How do you like Atkinson Hyperlegible?? I've heard good things about it from visually impaired people, but I'm not clear on how much it helps with dyslexia.

Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy is a great little collection of some central texts, with minimal but helpful commentary. Some, like the Analects and the Daodejing, are short enough to be printed in full, and others have selections.

For Indian philosophy, I don't have any immediate recommendations. I've heard good things about Edward Conze's books on the history of Buddhism, but have never read them myself. Odds are they might be a bit dated, but still a strong introduction.

For a general overview, Peter Adamson's podcast and book series History of Philosophy Without any Gaps is usually great, and his strong suit is in medieval islamic thought.

Thank god that's changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.

Both my recommendations are over now, but I love the niche of conversational history podcasts, or, as someone once put it, people talking about history like other podcasts talk about bad movies:

The Lesser Bonapartes

Dead Ideas

How does Organic Maps compare to OsmAnd?

My only complaint about Okular is when it comes to form fillable PDFs. I usually prefer using the inbuilt Firefox pdf reader for those.

There's also plenty of FOSS obsidianlikes. Logseq looks promising, but I'm sticking with Obsidian because I rely a lot on some of the extensions.

Either way, migrating is as easy as opening the same folder in one app or the other, so you might as well try.

"an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs"

is there a toki pona page on Lemmy already?

The culprit went into hiving.

Interesting! Krohnkite still works so well for my use case that I didn't even realize it was unmantained. I'll give those two a shot!

I've been using Krohnkite on KDE. Are those you mentioned better?

I'm not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel 'neither here nor there' with some elements in pixel art and some not.

Octopath Traveler's the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.

Of course! Thanks for the heads up.

My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I'll remove it if anyone asks.

Tom Scott runs a Podcast (and formerly a gameshow) called Lateral, which is basically all lateral thinking puzzles. I highly recommend it.

I didn't make the meme, but closed-source browsers should all be a no-go. Plus, OS exclusivity is never great.

fuck, knock that one down a rank too

196 column discourse always sleeps on the richly decorated arabic versions of corinthian capitals, like this or this (both from moorish spain)

I second Plasma as a touch desktop. Neon is pretty great, but I'm not a huge fan of the LTS base + bleeding edge DE combo. I'd personally recommend either Fedora KDE for frequent updates overall, or Kubuntu LTS for general stabilty.
