Yup, Plasma 6 has been pretty great. Had to fix a couple of issues with Nvidia but it's been incredibly smooth.

I swear, I can't tell the difference between AI answers and the shit people make up with inspect element for the memes anymore.

I personally use Matrix. I haven't gotten very far into using it but it does have groups, text, calls, and encrypted messaging so I'd say check it out.

Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I've seen is like two bucks.

Element. It's a popular client for Matrix, which is a federated messaging platform (similar to lemmy and mastodon) with different instances.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out! I'll see about getting some gun oil and a small enough sharpener (the only one I own apparently doesn't accommodate tiny pocket knives), and I may post an update on how it looks. I'm glad to see this little guy can be restored to working condition since a handy knife like this deserves a purpose, but I am a little sad that the scales might not have much longer (relatively speaking).

You're not the only one that thought that. I really need to clarify that I know it's a pocket knife in the title so I don't keep freaking people out as they're casually scrolling.

I got some more pictures so hopefully this lighting works a little better. Washed in soapy water as requested and dried. I'm quite sure I've already messed some things up on it unfortunately but hopefully I can save it just a bit for at least usability. The handle material was already flaking when we found it and the inside is definitely pretty dirty/rusty still.

P.S. thanks for your help on this. Your response is really detailed and helpful.

Wow, that's a lot! Thanks so much for the path through the jungle of old pocket knives! I'm gonna take a look at some of these points and see what else I can find.

Hm interesting. Looking up "1940s solingen pocket knife" gives me some results with either similar profiles or similar grips to the one I have. Nothing identical but it's a good start. Thank you!

Thankfully I'm a bit more aware of things than that. I have multiple pocket knives already but they're all modern while this is distinctly not. I perhaps could have been more descriptive haha

Honestly, I'd like to see this version. This might explain better why the machines using humans for their own benefit is such a bad thing since, presumably, using humans as CPUs would take up brain power that we could use to build a better society or something.
