Something broke (changed) in Inkscape where I can no longer export a DXF file at the correct size for our laser cutter software. The DXF Export also seems to mangle the file a bit.
Time to try the "export every combo of options until I find what works" thing again. (Which I last did maybe 8 years ago, so I had a good run.)

Oh how I wish :inkscape: #Inkscape had an automatic also-save-as-PDF-on-save functionality...
inkscape -o myfile.{pdf,svg}
is nice and short, and you can easily #watchexec that, but it'd be so great if it could just auto-save a PDF version next to the SVG on save.

So it's been pointed out that steve, the #jobserver, doesn't have a #logo. Here's a first approximation. Made in #Inkscape, using lines and fonts (the apples are from Noto Sans, I think). I also have an SVG version but browsers mess it up by substituting the apples for some colorful emojis with incompatible metrics. I've added a bright background, since the actual transparent background doesn't work on black (which seems to be Mastodon default).
