  • What's your favorite Linux Desktop software?

    Jump

  • My only complaint about Okular is when it comes to form fillable PDFs. I usually prefer using the inbuilt Firefox pdf reader for those.

  • Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application

    Jump

  • There's also plenty of FOSS obsidianlikes. Logseq looks promising, but I'm sticking with Obsidian because I rely a lot on some of the extensions.

    Either way, migrating is as easy as opening the same folder in one app or the other, so you might as well try.

  • escalator rule

  • "an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs"

  • Thinking of jumping into Duolingo again and running into quite the conundrum

  • is there a toki pona page on Lemmy already?

  • UK: Police hunt for thief who stole 14 beehives in Welsh town

    Jump

  • The culprit went into hiving.

  • GNOME Devs Are Working on a New Window Management System

    Jump

  • Interesting! Krohnkite still works so well for my use case that I didn't even realize it was unmantained. I'll give those two a shot!

  • GNOME Devs Are Working on a New Window Management System

    Jump

  • I've been using Krohnkite on KDE. Are those you mentioned better?

  • Final Fantasy 6 director is still pushing for a remake

    Jump

  • I'm not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel 'neither here nor there' with some elements in pixel art and some not.

    Octopath Traveler's the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.

  • use fi(rule)fox

    Jump

  • Of course! Thanks for the heads up.

  • use fi(rule)fox

    Jump

  • My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I'll remove it if anyone asks.

  • What are your best lateral thinking puzzles?

    Jump

  • Tom Scott runs a Podcast (and formerly a gameshow) called Lateral, which is basically all lateral thinking puzzles. I highly recommend it.

  • use fi(rule)fox

    Jump

  • I didn't make the meme, but closed-source browsers should all be a no-go. Plus, OS exclusivity is never great.

  • use fi(rule)fox

    Jump

  • fuck, knock that one down a rank too

  • Thoughts on the wasp and pillar discourses?

    Jump

  • 196 column discourse always sleeps on the richly decorated arabic versions of corinthian capitals, like this or this (both from moorish spain)

  • Lightweight touch-capable distro

    Jump

  • I second Plasma as a touch desktop. Neon is pretty great, but I'm not a huge fan of the LTS base + bleeding edge DE combo. I'd personally recommend either Fedora KDE for frequent updates overall, or Kubuntu LTS for general stabilty.

  • What is your opinion on GNOME 3 and 4? Why do you like/dislike it?

    Jump

  • Coming from Windows, gnome was the desktop that taught me how to use and appreciate multiple workspaces. I'm now entirely sold on KDE, but there's something to be said about the gnome workflow.

  • Bookwyrm - Decentralized network to discover and track your book read

    Jump

  • Just made an account, and was glad to see an option to import from Calibre. My only gripe so far is that it's pretty bad at recognizing books with no ISBN registered. It seemed to think a ton of my books were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or The Fellowship of the Ring for some reason (or Marx's Capital in French).

  • Please suggest me songs that feel like a conversation

    Jump

  • Some classics I didn't see here yet:

    Pink Floyd - Wish you were here (all the songs from that album, come to think of it, are in the second person and usually pretty specificially talking to Syd Barrett)

    Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone

    Now for a completely different take on "feeling like a conversation", I have an instrumental recommendation: Bernstein and Brubeck - Dialogues for Jazz Combo and Orchestra

    Edit: just noticed that a lot of songs by Steely Dan are also in the second person, usually directed and criminal or tragic figures. Kid Charlemagne is my favorite in that format.

  • Philosophy Recommendations?

    Jump

  • If you want to learn how to read a primary philosophical text, there's no better place to start than Descartes's Meditations. Besides its historical importance, all the arguments are superbly structured and make a point of not assuming anything at all (about prior readings or about the existence of things in general).

    A lot of the conclusions will come off as strange or just plain wrong, but figuring out why is also a great exercise.
