As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient… I’m amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.

Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.

Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.

Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander

Crickets is a good alternative. Especially when sprinkled on avacado toast.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

“In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol” - linked study

So people trying to be manipulative bastards in ‘nice’ games increase thier stress? Interesting.

Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don’t know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:

“In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest.” - Wikipedia

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

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.

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?

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.

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

Here is the study, “Assessment of Stoichiometric Autocatalysis across Element Groups”, linked in the last paragraph of the article for your enjoyment: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.3c07041

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.

What features are locked? I’ve only ever used the f-droid version, and haven’t noticed anything blocked. But I don’t use it much (unfortunately).

Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.
