miracleorange,

Literally one of the Plasma devs showed up in the thread and seemed very annoyed.

miracleorange,

In short, the maintainers have made questionable decisions over the years, and the Arch Linux packages are held back by two weeks on Manjaro for… basically no reason.

If you want an out-of-the-box solution to Arch Linux, just use EndeavourOS.

miracleorange,

Endeavour has plenty of “beginner” tools, including a kernel manager (literally called A Kernel Manager) and a friendly GUI Welcome app that helps you update your system and your mirrors.

How do you prevent burnout at work?

I have a friend with ADHD who is struggling with burnout at work right now, and I realized the same thing has happened to me (autism) at pretty much every job I’ve had before my current one. After a while (a few months to a few years) the workplace politics becomes unbearable, or culture becomes too toxic, or managers straight...

miracleorange,

I’m neurodivergent (ADHD, dysthymia, panic disorder). My job is not physical, but I have very few ways of minimizing my work; I teach 3-4 two hour tutoring sessions to multiple students at once, 5 days a week. My boss and coworkers are very supportive, but the job can still be absolutely brutal, and I find myself coping with burnout often. Half the time, I don’t even have the energy to interact with my friends because I’m so drained from work.

The sad part is that this is STILL the “easiest” job I’ve ever had.

miracleorange,

Element is starting to look really really nasty in all of this. It’s disconcerting to me.

miracleorange,

Not self-hosted (not online at all, actually) and the apps are in early stages (read-only afaik), but I’d recommend Buckets. I’ve done the same search as you, and nothing has even come close to it. The license is a tad expensive, but it’s from the WinRAR school of licensing where it doesn’t disable anything. It just nags you until you buy it. It syncs with SimpleFIN and everything is in a single file, so I just have it in a Syncthing folder to keep it updated between everywhere (though it does have a built in sync function).

miracleorange,

The app itself has to support it, and even then those options can be hit or miss.

miracleorange,

Well, she’s the former CTO.

miracleorange,

Kobo! Kobo is owned by Rakuten and they integrate with public libraries too.

Would it make sense to have #CashAwarenessMonth

Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs....

miracleorange,

Good to know that my panic disorder that causes random panic attacks is just a product of our new-fangled world.

miracleorange,

Or you could just put your money in a credit union…

miracleorange,

Hi bi, I’m dad.

Seriously though, I’m proud of you.

miracleorange,

They have, but it’s more of a container development kind of thing.

miracleorange,

It’s okay, OP, it makes me happy too.

miracleorange,

What am I looking at?

miracleorange,

It reads to me like they’re saying that they feel like they might be attacked by Meta employees.

That said, it’s uh… quite a choice to have made to say that.

miracleorange,

Aaliyah. 22 is far too young to have died, and her career was moving in the craziest direction. She was set to collaborate with Trent Reznor; I wanna see how she would’ve changed the game.

miracleorange,

Tumbleweed isn’t immutable… Aeon (previously MicroOS Desktop) is.

miracleorange,

(This is going to be grossly oversimplified and possibly minorly inaccurate, but) Flatpaks are built against and run using shared runtimes, so if two Flatpaks share the same basic dependencies (and those dependencies are included in the most common runtimes, which they usually are), you only have to download the shared runtime once. Every Flatpak built on the same runtime will share the one runtime. The way you described it is a common misconception.

Now if the packager manually bundles less common dependencies into the app itself, yes, that would have to be individually updated, but that’s theoretically more of an edge case.

Wiki for scientifically backed environment/climate friendly everyday life?

Hi, I’m currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no...

miracleorange,

They got RID of it??? Between this and threatening to block Google, it’s like they’re TRYING to kill traffic to the site.

miracleorange,

Alternative workaround: just use Piped or Invidious.

miracleorange,

I always use this recipe of roasted sweet potatoes and apples for Thanksgiving and Christmas, tossing them in maple syrup, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, salt, and pepper. You could probably scale down the dressing and do it for just sweet potatoes, and it would still be good. I can tell you from experience that it is DELICIOUS.

miracleorange,

I use Adventurer’s Codex. It only works for 5e, and you have to enter and maintain things manually, but it’s really flexible because of that. It’s a web app, but it works pretty well on phones or computers and it’s FOSS.

If you need stuff to reference and help fill it in, I recommend either 5e.tools or dnd5e.wikidot.com. Both of those sites have all the released content for 5e in a well-organized format. I prefer 5e.tools for spells and the wikidot for… basically everything else.

What has been happening to Piped (YouTube Frontend)?

I use LibreTube and it looks like half of the instances keep getting shut down and then get back up, and the speeds for all are atrociously slow that it is just better to watch it on YouTube on Firefox. I heard a while ago YouTube was blocking certain Piped instances but do not know if that is the same case right now.

miracleorange,

If it helps, the NewPipe developers have been working on a full rewrite of the app, but I don’t know when it will come out.

That said, I would probably use invidious in browsers. I haven’t really had any problems with it whereas I’ve had nothing but issues with Piped for months.

miracleorange,

Enough that it probably wouldn’t be reached any time in the near future, if at all, I assume.

