as we use those quite extensively too) but at least we can start migrating our documents in the mean time.
Heh, mine arrived just this morning in record time (ETA was not for another 3 weeks!). I don’t have a Kaweco Sport to compare to since after reading and watching reviews on them, I decided to go with the M2 instead.
I am yet to ink it up (saving that for tonight) but it feels nice in the hand so far and light for a metal pen (I prefer lightweight). I’m looking forward to seeing how flexy/springy the nib writes!
My spouse is jealous mine has a farting cat and his Hongdian Black Forest doesn’t 😹
I contacted the store I got it from - they looked through every Twist they have an unfortunately all of them are scratched like that. 🙁 Does Pelikan usually have QC issues? I wouldn’t expect perfection on a cheap pen but that many being scratched seems pretty bad.
Why hasn’t Ancestry been sued then? I know there were issues around GEDmatch a while ago (never used them) in terms of privacy. Nothing I’ve read in Ancestry’s Privacy Statement says that they can legally retain data after you’ve requested deletion for an indefinite time. Are you sure it’s Ancestry you’re thinking of and not another company?
I think you have to manually enable it (may depend on your distro/DE) but SDDM works fine with Wayland as it stands now.
Use Ancestry.com instead. Ancestry asks if you want to be part of x y z. Say no to all. Also opt for Ancestry to destroy your sample. Once your test is completed, download the raw data file. Then request your data and account to be deleted.
You can then use services like Promethease to give you information on any potential genetic issues.
I don’t know if 23 and me offers the same level of privacy as only have experience with Ancestry.com.
Make sure whichever service you use, you read the privacy statement.
Also with Ancestry (dunno if 23&me does it), you can opt out of all their suggested extra opt ins, download your raw data and then request them to destroy your sample and delete your account.
Yes, absolutely. I used to pirate almost everything because I was too poor to afford most things. Nowadays I can afford more (albeit still poor so some piracy is still out of necessity for monetary reasons). Sometimes I pirate as a try before I buy. Watching/reading reviews just doesn’t always cut it and the only way to know if something is useful/enjoyable if trying it out first. And some things I intentionally pirate even if I can afford because I have an ethical and moral objection to giving money to the company/creator (like Amazon, Disney, Adobe, etc.). And in those instances I also try to pay it forward as much as possible by direct supporting creators, donating to FOSS, charities, FSF, Internet Archive, etc.

Reminds me of my Windows XP days when I used to customise the hell out of everything I could… custom boot screen… and yes custom BSOD. Which I switched to red 🟥❗ One day my PC RSODs in front of a family member and he said, “Oh shit, that must be really bad if it’s red instead of blue!” 😂
Sorry been a bit useless with keeping up lately. It doesn’t stick out. They’re very clearly a scratch as plastic has been removed (divot rather than proud or debossed rather than embossed or indented rather than protruding… sorry got a bit carried away there with the synonyms and antonyms 😅). All three blemishes are different too - different angles, curves, lengths and depths.
I decided not to sweat it any more though. Yes, it’s annoying to have a scratched pen straight out of the box but it can’t be replaced with something unscratched and the nib writes so smoothly it makes up for it 🙃
