blackn1ght , to casualuk in As an ex Redditor..

It’ll be interesting to hear your experiences here as a newcomer and compare them to how it was a year ago when I suspect is when most people joined.

WanderingSoul OP ,

It’s ok, a much quieter, smaller Reddit type of thing.

Only been here a few days but people seem to be more respectful.

NuraShiny , to casualuk in What little things have annoyed you this morning?

The company demands I be in the office 2 days a week. This wouldn’t be so bad, except that the internet isn’t functioning but I still have to be here because policy is policy.

blackn1ght ,

What’s their reasoning that you have to be in the office?

florge ,

Probably something like ‘We’re paying for this space, so you better fucking use it’.

blackn1ght , to casualuk in What little things have annoyed you this morning?

I’ve been on holiday for two weeks and today is my first day back. So I’d say having to go to work this morning annoyed me!

Khanzarate , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

Another vote for “well-written”. I have read both, and both are good if they’re done well. Besides, I don’t usually have the option when I find a book, the summaries rarely tell me and I’m not gonna dig through the middle of the book for the answer to this question.

What I care about is being able to connect with the characters. If I can connect to someone in a realistic relationship, great. If I can connect to someone and they get that idealist treatment, great. If I can connect to someone and it seems like a romance but it’s abusive and the book becomes a realistic horror novel, that’s also great, I’ll feel the fear and desperation.

I never have wanted to read a book to have a specific experience, is my point. If your experience was well-written, it would be good.

sgibson5150 , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

I have already said “goodbye google” and “hello moto”, but long story short I had to factory reset my old Pixel 6 last night and ran smack dab into this:

Right now I don’t even know how to turn the damn thing off. 😆

Kanda , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Use it as your daily driver and get really comfortable with it. After this, complain loudly when you see someone doing anything in a different way. Then say “I use Arch btw”

Findmysec , to piracy in PSA: Download on your hard drives, never trust online hosting.

Can someone explain to me why these services were on the clearnet to begin with?

ModerateImprovement OP ,
@ModerateImprovement@sh.itjust.works avatar

i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.

Findmysec ,

I guess z-library needs to make a template on how to get a setup like theirs working. Unlimited subdomains lmao

ArcaneSlime ,

Ads work on .onion. I’d never click one, but you can show a banner no problem.

gigachad , to linux in De-duplicating/merging contacts in a .vcf file

I’m also interested in this. After moving my contacts 3 times in a vcs in the ladt yeard it is an absolute mess…

Churbleyimyam OP ,

Yeah, after importing contacts back and forth between my android phone and Thunderbird I’m in the same boat. Trying to avoid manually selecting the 400 or so duplicates to delete them… The duplicates aren’t visibly listed in my phone’s app but when I export a .vcf file from it and open it in Thunderbird or Gnome Contacts they are. I’m surprised that my desktop apps don’t have something inbuilt to deal with this.

gigachad ,

I tried to do this manually on my phone, but no chance. The contacts randomly split or merge, then another telegram account pops up, the next contact is protected and therefore cannot be removed but only be hidden. Some contacts are not on DEVICE, so messaging apps cannot access them etc.

If you find a solution to sanitize vcfs let me know. I guess one day I write all the numbers onto a piece of paper and start from scratch.

Btw. I’m not sure if this community is the best place for this.

Churbleyimyam OP ,

I think I’ve found a workaround. In the Fossify Contacts app on my phone, in the settings I checked the box marked ‘merge duplicate contacts’. I then used the AOSP Contacts app to export them as a .vcf which I imported into Thunderbird, which is now showing no duplicates. I don’t know why the AOSP app is able to export without duplicates, even though it’s the Fossify app which has the ‘merge duplicate contacts’ option but there you have it…

Yeah you might want to read the 13th amendment again if you think the US isn’t using slave labor

Are_Euclidding_Me , to linux in Open source PDF viewer with Dual Page feature?
@Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net avatar

When zathura (my beloved) isn’t feature-rich enough for my needs I usually turn to okular. Sure, it’s kde, so if you’re on a pure gnome system you’re going to have to install a bunch of dependencies, but if that’s not a problem for you, okular is quite good in my experience!

SentientFishbowl OP ,

I’m on XFCE, so was hoping for an alternative to Okular!

Are_Euclidding_Me ,
@Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net avatar

Sure, that’s extremely fair! Those qt dependencies are no joke! How do you feel about Evince (apparently now called gnome document viewer)? It seems to be the standard gtk pdf viewer, but I’ve never used it, so I actually don’t know what it’s features are like. It’s a heavier application than mupdf (of course), but at least you don’t need to install qt to use it!

SentientFishbowl OP ,

I’ll have to give it a try! Hopefully not too many dependencies :)

Firefox

Firefox honestly got many really good editing features, to fulfill the needs of many people.

Stuff that PDFArranger and maybe Okular do is missing.

SentientFishbowl OP ,

Okay, after trying a few different options out I think we have a winner :) Firefox suits my needs the best, thanks for the suggestion

Andrzej , (edited ) to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I’m trying out Arch on my laptop atm, and tbh the only real advantage (at least for me) is that the packages tend to be a lot fresher than on Debian-based distros. The question is how many of your packages you really need to be that fresh.

I think a lot of Arch users feel like wizards because they connected to the home wifi using the command line, but if you’ve tinkered with (/broken then had to fix lol) other distros, you will have done all this stuff before

floofloof ,

I find OpenSUSE Tumbleweed a good solution for up-to-date packages without slow install times or hours spent compiling and configuring things. It’s straightforward but current.

A lot of internet gardens are dying these days…

lath , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

Whatever your goals for the story, shape its components to better present them. What’s the love part got to do with the rest of the story? Figure that out and adjust accordingly.
