/hj is a tone indicator meaning half-joking, some of these are rarely used but this is a good list of them

I think if the ability to buy something (from the provider, not ebay/secondhand or whatever) on a valid platform, at a reasonable price, without any BS (ex: bad anticheat/the cracked version provide a better service/etc), and if you can genuinely afford it, then it’s better to just buy the thing. I also believe in supporting indie companies and solo devs, they usually provide fair access anyway but if I can’t get something from them I just go without.

Outside of that, fair game in my opinion. If the seller doesn’t provide fair access to something, they’re basically asking for it.

If someone just doesn’t want to pay, fair game to them as well even if I’m not a fan of that. My views are just what I hold myself to, not what’s right or wrong for everyone.

One for people in the US:

You aren’t taxed at the higher rate for all of your income when you get a raise that puts you in a higher tax bracket, only the part that is in the range of that bracket specifically. The rest of your income below the bracket is taxed the same as before.

I’ve seen a lot of people decline promotions and raises over this, and bosses are very happy to let you continue thinking that’s how it works.

Not sure if that counts as not common knowledge, but a lot of people I know didn’t know it before.

My favorite was Infinity/Eternity for a while, but I tried out Jerboa and it kinda just stuck for me, I really like it

Poll results are pretty interesting so far too

I’ve been thinking the same thing, I stick near stable releases of distros mostly because of both breakage and I don’t like just having hundreds of updates every week, this feels like a good in-between that gets me everything I want. I don’t need the latest and greatest days or hours after release, but I certainly don’t want to be years behind either.

Not a bad idea really, if you update tons of stuff without rebooting if you have it disabled sometimes weird stuff can happen, but its not very common and usually not very bad at all. I’d leave it on if you want that extra little bit of stability, but if its just a regular every day use computer I think either way is fine.

It’s because it has offline updates enabled in Discover settings, its not a distro thing rather that Gnome and KDE have that in their software centers as a setting, and Fedora enables it by default, but it can be disabled.

It’s to make your system more stable because no packages get moved or updated during a running system causing unexpected behavior, and you also don’t have to reboot when it tells you, it’s more just a reminder that updates are waiting to be applied when you do, they could really word that better.

If you run Windows, if you want, try to run sfc /scannow in an admin command line, it scans system files and repairs any corrupt ones, sometimes it helps sometimes not but imo it’s worth a try.

I got No Man’s Sky (for some reason seeing Starfield stuff made me want to play that again, haven’t played it since launch on console) and Monster Hunter World again, really just old games I used to have on console and have been really tempted to play again since I found them on good sales

If gesture typing is the same thing as glide/swipe (I don’t really know what the feature is called) then they have this one linked on their page https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/master/app/src/main/jniLibs

It says they can’t bundle it with the app because they can’t find any open source ones, so the library linked isn’t FOSS I think and made by Google but it should still work if you don’t mind that.

It looks like they plan to add it on F-droid sometime, not sure if it will reach gplay though. They originally said no to releasing anywhere but Github but F-Droid is on their roadmap now it seems after a rename and a new icon.

They offer a free tier directly from the Onlyoffice team which is likely enough for what you’re looking for if you’re okay with it being hosted by them, as for hosting it yourself their docs are here

Going good! Got a few new games, been feeling a bit blah but am getting over that gradually. Been cutting my social media usage a bit, I deleted my microblogging fediverse account and pretty much just have Lemmy now which still eats up a lot of my time but still a huge improvement since I’m not spending nearly as much time online anymore as I was, it was getting to be a bit too much.

Edit: Also just today, I decided to drop my Japanese studying that I’ve been doing for a few years and fully focus on Castilian Spanish that I’ve been learning on the side instead. Japanese was getting to be way too much of a workload and timesink for me. Hoping this helps get rid of some stress.

I’ll still be hanging out on Beehaw regardless of what happens or where it ends up, but in case a migration does happen, are there any good instance recommendations for us that want to keep Lemmy accounts as well but want to have a nicer more moderated experience?

A good bit of the other instances I’ve tried seem to moderate as a last resort or final straw, which just ends being not very effective overall.

+1 for OnlyOffice cloud, sounds like exactly what OP is looking for

Snaps mount themselves as a filesystem which floods the menu with needless entries when you’re trying to monitor/manage filesystems

I’m all for the second USB-C, I feel like this is more likely to possibly happen compared to getting the headphone jack back, plus it would just be useful to have in general

It can be used similarly as a lite version of KDE Connect, but KDE Connect is for pairing a dedicated device to your PC. This will allow sharing between phones on the same network as well, and allows easier use for usecases like quickly sharing a file to your friend who has their phone connected to your wifi, without making a permanent pairing of the devices.

You could do the same with KDE Connect but you have to set it up on your friends device and allow permissions and all that. With this, you just choose the files and send, and it can work over a link you send instead if the other person doesn’t want to install the app. This is a much simpler version for one-time file transfers and for devices not owned by you/not trusted.

Looks like the Microsoft Store has a 1,500 character limit for the “what’s new” section so definitely not a character limit issue, makes it more strange.

I’d give https://wiby.me a try, its a nice break from all the same 5 sites listed for every search. It priorities small more classic webpages over SEO ones

I find it works best when used in something like searxng along with other engines though to mix them in, since it tends to quite heavily avoid listing those sites, they’re useful sometimes but not when they dominate the results.
