My favorite book that I read in one sitting (though not hard to do because it’s so short) is The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman… made me cry with its beauty!
Well an account on a lemmy instance is an account on the fediverse, since Lemmy is a part of the fediverse. That all is to say that you should only need a single account on a single Lemmy instance (just pick one that you like the vibes of) and you’ll be good to go. For example I come come from lemmy.sdf.org but I’m able to post over here outside of that instance and subscribe to kbin communities.
Going back to the email analogy, it’s like how users on Gmail can chat with users on outlook and with users on other email providers without any issues - they all work together (mostly) seamlessly!
I used to frequently transfer money between two countries, the process of which required talking to a human at the time. During one such conversation, the Customer Service Representative asked a new question: “What’s the purpose of the transfer?” This immediately took me aback, partly because I didn’t expect the question and partly because, much like your father, it’s none of their fucking business.
After stumbling a bit, I learned the magic phrase “personal use”. After that, every transfer I initiated was for “personal use” until such time as the bank automated the process and I no longer needed to speak to a human to transfer the money across an international border.
I have no earthly idea why “personal use” is acceptable, since it conveys no more useful information than writing nothing, but then it’s not my policy and I don’t care.
How is search at the moment? I’m trying to get to communities I know exist via search but can’t. I wait forever but it still says “No results” even high I know there should be.
I feel that TNG is getting pretty dated too, it’s older now than TOS was when it aired. It also has some pretty rough spots early on. Very good show and generally a good start for new viewers, but I feel a curated list of the best TOS episodes would also make a good start.
I’m waiting for my preordered shiftphone 8 to be released. They promised to cooperate with custom rom devs and improve the experience compared to their current model the Shift6mq which already can run postmarketos.
Also Nextcloud is a fantastic alternative to google/microsoft/apple cloud.
Thank you for postmarketos. I had a look and it actually looks exactly like what I had in mind. They even have a community on lemmy at lemmv.ml/c/postmarketosI now have to check out the shiftphones and see if Linux supports apps like the banking apps, 2FA, etc. or if they can be emulated through some kind of Android laver. Otherwise it would have to be an Android OS without Google or a separate phone for those apps.
postmarketos is the most stable and matured mainline linux mobile os. For 2FA, banking apps and android apps in general there is waydroid ehich I already use on my fedora laptop.
I think some people do this. However, I’m 30, live with my long term partner, and have a bigger friend group than I’ve ever had before, with weekly events. My partner isn’t a stand-in for socialization.
I’ll fully admit I have some advantages because I have no kids, and a job that pays decently and isn’t too demanding. I’ve met people through:
dating apps. This is how I met my partner and also a very good platonic friend
activist/interest groups. Got involved with a local urbanism group, now I know many of the people there
house parties. I got lucky here, I met someone that throws monthly house parties, went to those regularly, and made some very good friends that way
reconnecting with childhood friends. Again, lucky, but a few of my HS and college friends live in the same city as me and we reconnected and hang out.
The one bit of concrete wisdom I think I have here is that if you go to the same social place regularly you’ll see the same people and if you put yourself out there you’ll get to know some of those people. Activist groups or meetup groups are great because you probably already have some things in common.
If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select “Configure…” and then “Shortcuts”, you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.
That’s more or less what I do, but it’s not quite killring’y. The workflow I’m looking for is: paste as usual with ctlr-v, then press some shortcut to replace the pasted with the previous item in the “ring”, without having to go through the backwards process of first enabling klipper, then choosing item, and only then entering it.
But I’ll play around with it some more and see what I figure out.
Gotcha. Yes, haven’t found anything that allows that specifically. But in my case I don’t need to enable klipper; it’s always active. No matter which windows I’m in, pressing C-v will paste whatever it’s in the clipboard; whereas pressing e.g. S-v C-v will choose the previous item in the clipboard and then paste it.
PS: there’s also another functionality of Klipper that I use from time to time: you can make the whole “killring” appear, and choose the entry you want to paste with the mouse: as you click it it’s entered. This is also bound to a key (in my case S-w) and works no matter which window I’m in.
Which functionality is that? I haven’t found anything that enters the selected item directly, without having to C-v it afterwards. Besides, the mouse is a thing I want to avoid… I played around with some other functions, however, and I found out that cycling through the history items works fairly well for me.
For the list of all clipboard items, ready to be chosen: Klipper tray icon, right-click → Configure clipboard → Shortcuts→ “Open Klipper at Mouse Position”. You can choose from the list either with the up/down keys, or with the mouse.
Klipper’s item-cycling doesn’t require more keystrokes than Emac’s. For example, what I achieve in Emacs with C-y M-y M-y I achieve with Klipper with H-v H-v C-v (no need to operate with the mouse). H is the “hyper” or “super” key – but the keys are fully customizable.
PS: actually with Klipper I can go back and forth in the clipboard history too. I don’t know if this is possible in Emacs. For example, if I go back two history steps, and then realize that I went too far by one step, I’d type H-v H-v H-C-v C-v. The H-C-v is “undoing” the last H-v.
It's like email: after you send it off your own MTA, you have no control over what happens to the copy at the far end, or any other MTAs it happens to traverse.
ActivityPub does distribute updates to posts, including delete intents, but instances are not bound to honor it. Same as how recalling an email isn't guaranteed to work.
Disturbing? I'd say more that it's sobering. I think it should prompt people to think more carefully about their accountability for what and how they post. I also may come to change this opinion over time.
