CopyQ is awesome.

chill, its lemmy.ml that u r trying to post in! i get errors from it all the time

there is no need to repost ur x years old meme stock

Thank you.

okay then.thx.

i didnt use irc before but i hav a matrix account. nonetheless i ll look up how to reach u through this. and thank you for being easy on me for my linux takes: if linux is to be mass adopted, new comers need to be handled this way, and not to be shamed for their lack of knowledge.

You don’t. The tools to do this without the gui are likely included in your distribution as a base

i could barely do it in gui, let alone in cui. i need colors to know what i am doing (consider me ur average joe!, and i kinda am)

That’s up to your distribution, but typically the answer is ‘users can install it through the package manager if and when they need it’.

please do, i really like to be recommended a distro which comes with many common tools installed. package manager (if u mean by that snap and the like ?) is buggy as hell, i would rather use terminal than deal with that

Windows, for example, still had everyone using an Administrator account for day-to-day stuff until Vista / 7.

i miss those days, now can’t do nothing with my win 7 :(

If you’re comfortable with the terminal, get used to basic commands like cat, grep, find, etc - the command line tools are often more available (and more powerful) than their hypothetical GUI counterpart!

yea i guess i ll have to: already bookmarked a common sysadmin commands guide, and probably would have to learn more in the process. again as u mentionned, as much as it is tiresome, i start to think the reason why things are the way they are in linux. also i like the harmony between my android and linux apps when syncing: it feels like being in a macos/ios environement on a budget, but with also the advantage of being able to upgrade hardware, and very wide array of apps to choose from, and the open source community willing to offer help.complaining apart, i will dedicate time and effort to learn linux and make the best of it.

also, seeing that ur an admin of an instance, i really wanted to self host…myself too, since i was on linux, but i am kinda following docker guides blindly and didnt get much far with my endeavour so i had to bail for now

Just be careful what partitions you remove/format, but I guess that’s obvious.

i am learning the hard way :/

its a 3in1 30$ wifi inkjet canon: as long as kept from dust and humidity especially, the thing is a beast: printed almost 20k pages with one before it broke. cartridge infinitely refillable and a 1L ink bottle lasts to infinity and cost 10$.

Disagree

tbh i wish it weren’t my opinion too. but since the occasion presented itself, op is struggling with setting up a software for his needs on linux: i wish there were viable options for his case.

It really isn’t.

maybe i am simple minded, but why do i have to install gparted just so i could partition my disk (in windows disk partition is a given), or have to install fuse so i could run .appimage files; why don’t these functions come preinstalled ? maybe i am now starting to understand why is linux invunerable to viruses: u kinda have to sudo ur way through everything so u could u achieve ur need. maybe i am venting, but as a newcomer from windows, its kinda overwhelming haha: wanna copy to a readonly directroy: sudo cp; edit a readonly file: sudo gedit…even the terminal isnt in favourites, i have to ctrl alt T so i could find it 😭😭 again, i am no dev, and i kinda have a day to spend and work to get to xd

yea man, there is way more printer features on windows than on linux, since manufacturers decided so. i am not tech savy and i fear i might have to troubleshoot my way through a vm just to print a pdf. guess i ll have to run a separate machine just for my windows needs, but great idea nonetheless.

i wanted to print in duplex mode: the printer linux driver didnt support it (i thought it was a pdf reader thing, apparently its a driver thing). also wanted to have a logical partition as expansion, ended up corrupting the boot file. using linux is backbreaking (in the sense of not that straight forward), but kinda useful to run in a machine on the side. linux really have some cool apps, but proprietery software doen’t seem to get along with it well. best way to approach this is to run both OS’s, according to ur needs.

although they dont break like incadescent bulbs and efficient in this regard, they shouldnt be that bright. also when its too bright they heat fast and that take away from their working life

thats permanent retinal damage at this stage: they kinda deserve it thou. use of led light need to be prohibited by the geneva convention or something, in the same category as cluster bombs ot sarin gas

but an electric car is heavier than a hydrogen car, so the electric platform is less efficient. imagine carrying an extra ton of a batterypack wherever u go. hydrogen could be made from renewable energy, and doesn’t require batteries to be stored. battery metals are finite. u can’t scale that up. 5kg of H2 translates to 400km mileage.

20 dorra!

a netflix original.

just an assumption ( also u guys need to be open for some critique, facking hell! ) but also why his pricing is way more than he used to charge for sync for reddit ? said he would work on the app ‘full time’: what does that even mean ? would he quit his day job for the app ? would such an app require full time maintenance ? also pricing more than he used to do without sparing any thought for the instance admins kinda fishy: i know that lemmy code is beyond his reach but placing ads on feed is like taking instance owners for fools and shidding on them, at least while pricing leave some room for people so they can donate to instances until something serious is done about it…and please grow some brain cells before responding to this:and no, devs dont need to sync up app release.
