  • Works well with nextcloud also.

  • Note at top of developer web site:

    Distribution of Enhancer for YouTube™ temporarily stopped! Due to the countless changes that the YouTube developers have made, Enhancer for YouTube™ is now completely broken for Firefox (partially works for Chromium based browsers) so I had to pause its distribution.

    So far I've found the Improve YouTube extension does many (but not all) of the things Enhancer did.

  • I seem to recall on reddit there were a lot of subs that somehow had mods who modded hundreds of subs, and didn't participate and weren't a part of the actual communities. It seemed these people just liked collecting subs. I'd worry that with an automated system people like this (or even bots) will show up, and just start squatting (so to speak) on the mod rights to communities. Time will tell, I guess, with growth.

  • Currently have six apps installed and periodically jump between them. But for some time now I have unexpectly found myself mostly using Voyager. I just love poking the eyeball?

  • Aves is really good. Used Simple Gallery Pro for years and it was great. But switching to Aves is painless for me.

  • phanopy is an interesting mastodon front end that groups boosts periodically into a side scrolling container. The effect is that your feed is a lot cleaner, but you still can look at boosts if you want to.

  • Could someone please cure me of my Dredmor addiction? 12 years later and I'm still rolling random builds. Diggles are my only friends.

  • AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

  • It works in the current Firefox for Android beta version.

  • Been using free tier Feedly for many years now. It's "good enough". Before that I used Akgregator, which did a pretty decent job for a local app.

    Other odd RSS adventures: I played with self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS for a while, and it is actually pretty awesome. It's automatic filtering and tagging capabilities were amazing. But I got tired of maintaining it. I toyed with NetVibes ages ago -- it is a "dashboard" oriented web site, with RSS support. It worked pretty well actually, but the UI is ... unusual. It used to be free. Maybe still is. I don't know. I found myself using the cleaner and simpler "good enough" Feedly more.

    It should be pretty easy to move your RSS feed collection between apps/services as most of them support OPML format import/export. So just go ahead and try stuff and see what you like. (Just check first that it supports OPML import/export.)

  • If just annotating, I'd also suggest Okular. It's pretty good at notes, highlighting, etc.

  • The free version of MasterPDF (as available via AUR) is fully functional, but it will add watermark if you modify any PDF page contents (and maybe other conditions).

  • MasterPDF Editor is quite good. In the past I found the windows keygen works with linux version. You have to block it from accessing internet though, or it will phone home to verify. This was a while ago I used it, so my info may be slightly out of date. Here's one way to block it from having internet access, start with this command: bwrap --bind / / --unshare-net masterpdfeditor5

  • That's great that these MPs want to educate themselves. They could learn a lot. By "compel" I'm sure they mean something like "inspire" these people to come and share their experience and research with them in a respectful philosophical exchange. And by "defend" they are probably thinking of the clever Socratic traditions of inquiry.

  • Interesting perspective. Maybe you could find some good articles with more nuance to post?

  • the /usr/bin/krunner executable is owned by the plasma-workspace package. It has a lot of dependencies. So yeah, you basically need a huge chunk of kde/plasma to run it.

    A pretty similar Qt-based launcher utility (not quite so good in some areas, possibly better in some) is called albert, if you don't want to use plasma anymore.

  • Maybe check out Pop! OS

    But, yes, nearly all linux software will run on any distro. And even a fair amount of windows software will run on any of them with WINE (or VirtualBox if desperate). Occasionally commercial software will get packaged in an "installer" format a particular distro doesn't know how to install. A fairly rare situation, for which there are almost always work-arounds. You can cross that bridge if you ever encounter it.

  • I also agree it looks like some kind of sedum (in a bit of a sad state), but just wanted to add that sedum is known commonly as stonecrop in some places. In case you're looking around in a garden store or something, they may be called stonecrop there.
