U de Recife

I love copyq so much. It’s definitely one of the apps I first install in a new deployment. When I hear of the troubles some people go through for not having a clipboard manager, I just smh and think, ‘copyq’.

Paris, Texas. Yeah, from the movie.

Several options:

• Master PDF Editor, version 4 is free (and in AUR);
• PDF Arranger, good for bulk edits;
• jPdfTweak, a veritable swiss knife of PDF editing;
• jPDFBookmarks, the best for editing bookmarks;
• Briss, for bulk cutting PDFs;
• Krop, also for cutting, but less flexible.

I had many issues since the upgrade. After getting tired of hunting them down individually, my one-time solution was to nuke my old configs and simply start anew. Fresh home, .config, .local.

I use both htop and btop—depending on the mood. htop is less prettier, but more reliable. But sometimes I want pretty and I go with btop. top is where I draw the line. It’s too nerdy for me.

I would say you’re actually witnessing the very real phenomenon of language-drift. Languages evolve for a billion reasons, but there’s no right or wrong state of language.

That’s why we distinguish between language, dialect, idiolect, sociolect. Each bearer of language is also a producer of language. Their version is just theirs, in whatever many ways that makes that version unique.

(Check linguistics to better understand this process of language-drifting )

You make a good point worth considering. For all non-USians/non-Chinese out there, all those social media giants are foreign corporations belonging to foreign powers.

The spying part of it is bad for the spying, not for who’s doing it.

You’re not wrong. Why would you? Either works or not. You said it yourself, it’s work-related. The rest you could probably work around them if sufficiently motivated.

Hello! Nice to meet you. I know and love your kind. One monitor is pretty standard, so I have a lot of friends just like you.

Yup, 3 monitors user here. I guarantee it’s not that uncommon.

(And yes, I’m still running X11)

Logseq user here too.

However, for a quick, transitory note, I use Kate or, more recently, Xpad. Only then I transcribe the content to Logseq. Why?

Because while Logseq is great as an outliner and for network thinking, it’s as graceful and agile as an elephant.

The gist of what I’m saying is: for now, and for me (hardware might be playing a role here, but I don’t think so) Logseq is a good note database. For quick typing, I have to use something else.

Espanso. A text expander that also runs commands.

Not OP, but here’s how. You live-distro yourself to a running command prompt. You then connect to the internet, mount the partitions, finally chrooting to your computer’s storage install. Once there, you clear pacman’s lock from var and run a full update: pacman -Syyu. Wait until it finishes, exit chroot, reboot. 9 out 10 times works as expected.

Early 2002. I read about Linux somewhere, and I was trying a Mandrake install. I also read about control+alt+Backpage, which eagerly proceed to try.

Now I’m on tty, cursor blinking, thinking: I broke Linux.

Scared, I cleverly undid that mistake by simply… reinstalling the distro. Ignorance is NOT bliss.

I had two issues triggering the ad blocking warning. Mind that I’m running Firefox and Ublock origin.

The first was the setting to block ads on YouTube enhancer add on.

The second was a rule I created on Ublock origin to block the notification bell.

After clearing both, no more warnings. At least for now.

I always read out loud. Always. And I do most of my readings while walking. So I imagine hearing me waking around taking to myself make other people think ‘wtf?’.

Vegan when eating, Arch Linuxing when computing, communist when sharing, capitalist when investing, …

The list knows no end. Why not just say what’s appropriate for each particular circumstance?

For arch Linux, there’s Topgrade. All there, in just one command. All. There. Official repos, AUR, even firmware upgrades.

Here’s my alias to update the whole system. It includes fetching the fastest mirrors, topgrade, and cleaning the update’s packages cache. Tailor it to your own needs.

alias update='sudo fetchmirrors -q -s 5 -v -c PT && yes | topgrade -c -y --no-retry --disable gem --disable vim --disable emacs --disable gem --disable sdkman --disable rustup --disable cargo --disable remotes && sudo paccache -rk 0'

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Thanks for that link. I didn’t know disroot hosted Jitsi.

For others in this thread, here’s a list of Jitsi instances: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-instances/

Having opinions about other peoples gender, sexual orientation, private matters. Also legislating about that.
