  • how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?

    Jump

  • And with it, less reading on Lemmy, more reading real books :)

  • Learning a new language, and with it, a new way to see the world, is a true life hack.

  • It is possible to install android on some kindle ereaders

  • Love my Boox Page

  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • From my limited experience with Obsidian, I still preferred Logseq actually. And the syncing is easily done by just storing the markdown files in a cloud folder. But yeah, it's subjective for sure.

  • I'd say Logseq is better than any note-taking alternative that works in the same way. It's a bit different to regular note-taking apps as it acts more as a knowledge database based on tags, than with a regular file-folder structure. Also I prefer Actual Budget to YNAB, as it's starting to have even more features than YNAB and actually supports things like bank syncing for major parts of Europe that even YNAB doesn't. And it's free to host yourself or really cheap to host through PikaPods. But it's hard to say "objectively" because in the end, a lot of it is subjective. If people are used to running one program, it'll be hard to switch to another, even if it's "objectively" better.

    The largest issue with FOSS applications is that many contributors don't have any UX/UI knowledge, which is a huge factor in why people choose one program over another. I'd argue GIMP is a mess compared to Photoshop, even if GIMP is able to do many, many things that Photoshop is able to.

  • Awesome. I love Caesar 3. Guessing this takes inspiration from that?

  • Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit.

  • Thanks for the review. I'm leaning towards buying one during summer if I have some cash left!

  • Thanks! I hear a lot of people complaining about the ergonomics. So it isn't uncomfortable to use for lengths of time? Apparently they haven't released their own official grip yet either, so I might wait until they do.

  • The Retroid Pocket looks awesome. I've been eyeing a Steam Deck, but tbh I'd have my fun cut out for me with just a retro handheld that can emulate stuff up til Gamecube. Do you like it?

  • You Can Remove DRM From Your Digital Books, but It's Probably Illegal

  • I'd like to clarify that removing DRM does lie in a grey zone in many countries, including in the US due to some court rulings. In some countries the right to make a backup of your e-book might have priority over copyright law for example.

  • Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.
