  • You can actually deGoogle android.

    You can't really deApple iOS or macOS, or deMicrosoft Windows.

  • Better in democracies.

    Under democracy, you can buy legislators.

    Under dictatorship, you can still kinda do that... But also the state might just take your stuff and have you shot if they feel like it.

    That can happen under democracy, too, but elected legislators, generally don't go up against the economic elite, because they're often one and the same, but also because it pays better not to.

  • Claymore is fantastic. It's one of those series where you get to see the mangaka MASSIVELY grow as both an artist and storyteller through the course of the series.

    I used some panels from the series as phone wallpapers for a while.


    My pick is Dungeon Meshi (which will surprise no-one who frequents !dungeonmeshi@ani.social).

    In contrast to Claymore, Dungeon Meshi starts off fully developed. Having read it, I am near certain that Ryoko Kui knew exactly where she wanted the story to go, what she wanted it to say, and who her characters are, even as she was drawing up page one.

    Despite the humorous premise, and at times light-hearted tone, Dungeon Meshi strikes deep and hard at what it means to be alive. And it does so in general. Not specifically, like about love, war, or the like.

    It's not even just about food.

    It explores what it means to be young. To grow old. To be hungry. To be sated. The be understood or misunderstood. To do good. To do evil. To desire or be disgusted. To exist.

    The characters are oceans deep, and the world is as wide as outer space.

    And this despite having a core cast of five, a massive supporting cast that only appears in passing, and a story entirely taking place within one single dungeon, and the tiny island on which it is located.

    Oh and it's also probably the best fantasy story ever told.

  • Yes. I do this. You'll want to look up X forwarding.

    Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.

  • Both are perfectly serviceable, but for the self-hosted storage/office suite combo, Collabora simply fits into Nextcloud better. Which is likely why you don't see OnlyOffice discussed much.

    Collabora is just more integrated. The NC and Collabora developers actually directly collaborate on integrating it into NC as the "official" office suite.

    And AFAIK the backend of Collabora is simply LibreOffice, meaning the "desktop" version is: LibreOffice. The UI is the same, too, though they might've diverged since I last used LibreOffice on desktop.

    Personally I'm not really concerned with formats, as long as I can finish documents as PDFs, and Collabora has brought a google-drive-like experience to my nextcloud instance that OnlyOffice didn't manage. Either way I was able to do a google takeout of my drive storage, and just plop that into my nextcloud. But with Collabora, actually interacting with the resulting files within the nextcloud UI has been nicer.

  • I can't believe they even film some of that crap, let alone broadcast it.

    It gets even worse. There are people who actually watch it. And not just a few.

  • I guess by libre office you're not referring to Collabora?

    Collabora is the online version of Libre, and absolutely integrates with mobile, nextcloud, web browsers, collaboration, etc.

    I initially used OnlyOffice with my Nextcloud instance, but switched to Collabora with my own CODE server once I realized it was MUCH more thoroughly integrated into nextcloud.

  • As if companies aren't scraping all of it anyway.

  • Any car tire.

    For road bicycles 7 bar is just "normal", 8 and above isn't unheard of.

    A guy once asked if I was crazy when I was pressurizing my hybrid bike to 6 bar, and I just pointed to the sidewall where the rating said 4.5-6.5 bar. The range is wide because the pressure you should use varies depending on what you weigh, and how you want to balance rolling resistance vs comfort.

    And even then the safety margin on bike tires is more than double the max rating, so it's perfectly safe to go a full bar over if you want.

  • That's not the Yamato tho.

    It's the Andromeda, developed years after the human/gamilan war.

  • I would absolutely use it. In fact creating and editing services would be the primary selling point IMO. It doesn't need to be much "easier" than doing it in the terminal or file explorer, to me the primary benefit would just be the ease of use of creating, loading, and starting a new service all in one place.

    I think a generic template would be great.

    You could turn the whole thing into a giant GUI settings screen, allowing navigation to an exectuable, after which you could provide some of the most typical options as sliders, number fields, switches, or whatever is suitable. But that would be a large amount of work, and I'm not sure it would simplify things much.

    The starting point should just be a text field, but with a link to the service file docs for help/reference.

  • Oooh this will be perfect for a bunch of stuff I do.

    Can you create new services or do you still need to create the .service file manually?

    What about .timer files?

  • Low detail Konsi ❤️

  • Yeah. I'm basically saying that being happy right now is a good thing, as long as it doesn't come at the expense of someone else, or your future.

    So many people live miserable lives thinking it'll make them even happier later, completely ignoring that life should be worth it right now.

  • Ok?

    Did I not pretty explicitly allude to the need to not over-indulge?

  • This is why hedonism is a good thing.

    You just can't be so hedonistic that you can't keep being one next year, and the year after. Or in a way that screws someone over.

  • Cats will tell you when they want you to stop.

    Most people don't notice, but when you know, you just kinda know.
