International war criminal to come get pats on the back says unconditional supporter of domestic insurrectionist and life-long criminal.

Friend's grandfather used to say...

The hurrier I go the behinder I get.

And yet their makeup is impeccable. Article says "young people", but curiously only cute women in the pictures.

"It looks cute, and yet, you don't lose that feeling of sexiness." Ah, the all important feeling of sexiness in the office that women strive for.

As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient... I'm amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.

AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It's the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn't do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.

A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?

From what I'm hearing doomscrolling is quite difficult to achieve on mastodon. People are mostly horribly nice and supportive and stuff. And there's no cool vampire algorithm exploiting heightened emotions. But where there's a will, there's a way! You can do it. Choose your doom-y hashtags carefully, my friend! We believe in you.

Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander

If just annotating, I'd also suggest Okular. It's pretty good at notes, highlighting, etc.

I haven't tried it but I've been thinking about it... Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

Probably the easiest way to avoid it is to simply rename it to something less scary sounding. Maybe something like Alive Enhanced Rich Content Internet Theory for Human People! See, not a problem now.

Also maybe we should reread Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It has a storyline about a guy who finds out he is the only actual real person on earth. Everyone else are robots. And he wants to know why.

Here is the study, "Assessment of Stoichiometric Autocatalysis across Element Groups", linked in the last paragraph of the article for your enjoyment: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.3c07041

Note at top of developer web site:

Distribution of Enhancer for YouTube™ temporarily stopped! Due to the countless changes that the YouTube developers have made, Enhancer for YouTube™ is now completely broken for Firefox (partially works for Chromium based browsers) so I had to pause its distribution.

So far I've found the Improve YouTube extension does many (but not all) of the things Enhancer did.

I seem to recall on reddit there were a lot of subs that somehow had mods who modded hundreds of subs, and didn't participate and weren't a part of the actual communities. It seemed these people just liked collecting subs. I'd worry that with an automated system people like this (or even bots) will show up, and just start squatting (so to speak) on the mod rights to communities. Time will tell, I guess, with growth.

The wealthy NEED the airports to keep running so not to interfere with their vacation plan. Starving kids on the other hand can simply be rewoven as doormats by any good capitalist.

phanopy is an interesting mastodon front end that groups boosts periodically into a side scrolling container. The effect is that your feed is a lot cleaner, but you still can look at boosts if you want to.

By crikey, I've been tracking this one all day following its ridiculous chewing sounds. Now I've barely grounded the blighter and it's snoring like all get out! I think we best likely leave this one alone, it's starting to drool.

MasterPDF Editor is quite good. In the past I found the windows keygen works with linux version. You have to block it from accessing internet though, or it will phone home to verify. This was a while ago I used it, so my info may be slightly out of date. Here's one way to block it from having internet access, start with this command: bwrap --bind / / --unshare-net masterpdfeditor5

Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion... because it is seriously doubtful they've come back for any good reason.

Interesting perspective. Maybe you could find some good articles with more nuance to post?

Multi-reddit-like functionality.

Users being able to group communities together themselves might also be a potential solution to the many, many posts complaining about the fragmentation of identical communities across instances.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.

Maybe journa.host public feed? https://journa.host/public/local

Or better, use the elk.zone interface: https://elk.zone/journa.host/public/local

It's a mastodon instance for verified journalists, and so.... you know. If it bleeds it leads...

(I'm not [entirely] serious... just as the cartoon the post link leads to isn't.... [entirely?]...)

Could someone please cure me of my Dredmor addiction? 12 years later and I'm still rolling random builds. Diggles are my only friends.

Maybe check out Pop! OS

But, yes, nearly all linux software will run on any distro. And even a fair amount of windows software will run on any of them with WINE (or VirtualBox if desperate). Occasionally commercial software will get packaged in an "installer" format a particular distro doesn't know how to install. A fairly rare situation, for which there are almost always work-arounds. You can cross that bridge if you ever encounter it.

Dresses of the coat world

Where did you find the actual study? The link in the above article leads to https://purl.stanford.edu/vb515nd6874 which has an abstract, but I can't see the study.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)... But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

Vogager has a web app version, if that's what you mean by front end.

https://vger.app/

The free version of MasterPDF (as available via AUR) is fully functional, but it will add watermark if you modify any PDF page contents (and maybe other conditions).

Works well with nextcloud also.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can't do much with the Gui, can't add books etc. Also I'm already running a a web server with php so it's more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

What features are locked? I've only ever used the f-droid version, and haven't noticed anything blocked. But I don't use it much (unfortunately).

Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.

Been using free tier Feedly for many years now. It's "good enough". Before that I used Akgregator, which did a pretty decent job for a local app.

Other odd RSS adventures: I played with self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS for a while, and it is actually pretty awesome. It's automatic filtering and tagging capabilities were amazing. But I got tired of maintaining it. I toyed with NetVibes ages ago -- it is a "dashboard" oriented web site, with RSS support. It worked pretty well actually, but the UI is ... unusual. It used to be free. Maybe still is. I don't know. I found myself using the cleaner and simpler "good enough" Feedly more.

It should be pretty easy to move your RSS feed collection between apps/services as most of them support OPML format import/export. So just go ahead and try stuff and see what you like. (Just check first that it supports OPML import/export.)

I don't actually know anything. But casually to me it looked like a choice between 160% chance of it getting worse and a 300% chance of getting worse. And it's not very surprising at all in these circumstances many go for the latter for all sorts of reasons (and delusions). But I don't actually know anything.
