While I think LibreOffice is great and definitely fills the needs for most people, I wish it was more polished. IMO MS Office just feels so smooth and clean, whereas LibreOffice feels clunky and dated. And I miss Excel when using Calc, although it gets the job done.

At 7am?

Personally I’d like to only see multiplies, thanks.

This. I have to use Windows for work and it doesn’t actually update that often. And when it does, I just choose “update tonight” and it updates when I go to shut down at the end of the day. But at home where I have a Linux/Windows dual boot, it seems to update every time I boot it up. My Linux install seems to also have a lot of updates but it just shows a tray icon and lets me do it whenever.

I’ve been legally blind my whole life. There are definitely some big limitations, like not being able to drive. But I live in an apartment where I can walk to work. I can use a computer with an arm to bring the monitor closer and use a screen magnifier. I can look at things far away with a monocular or through my phone camera. Basically you might have to find innovative ways of doing things, but there’s usually a workaround. It can even be fun to think of clever solutions.

I agree. Considering the backlash at reddit for nixing third party apps, you’d think people would praise all the options for Lemmy.

The dev just released an alpha of an app for Tildes (called Three Cheers for Tildes). It definitely feels like a new RiF

I prefer Jellyfin over Plex, but it doesn’t look like it has this feature, yet (https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/533/audio-only-option-on-video-playback)

I was going to comment this. I remember after playing a bunch of Portal, I saw a plain white wall up high and thought “that’s a good place to put a portal!”

A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It’s basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can’t interact with that instance.

2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I’m going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest

Interesting, I tried subscribing from the website (on beehaw) and it just says “subscribe pending”. Maybe I do have to just wait for beehaw to federate with it.

This might just be me being a noob, but how to I subscribe to this community? I tried typing !main@rblind.com into the communities tab (I’m using Jerboa) and nothing came up.

It’s the age old “writing code is easier than reading code”

How do you approach testing your backups? It seems like you shouldn’t just restore it to the various applications because if it fails then you’re screwed. But it also seems like a huge pain to create duplicate instances of every application to test the backup.
