A friend of mine is a musician. About a decade or two ago I went over to his house and he said that he had to get a new fan to fix his computer. I asked him what was going on, so he turned it on and I heard that tick-tick-tick of the read head. I had to let him know it was his hard drive. He had a lot backed up, but not everything, and not the stuff he’d been working on the past couple weeks. Just a bummer. But he did set up a backup program after that.

pdfimages is what you want, I believe. It’s in the poppler-utils package in Debian.

That just brings me back to starting the compile, getting something to eat, doing chores, and whatever else. Then when it was finally done, booting it up only for it to not boot because I forgot some checkbox. Repeat a couple of times. Nights getting the thing working. And then on the next kernel release, trying to make sure I remembered all the checks because it didn’t let you export the current config back then.

“World” news?

That would be a pretty basic bash script, but as others have said, really not recommended.

If a website doesn’t want me to see their shit, then I guess i won’t see their shit. I already have some sites that don’t work because of my aggressive use of lists on my pihole, in addition to the usual browser plugins. If a site doesn’t work now, I just move on. I don’t give a shit about any site enough to put up with this type of bullshit.

Yeah, I didn’t think any of that would make a difference. It’s just not showing under active scripts when I’m on lemmy.one

I love the idea. It’s not working for me. Violenmonkey, firefox, Linux, for what it’s worth. I’ve been wanting something like this since I started using Lemmy.

It’s a shame that Bakersfield PD only got one season.

I thought those things had gone the way of fidget spinners and pet rocks.

As someone who uses neomutt for mail, I may be an outlier. I like to feel like I have control over my email without having to worry about my internet connection. Also, I really, really hate the lag of web clients.

I always figure anyone who has never broken a bone has lived a very conservative, unexciting life.

People are so weird. Their online presence means so much to so many. I want to reply to all of them, just switch instances. As important as they feel, nobody is going to bat an eye when they move, yet they feel that they are really losing something if they do.

About the only thing I miss here is RES. I had so many filters set up not to see anything from that shithead, it was great.

With a model name Liberty, I’m not going to guess too hard the demographic they’re trying to fleece.

Jesus christ. They aren’t going closed source. It’s like all these people are new to Linux and don’t understand the GPL, nor the politics behind the license.

It is also one of the useful office suites that provide a native Linux experience, but sadly, it is neither free nor open-source…

That’s a hard no from me, big shoots.

Someone has no idea how Debian works.

It’s still open source.

I’ve been using Linux as a daily driver for a couple decades. Home and work (before retirement). Unless your work has some fucked up Windows-only requirement, there is no reason Linux won’t meet your needs.