What do you think the bare necessities of the current world is? (beehaw.org)

Years back, it was more simple. Food, shelter, and water. But now, as technology, advances and people get stressed out more and more from life getting too complicated, needing manuals for almost everything. What do you guys think the bear necessities are now?...

miracleorange,

I’d actually call this list pretty exhaustive, and it would apply to most places in the world. The only thing different in America would be the health card. A DMV ID card, basically a driver’s license without the driving, would be the equivalent here.

miracleorange,

It’s a multilayered visual pun. A visual punion, if you will.

miracleorange,

I don’t really have anything notable or profound to add. I just want to say that, setting all controversy aside, RMS is a titan, an icon, and a living legend, and I’m so happy that his treatment is going well. Here’s hoping that he and his beard make a good recovery and he’s around for a while longer.

miracleorange,

How is it healthier? That’s a new one for me.

miracleorange,

… Damn. Never thought I’d have to choose between nutrition and texture. 😩

Still, very good to know. Thanks!

miracleorange,

Please remember that SpaceX and Tesla have entire teams dedicated to handling Elon and reversing his decisions. Twitter did not have the infrastructure required to handle the sheer level of stupid that is Elon Musk.

miracleorange,

Charmed did the reverse in that Hell is basically a bureaucracy.

miracleorange,

I would actually highly recommend the [World, Star, Citie]s Without Number systems. They’ve been going for about ten years, and while the individual systems themselves are genre-centric (fantasy, sci-fi, and cyberpunk respectively), they’re all inter-compatible and offer a good midpoint between crunchy systems and rules-light.

Also, I think Savage Worlds is setting agnostic and a little bit crunchier than most rules-light systems, but I have little experience with it.

miracleorange,

For a Google Maps replacement, everything is going to work off of the base OSM maps, but OSMand is not a great app imo. Organic Maps is good if you want to be COMPLETELY FOSS, but if you want something with good navigation and real time traffic, Magic Earth is what you want. The app itself isn’t FOSS afaik, but it’s privacy oriented, has very few (if any?) trackers, and can be used completely offline.

Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer” (www.pcgamesn.com)

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future,...

miracleorange,

No one said the legends were good.

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

miracleorange,

Okay, but isn’t that game just one big bug?

miracleorange,

From the moment it was announced, I could not contain my excitement for Octopath Traveler from the art style to the graphics to the music. I was even into the name. I was so enamored that I bought the collector’s edition.

Then it finally came out and never have I regretted a game purchase so much; not because it was awful, but it was so mediocre. Honestly, if it were awful, I might have been more okay with it, rationalizing how a game could turn out so bad with everything going for it, mourning what could have been, etc. It did everything it promised it would, I just realized that it didn’t really promise much beyond an art style and being a turn based RPG with 8 main characters. The package was delivered, but it turned out to be Game Gear, not Gameboy.

I think buying that game put me off collector’s editions. The package for it was very impressive, but I think I finally saw the man behind the curtain and realized that what I was buying was just a bunch of plastic and art books that I was never really going to touch anyway. The only physical bonus I cared about from that point on was Steelbooks, but I don’t even buy physical games all that much anymore thanks to my Steam Deck.

Honestly, Octopath Traveler put me off blindly preordering games in general. Now I just blindly buy old games, so if they’re bad, I have no one to blame but myself for not doing the research LOL

miracleorange,

You’re assuming that most people would think they DON’T always have spots. I feel like it’s more likely that people would assume they always do because that’s the popular representation of them.

miracleorange,

I am as well, but unfortunately that isn’t usually the case in my experience.

miracleorange,

I think it’s likely that they meant 4e was the change that made it not D&D. That said, time has dulled the shock, and honestly, 4e had a lot of great shit in it.

miracleorange,

It’s very accessible compared to other cRPGs. D&D 5e was already designed to be beginner-friendly, and Larian just made it more beginner-friendly while also making one of the most open-ended games I can think of.

miracleorange,

Could be doing this in preparation for the Switch 2.

miracleorange,

OC has said that she died in a climbing accident, which makes this more of a PSA than anything else, but sudden happiness (even/especially if it seems geniune) after a long period of depression can be an indicator of suicidality. Generally it’s because they’ve decided to go through with it, so they feel at peace.

That said, being from an accident doesn’t make her death any less tragic. I hope her loved ones are making it through okay.

miracleorange,

Literally all of Candlekeep is a tutorial with the quests and the guys in green robes everywhere. It’s kinda great, actually. Allowed you to skip it if you wanted, but there if you need it.

miracleorange,

In Xenoblade, the entire story is the tutorial. Hunting uniques in the postgame is the real game.

miracleorange,

They’re removing it iirc

File sync solutions with a specific trait

I’m basically looking for something like Seafile, that behaves similarly to Dropbox and Google Drive but doesn’t sync EVERYTHING to each client. This is incredibly useful as my laptop (macbook pro) only has 256GBs of storage, but often I’ll use Seafile to grab files from my Windows 10 PC or phone. I’ve messed with...

miracleorange, (edited )

Genuine question: is there a reason why Syncthing’s ignore function doesn’t work for you? Because that’s what I would suggest, but it seems you’re already aware of it.

ETA: Maybe Resilio Sync might work for you? It touts selective sync. Since it’s based on the BitTorrent protocol, it might also chunk data, but it’s worth checking out.
