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!

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!

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.

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

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”

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. 😆

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.

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!

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?

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.

Do people really make Arch their personality? Ive been using Arch-based distros since forever and never really met someone like that. I thought it was just a meme.

I like the minimalism and ability to control more parts of your system as opposed to an automated install process doing everything for you. But you don’t have to do that much manually. The main pacstrap step basically sets up your whole system anyway. It’s not that different to other mainstream distros. I have always just used it like any other distro.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the bleeding-edge packages and AUR are nice features too. And being rolling release to a lesser extent, just my preference.

I thought it was just a meme.

I see way more complaints about ‘elitist Arch users’ than I ever do comments from actual elitist Arch users.

llii ,

Also, I never saw anyone saying anything about a “year of the Linux Desktop”. It’s just a meme.

weststadtgesicht ,

Both were a thing in discussions many years ago. That’s why they became a meme.

But since then it’s basically only used ironically because people quickly noticed they’re a meme.

I’m still sitting on my LG V60 and dreading the day I have to lose my headphone jack and micro SD slot.

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

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s portrayal of romance. Each relationship seems thoroughly inconvenient to both parties when it starts and it never actually ends well.
