On the affirmative, ALWAYS check whatever advice you hear/read on the internet. Be ultra careful with your health and safety.
Dangling on a hyphen.

When you’re about to face a high risk, high reward situation, you should willfully, willingly start to hyperventilate, as this helps your brain …
NEVER take any stranger’s advice on the internet as credible without checking it with a specialist. This is especially true when said advice relates to your health and/or safety.
From the top of my head, I would name Okular. No other FOSS pdf reader is as complete and easy to use.
Emoji Dick is a crowd sourced and crowd funded translation of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick into Japanese emoticons called emoji.
It’s crazy to think that this level of intrusion is considered fair game. The way these behaviors are normalized is completely dystopian.
Long press the enter/return button (round, with an left point arrow). It’ll show you the emoji and clipboard buttons. 💡
Alternatively, you can turn on the dedicated emoji button on OpenBoard’s preferences.
You can also long press the comma button. There you’ll find the preferences and emoji buttons.
I’m so thrilled right now! I’m already typing this reply on OpenBoard and I’m loving it.
Gboard was also a big hurdle to my need to degoogle my phone. But not anymore!
Thank you so much. You’ve brighten my day. I’m both happy for knowing this and for finding about it on the fediverse.
I’m techie by gift, not by trade. I’m an MA in philosophy. Teaching is my main activity.
Well, I’m here. I’m loving the fediverse. And I’m kinda from outside tech, although being IT literate. So perhaps I should be counted as having a technical background.
The endgoal: Linux from scratch.
Lemmy, currently. This comment proves my point.
These are just a few of the new things I’ve added/discovered recently thanks to Lemmy:
autoload -Uz tetriscurses
, then run tetriscurses
. A whole afternoon goes away;These are the ones that I can come up with from the top of my head. Try them out. If you heard of them from me, know you are actually learning them from Lemmy.
Does I find better help here? Definitely!
Thanks to fellow lemmings, for the past 2 weeks I have discovered a lot new solutions/apps/plugins! My workflow has improved a lot. So much so that now I spend more and more time on Lemmy, looking for new things. My productivity is almost down to zero. I’m loving it.
Install trash
. Then create an alias for it. rm='trash -frv'
. Problem solved.
Thanks for pointing out Consent-O-Matic. I’m EU based, so that really comes handy.
I’m having a blast with this kind of suggestions. And because of that I’m loving Lemmy. Thanks!
Dogs are a good example of how wonderful our selective breeding has been. Well, it’s great for us, no doubt. Who doesn’t love a tiny tiny dog? But for the dog? Probably not the best.
Cool, we have better paper making factories with better trees for the purpose. But what about all the unknown unknowns of changing the genes of the tree? How will that affect the environment? Is this carefully tested, monitored, giving it enough time to truly understand the consequences? Or are we just breeding a nice cute little dog again, without caring about what happens to the thing modified?
You see, this has nothing to do with taking sides. I wonder. Just that. And yeah, it still feels dumb to me. But being no expert, perhaps reality will prove me wrong. I do hope so, because I hope for a brighter future, not a gloomy one.
Thanks for posting about this extension! It’s a very welcomed addition to make YouTube more bearable.
Here’s my point. We live under global capitalism. It’s just how things are, right?
And capitalism, just like, say, life, has its ways. It creates an environment where certain outcomes are more likely than others.
Making an observation about it does not make me partial to other systems. I have no such preference. What I observe is just that capitalism, just like life, always finds a way—its way.
I heard someone mentioned the danger of using CRISPR to make better soldiers. It’s crazy, right? But why isn’t crazy to tinker with a tree? Yes, it may make those trees a better product. And all seems good. But once you do that to the tree, and it becomes profitable, the incentive is there to make that true for everything else.
I think it’s dumb because such power (CRISPR) should be treated with great care. Curing a disease? Go for it. But be careful. Now, to make a better product? I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way.
Perhaps I’m not seeing the whole picture. Or maybe I should take some bioethics class again.
But whatever may be the case, my point is not there all proletariat the world over should unite.
Howl’s Moving Castle. I had an obsession with it at the time.
Any BBC production of Jane Austen’s novels.
I find useful not to think both myself or others as smart/not smart, but wise or wiser. Being smart is not always wise. Playing dumb may be wise at times. Wisdom goes way beyond smartness, as it’s a mixture of kindness, experience, sensibility, and virtue.
