They don't breath under water, so to extrapolate; we might also exhale plastic particles

Yes, because who wouldn't want to live for centuries amidst floods, fire, raging mad politicians and greedy billionaires...

Using scissors to cut crumbly buns or croissants, or a pizza

You already got some great tips, but i wanted to caution you about the bite. If it left a wound, particularly a deep puncture wound, maybe visit the doctor. Cat bites are notorious and can be very dangerous.

Because swear words are, to me, an expression of anger or irritation. Swearing would therefore reinforce angry mindstates.

Yes, this was both very helpful for my mind, i'm happy and calm most of the time, and others appreciate it too and are happy to be around me.

It didn't stop me from expressing anything. It just makes me pause to think of a better, kinder way to express myself, without making other people angry. It helps communicating with other people in a more friendly, helpful way. When i would be angry, it would be hard to listen to other people.

Seems like they would first look if there is enough money and enough users to make it worthwhile, and then go looking for developers.

Don't get me wrong, i have been a paying client for many years and really love the products and the company, but everything they say about linux... I don't know, this just sounds like an excuse to continue to prioritize other things and get the linux users off their backs for a while longer.

6 months ago he said: "We want to, but we can't find Linux developers."

Great, then it will starts actually making pizzas filled with glue

That's what i do, but they never really listen, even though i usually ask to just cut off x cm or something.

The content of this document is not accessible. Nevertheless, a request for access can be sent to the department.

I have no idea, apparently she was found as a street puppy. She is not very big, but bigger than a dachshund

 

It's a very small request, but in the photon web app, all my accounts are shown and i just need to select one of them. In Boost, i need to click the down arrow and then select. It's a very, very minor request, but thought i would mention it anyway.

Sorry for the separate thread, but maybe it gives some people a little Boost to support the dev.

Like many others have said; it feels like home again and i can finally delete some (not all, just in case) other apps from my phone.

Thank you dev!

 

Is there an easy way to see if something is an instance or community on the fediverse, or 'just' a forum on the web? For instance, would it always be mentioned in a sidebar? I know there are lists of instances, but i am hoping for something easier. I might be overlooking something glaringly obvious, but i thought i would ask.

Hi all,

I was thinking of gifting someone, who is going to travel, an airtag-ish thing for android. I don't know the first thing about them, but a quick search learned me that:

  • airtag is for apple - the person uses android

  • some of these gadgets have subscriptions - i don't want to saddle them up with additional money grabs

  • Tile seems to have a shady history, in the past selling locations of millions of users

It needs to be suitable for europe and asia, if that matters.

Could you give me some recommendations or info what i would need to consider?

Thank you for reading. Have a great day!

EDIT: thank you for your replies. I don't think i'm going to pursue this type of gift any further then.

Many people put some all-purpose cleaner on a sponge, clean and rinse. Instead, get a spray bottle and premix cleaner with the right amount of water. When cleaning, just spray and clean. You can do a long time with a spray bottle. It's a small tip, but it will save a lot of cleaner.

Edited to clarify

 

I don't know if this has been asked for before, but i would prefer to keep scrolling, instead of having to tap for the next page. I'm sure having to click 'next' is useful when you want to portion out a scroll addiction, but if people are divided between scrolling or not, maybe it could be an option in the settings?

And it would be nice if i could choose how much to narrow the side bars, so i can decide how much room to give the middle column where the posts are listed. Just like you can in for instance a file explorer.

I really like Photon a lot by the way!

Do you buy DRM-free books? (self.sciencefiction)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Papanca to c/sciencefiction
 

Hi all,

I hope i'm allowed to ask this, but i was wondering; do you buy your ebooks free from DRM? If so, where can you buy them, preferably globally?

EDIT: thank you all for your valuable comments, it's much appreciated! Have a great weekend :-)

Epub to pdf converter? (self.FOSSdroid)
 

Hi all,

Is there a good app with which i can convert epub books to pdf files? I can't seem to find them, only converting the other way around, or online converters.

 

Hi all, Perhaps a dumb question: I imported my google calendar into the proton calendar. I now seem to have 3 proton calendars (listed as my calendars in proton), but i only want one. The other 2 would then be deleted. I don't see a way to merge those calendars into the default one. Is there a way, or would i need to painstakingly copy all events into the default one?

Bug; comments gone? (self.lemmyconnect)
 

Hi all, For days now I can't view any comments from any community with this account. I get a message that says: no comments. But at first, i got an api error i think ( i can't look it up to check, because today everything just says that there are no comments, even when it shows there are hundreds of comments). I can read the comments when reading them on the web, or with Jerboa for instance. And i have another account at beehaw, and there i can read the comments too.

 

Like the title says. I've been reading recommendations about this OS, so i went to look on their homepage, but you can only install it on Pixel phones, which are from google, right? In other words, to get rid of google products, you still have to spend your money on google? Am i missing something? I thought there were other custom roms where you can choose whether or not to add to add google products? Please be gentle, i'm a noob when it comes to custom roms. I have had CyanogenMod on a phone many years ago, but someone helped me do it. And i'm really not current with changes in recent custom roms.

Google Enhanced Safe Browsing (self.privacyguides)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Papanca to c/[email protected]
 

So, just got a notification about google's new enhanced safe browsing. It says: To help protect your account and data, Enhanced Safe Browsing for your account checks for risky: - URLs - Downloads - Browser extensions - System information - Small sample of pages

How it uses it:

  • Uses information from Enhanced Safe Browsing to improve your security in Google Chrome and Gmail when you're signed in.
  • Temporarily associates information from Enhanced Safe Browsing with your Google Account when you’re signed in to help protect you across Google apps.

It seems to me as if, whenever they come up with new changes, it's a double edged sword where they claim everything gets better and safer, while my paranoid mind just sees it as new tricks to get even more data...
