Missing the days where I would have a weekend pathfinder group.

Here what you have to know Learning to use a clipboard manager, is like the difference between being able to remember one thing

Versus being able to remember MORE than on thing, like, imagine that, computers being used to remember more than one thing, what will they think of next !?

Ok, actual advice

CTRL+~ is your new favorite keyboard shortcut after you've installed Ditto

Yes, it darkmodes just fine

Your password ? If you're copy pasting password, you're doing it wrong, secret should be stored in a non-copiable place, like a smartcard.

Anyway, wiping the clipboard history is easy, and you can set a maximum lenght or time to remember clips.

This clipboard manager, can copy paste things to other computers on your LAN.

You can edit clips.

You can paste multiple clips in a single operation, it will even paste them in reverse order of copying by default

In the clipboard manager SHIFT+ENTER will paste as plain text

IN clipboard manager, you can shift+select and ctrl+select like you would copy+pasting a set of files easily

You have WAY more option than "paste as plain text" BTW

Of course you can IMMEDIATELY search and filter your clips after pressing CTRL+~

Ditto handles pasted images easily (however few programs support multi-pasting of images)

(Windows can't paste video or sound, only video files and sound files, which is hella lame)

Remember when I said you can paste clips accross the network ? That includes files

It's fully scriptable BTW ! Chatgpt can script you up absolutely anything you need.

It got a compare clip function builtin,

I've been using it for two years, and it still has function I don't even know what they do ! Groups ? Addin ? Import export ? What's that

I didn't even know it could do that !

Even more stuff !!!

Just look how many tabs the option page has ! I didn't even check it out yet !

(oops photo limit reached, you'll have to believe me !)

Congratulation, you are now a clipboard manager evangelist.

(Sadly nothing on linux comes close, I blame big tech and their idea that the clipboard is a good place to hide your passwords in !)

Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they'd be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.

I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?

Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It's a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don't appear on mobile).

Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn't purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I'm not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I'd see what y'alls opinion on the matter is.

People keep saying this and I personally don't really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

Example; the Legend of Zelda: BotW and TotK weapon degradation system. At first I was annoyed at it, but once I stopped caring about my “favorite weapon” I really started to enjoy the system. I think it lends really well to the sandbox nature of the game and it itches that resourcefulness nature inside me.

Please leave my aldis toquitos alone microorganisms.

I want my next phone to be "unlocked" so I can use it w/ any carrier - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Mint, etc. I'm based in the US, but if I travel internationally, it would be nice to be able to just pop in a local SIM card and continue using my phone like normal.

What gives me pause is, I see used phones listed as "US Version," and reviewers claiming the phone was not unlocked (for example, this Pixel 7a on Amazon).

Questions:

1. What am I missing here? Do these reviewers just not know what they're doing, or are they buying from shady resellers?
2. Does "US Version" imply I would not be able to use the phone internationally by just popping in a local SIM card?

Thank you!

I have all of December off from work, where should I go?

I've not yet done any research whatsoever on this, and figured it would be fun to start off by asking you lot.

Is December even a good time to visit this part of the world, weatherwise?

I'll be traveling alone and I'm not looking for an action packed vacation. Beautiful scenery, tasty drinks and good food will do the trick. Beach vacations aren't normally my thing, but I think that's just what I'm in need of now.

Preferably somewhere I'm not in danger of getting robbed and stabbed every waking minute, too. That would be nice.

I'll be traveling from Norway, btw.

What's that principle where you don't know you're asking the wrong question because you've got this idea in your head on how to do something, so you search frustratingly. If you could step up a level and find the right question, you'd find a well established, efficient solution.

Related to unknown unknowns I guess, but I came across a phrase or word encapsulating it, and now I can't remember or (ironically) find it.

ETA: It's the XY Problem, thanks Bophades@midwest.social.

When I was on reddit I wasn't exposed to so many people with extreme absolutist views who will stop at nothing to maintain the echo chamber.

Very few people here are able to make concessions.

