It’s Maxar satellite imagery with a high off-nadir angle. European Space Imaging use it as an example in this article about ONA.

And by extension, Yule and Christmas, Ēosturmōnaþ and Easter, Samhain and Hallowe’en.
I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is “a Lego”; in Europe, that’s typically not the way the word is used.
I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I’d misread your comment, and I don’t want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you’ve said…
How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?
Torisashi too - raw chicken sashimi. I think they sometimes blanch it.
I believe early burgers and Hamburg steaks were very often served raw or rare. That’s not to say there’s no risk – of course there is – but it’s not wild.
Similarly, steak tartare is really available in restaurants across France (and perhaps in the States?) and is raw ground beef.
The pun works verbally if a werewolf (literally “man-wolf”) is understood to be a hybrid of man and wolf during the full moon. Instead of changing form into a werewolf, he’s changed form into a warehouse.
Written down, if he turned into a half-man, half-house he’d be a werehouse, and if he turned into a half-man, half-warehouse he’d be a werewarehouse.

2·12 days agoIf you’re using KDE, apparently changing your system application style might help - Breeze, for example, has an option for visible scroll arrows. Link.
In any case, it’s a GTK thing, not a LibreOffice thing.

2·12 days agoThis strikes me as an odd comment. Did you have a specific reason to expect that 26.2 would include this, such as an enhancement request that you’d logged (or had been following) via their community channels?

In the release notes you’ve linked, there’s a heading called User Interface. It’s a fair number of small QOL improvements.

This is a way bigger faux pas than an ignorable “hi” in my books. We’ve got tools for organizing a meeting. You can check my availability alongside everyone else’s, so we don’t spend three hours playing Calendar Battleships.
Even if it’s just the two of us, don’t ask me to check my calendar because you can’t be bothered to.

Totally agree – that’s why I park my truck in the right lane of the three-lane highway near my office. The traffic still has two lanes to use, it’s plenty of space.
My neighbors in my apartment block have been complaining that I’ve filled one of the elevators with storage crates, too, but there’s another elevator and a set of stairs, so I don’t know what’s got them so upset.







It’s satellite imagery, yes, but from an oblique (high off-nadir) angle. The imagery is from DigitalGlobe, who are now Maxar.
