Why would somebody lie on the internet?

Wait, copying a pdf and pasting it into chatgpt is exactly how I picture a bad recruiter doing their job.

CTRL-C, CTRL-V,

hire?

Yeah, and the one on Amazon is broken for years and no one cares.

There is: https://mycroftproject.com/
There you can just about anything to Firefox’s search providers.

While I don’t miss checking the index of my wall of Microsoft books (the light gray binders with the squishy plastic). At least those were (mostly¹) correct and ad free.

Then the future began and you got MSDN subscription on CD with sample code. Woohoo.

1. they included a somewhat 20 pages of erratas that you sooner or later managed to memorize or punch and put in the correct place.

And even those videos show how little they know.

They are fun to watch in a “kid goes wow at enterprise tech” kinda way.

I always thought: farm = inside (fence or barn), ranch = outside

My AUR helper trizen tells me, yes.

You’re right. I think I was confusing it with InDesign.

Illustrator was once more like FontForge + Inkscape. I haven’t used any recent versions though.

And/or Scribus. It can also import .ai files, sometimes even to something recognizable.

I hated them since Windows 8. Ughh. Was the year of my Linux desktop. I still keep a Win7, WinXP and DOS/Win98 machine around but that’s it for me.

They bought it and fed it into copilot. My guess what they mean.

The real journalism is always in the comments. Or how did that go?

SimpleX is very neat. But it cannot do multiple devices unless you count shutting down, exporting database to new device replacing existing database as a sensible workflow. Using the database on two devices at once will break encryption and cause all sorts of weird problems.

works here

Haha, we have only a handful of PCs that upgraded to Win11 so far. I think it’s just as bad as Win10, maybe better than Win10 18H2 and earlier apart from the UI.

For totalcmd: Viewer than can easily search an 8GB binary file at the speed of the disk, switched seamlessly between UTF-16, ASCII, HEX. The whole Search feature now integrated with Everything. Multi-Rename with Regex and or renumbering. Treeview that can be enabled or disabled for one or both panes. Copy/Move queue with speed limiter and pause. Tab management for sorting and removing duplicates. History of most frequently used directories. Integrated wget (via the FTP-URL button). Fast image gallery view. That’s what comes to mind that didn’t work or not as well with DC.

Maybe also work in DC: Plugins for NTFS streams, WebDAV (windows default implementation sucks donkey balls), SCP. I even used it for burning CDs back under XP.

I actually used DC for a while on my Arch box at work. I found it not there yet and went back to Krusader. It’s been a while maybe it’s become a lot better. I’ll check it out again.

I also have to use and administrate Windows for work, so yeah: knowing both can be a blessing and a curse (mostly me cursing at Server 2022).

pull hundreds of KDE dependencies

Very true. i3 users would get half of KDE when they install Krusader. For a KDE User it’s pretty cool to have the same settings and bookmarks across Plasmahell, Dolphin, Krusader and Konqueror.

Everything that Total Commander does, Double Commander can do

I don’t think I agree here. But maybe I have been using TC too long (since Windows Commander for Win 3.1). V 11 brought many cool new things. I don’t think I can use a Windows box at all without it anymore.

Sublime even has their own repos for various distributions. You may still install and evaluate it for free but it requires a paid license to use. The only limitation is a nag screen though. Like it’s been since Sublime2.

Other editors are catching up quickly. The coolest Sublime feature now is their Plugin repository.

Your File Manager list is sorely missing Krusader and Total Commander. ;)
EDIT: and Sublime Text runs native on Linux (and I do believe there is a Mac version)

Sweet. I was suspecting that it works like Matrix/Element but I was too lazy to check :) Thanks.

Oh cool, thanks, it’s even better than last time I checked it. lemmy.ml is already struggling with our server. I doubt the admins have time to install themes right now. But maybe soon. Or someone builds a lemmy PWA so every user can have their own interface with api to the instance.

I actually never used anything other than old.reddit. And m.reddit or l.reddit (the one they recently shut down) on my WAP nokia phone.