I just feel like every time I get on here I go away angrier. We won't attract new users if we're like this

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

The closest thing I can find is concordance but it seems like its only really used for Bible stuff or WordClouds

• word frequency
• eliminating words below frequency cutoffs
• concordance
• exportable

DevonThink sorta does it

Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I've only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

I want to know if I'm the only idiot that it happens to or if on the contrary it's something generalized.

(Mi idioma es el Español, por cierto)

Utterly stupid little things, its money that is less useful in EVERY situation and expires! Even at the store where you can use it, what do you do with the money that's leftover but too little to spend? Especially at expensive places, you could very well end up with 10-20$ OF YOUR OWN MONEY, that you can't even use!

I was given a dunkin giftcard for volunteering at a repair cafe. First of all I'm on a diet but secondly I stuffed it in my wallet so quickly I completely forgot about it. The day I remember and go through the trouble of attending such a wretched establishment I was told it expired after I finished giving my order! After such bother to try to use this cursed thing I refuse to return fruitless from my endeavors so I paid with my own cash.

It is now, sulking into my hashbrowns and Boston cream do I realize I am now poorer, fatter and fucking miserable. FUCK gift cards.

Talk about how it came up and how its improved your life/health for having done so

I've been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I've transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I've been looking and so far I haven't found a viable alternative.

My 9 year old wants a gaming laptop and my laptop spec knowledge is minimal. He wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft and the like, nothing fancy. Any ideas re good laptops to buy, or good places to look? I'm in the UK and my budget is 300 quid tops, ideally less.

Curious about what model is best to use on my RTX 3080 + Ryzen 5 3600 since I've just found out about this.

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy a Thinkpad T480s with i5 8350u 8 GB 256 GB M.2 SSD to use it with Linux to surf the web, Inkscape and especially to use Blender to create models for 3D printing. Is there anyone who already has it and uses it for Blender? Does it work or are there any problems?

I currently have an Asus S56c with Lubuntu and I can do everything, but Blender does not even start because the graphics card of the PC does not allow it. Thanks to everyone in advance.

So during COVID lockdowns I developed this guilty pleasure of watching YouTubers having miserable times, in the best case vanlife YouTubers.

I'm feeling the old itch, can you help me? Do you know any videos of people on travel channels having really, really bad times?

I prefer vanlife people, followed by boatlife people. But I'm open to different modes of transport. The more privileged the people and the more miserable their travels, the better.

Edit: so I will give you guys something at least, can't find any of the random small stuff I watched years ago atm. The channel vagrant holiday maybe doesn't quite fulfill the criteria, because the guy is doing everything consciously, but it's a fantastic channel, and there definitely is discomfort:

Mine is retail work. Yeah I get it. You hate it. There isn't anything that I hadn't heard before about it by now that hasn't already been said. Yup, people suck.

But on the same token, I don't really appreciate the level people go to, to dissuade people from getting into retail work. Job is a job and income is income. You'll need both of these things. I've learned that a lot of the time, people just happen to be employed by shitty stores that are managed by power-tripping people or maybe the team they work with are annoyingly incompetent.

Yet if you manage to find a store that's worth working in, it's worth it for however long you want to be there for. I chose to work for retail. I don't mind the labor. I don't want a sit-down desk job.

And yeah I work for a big company that has questionable values and has destroyed communities. But that's really out of my control and because that I work for said company, does not necessarily mean that I agree with it or side with the corporate standards. If I wanted to, I'd go back to school and find something else to do.

And that's what I advise people to do if they're so tired of their retail job. Go back to school, it's really all you can do other than go to trade school to get skills and branch into different careers. Just bitching about it all day is not going to do a thing. I used to be like that but all it does was just make me hate everything and there were a couple points where I could've gotten fired over it. It's not worth getting fired over something you don't really have an investment in.

I do get things done. But sometimes I think that I could have started some things early, avoid rush. Also a sort-of negative perfectionism that does the opposite, where I end up delaying the start while thinking about the best time to start and how to avoid possible trouble etc.

How do you categorise and adjust accordingly about such stuff?
If you are someone who got out of or reduced such behaviour(or helped someone to do that), what were the things that you/they did? How did you/they start out and progress etc.

Thanks in advance
