Mrs. Hedge finally ditched Instagram and is moving to Pixelfed! 🙂👍🎉 Would like to like her posts but not sure if I can from here . . .

Hi,...

I tried Collabora on a Galaxy Droid and it was such a massively buggy disappointment: in a .ODS file, I couldn’t backspace more than once; I could only delete one character at a time. I had to enter another character or move the cursor or do something else before it would take another backspace. I don’t understand how this...

I’ve used Windows Firewall for my whole life but I’m curious if anyone has any recommendations for a solid FOSS replacement. I do still use Windows on one of my systems on a daily basis but I always try to replace as much as possible with FOSS alternatives....

For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn’t always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is...

Sending a DM to admin doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone know if it’s backed up right now over people being frustrated with...

I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

I am very out of the loop with related recent tech, but once in a while i wish i had subtitles for internet clips, and i understand there’s good tech out there for this these days. Is there something i can download in a typical headless Debian machine that i can then point at some MP4 clip to get subtitles? Even if imperfect...

Solution: Thanks for finding the solution, kate (in the comments). The option to control this is –extractor-retries ....

The writing is on the wall–I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

Does anyone know where I can find this? Doesn’t seem to be on Github or anywhere else that I can find.

I am planning to create an open source project for a web application whose entire premise is to provide an otherwise paid service for free, so I am not planning to commercialize the project. This project is also a passion project. I seek to improve my skills by working on the application and I am not looking forward to expand it...
