[META] Question: only films, or also TV series?
  • Thank you for the explanation! What you say makes complete sense, I agree :)

  • [META] Question: only films, or also TV series?

    I suppose it's only films, but I wanted to ask, just to make sure. Some TV series are works of art, with amazing frames. The series Severance, for example, has extremely beautiful shooting and frames.

    Moderators: feel free to delete this post – sorry for the outlier! But maybe a "films only" can be added in the sidebar?

    An endearing and even moving short clip of Buster singing "June Night" and "Casey Jones".

  • Irfanview alternatives

    IrfanView is a great piece of software for Windows. One of those "jack of all trades, master of none". It works as a simple image & video viewer and browser, can do simple and not-so-simple image manipulation, and even batch jobs, like conversion, on selections of images in folders.

    For Linux (and other platforms) there's XnView MP that offers extremely similar functionalities.

  • One question: with "main account' on step 3 you mean my account here at Lemmy.world?

    I don't quite know how to post in a community on another instance: it doesn't appear if I search for communities here in Lemmy.world.

  • This reaches the borders of my understanding of the fediverse :) You mean I could create it on Lemmy.ml for example? Would I need to create an account there? I'll explore, thank you for the suggestion.

  • Thank you for the suggestion. I tried from laptop with Firefox and Chromium, then from my phone (Firefox). But I see the same problem on all.

    In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on create a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to create and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems.

    I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

    Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?
  • PS: there's also another functionality of Klipper that I use from time to time: you can make the whole "killring" appear, and choose the entry you want to paste with the mouse: as you click it it's entered. This is also bound to a key (in my case S-w) and works no matter which window I'm in.

  • Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?
  • Gotcha. Yes, haven't found anything that allows that specifically. But in my case I don't need to enable klipper; it's always active. No matter which windows I'm in, pressing C-v will paste whatever it's in the clipboard; whereas pressing e.g. S-v C-v will choose the previous item in the clipboard and then paste it.

  • Foundation Season 2 draws near, starts 14 July
  • Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the 1st season, just like other commenters here. A preliminary reason could be that the story is very different from the book, which is one of my most favourite sci-fi books ever. But even simply seeing this series as something different from the book, if found it too cheap: the characters are half-stereotypes, the events are what you'd expect, usual blood and sex to attract viewers...

    Should go without saying, just my personal opinion and tastes. I'm happy that others enjoyed the series and I hope it'll made them curious to read the books.

    Moderators: possible to add focus/goal in the community sidebar?

    I'm moving from the manga@lemmy.ml community, which seems to be focused more on new-chapter announcements than manga discussion and recommendations.

    But I wonder if this is actually the goal of this community. Moderators: would it be possible to add some description on the community sidebar? Cheers!

    Software alternatives for Linux

    NB: According to some of the suggestions below, this post has been made into a community:

    <https://lemmy.ca/c/software_alternatives_linux>

    Hope to see many of view posting software alternatives there!

    Many members of this community are computer users who recently moved to Linux from other OSs, Windows in particular. Having established their work and hobbies on a particular software base, they often encounter difficulties trying to find similar software on Linux.

    I'd like this to be a sort of board where members comment about some software alternative they're looking for, and other members sub-comment with possible solutions.

    What's a solution? It's important to be broad-minded about this when switching to Linux:

    • Exactly the same software could be available for Linux.

    • Different software but with similar critical features could be available for Linux.

    • It could be possible to use emulators (such as Wine) of the old OS.

    • Finally, one can change one's perspective or workflow, in such a way that the old software is not needed any longer, but is replaced with other software of a different kind (this may actually lead to much improved workflows).

    (Moderators: feel free to take over this post. Also please let me know if a similar board exists already here, so I delete this.)

    Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?
  • If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select "Configure..." and then "Shortcuts", you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.

  • Silo Episode 10 -Finale- Discussion (TV Spoilers)
  • What I don't understand about the ending is this, if anyone has hypotheses (or knows from the books):

    Why do they project a green world in the helmet of those who go out? Doesn't it defeat the purpose?

  • And it isn't just a matter of numbers, but of content quality too. My impression is that those who are leaving Reddit for the fediverse alternatives right now are also those that create more meaningful and useful content. So the loss for Reddit is already much larger than the numbers tell.

    This also connects with the strange way of reasoning about "making profit", and with some comments I've read saying "did Reddit users expect a free lunch?". The point is that the value of Reddit comes exclusively from the content, and the content was given for free to Reddit by the users. Reddit was having a free lunch too. It'd be funny if people started to say "You want me to post and create content on this platform? Well pay me then".

  • Person of Interest
  • Completely agree! The finale left room for a new season or a new related series.

    > You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you.

    Who remembers and misses this outstanding show? Will we ever enjoy the like again? It's still so actual in these AI days.

    People who have switched from vanilla GNOME to KDE Plasma: did you try to emulate GNOME's workflow on Plasma?
  • Personally, not. The reason I switched to Plasma is that I didn't like the basic layout – horizontal bar especially – and wanted a desktop environment that allowed me to customize positions and sizes of bars and so on as much as possible.

    Still baffles me why they steal the screen's usually scarce vertical real estate with a horizontal bar, instead of putting it on the side...

  • Severance

    Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it's been renewed for a second season.

    Let's discuss it! :)

    PS: and here you can find Severance: The Lexington Letter – the cherry on the show.

    What's your opinion on Snap/Flatpak, and why?
  • Great that it's in the todo-list anyway. I usually use the Any2DjVu server for converting and OCR-ing documents in pdf format. The djvu file is typically 20% size of the original pdf, and the OCR is usually better too. I'll check on your project regularly for updates :)

    Saitama on "Every program that matters has a man page": anyone has the link?

    Some time ago on Reddit someone poste a link to a video meme about Saitama/One Punch Man and Linux man pages.

    That subreddit is now private, so I can't access the link and no net search seems to unearth it. Can someone share it here? was it a youtube link?

    Edit: thanks a ton to @Dr_Willis@sh.itjust.works. Here is a cached version:

    Looking for moderators

    I for one was tired of Reddit. With the latest events it's good to look for alternatives. This community here is created in case the one(s) on Reddit disappear.

    I'm not very interested in moderating; so to any old mods from Reddit: take over!
