I lack the time to learn Lemmy tools and run this place and fx0mt left for whatever unfortunate reason. Let me know and I'll briefly review your account history (you don't have to have nodded anywhere before, but you must already have a decent history and not simply be new to Lemmy). Thank you.

It's weird because I've installed Mint on other PCs and Macs and have never seen this problem before (admittedly probably slightly older versions of Mint), which keeps recurring on my machine.

I'm trying to ditch Google Calendar for a totally server-less approach, while still being able to share what I'm up to with certain contacts. Any guidance (via Syncthing or not) would be appreciated!

Edit: I seek a server-less solution.

The only thing I can see is Linwood Flow but it looks like it's a really, really long way off before becoming a primary calendar app.

If it could just store all calendar content in 1 local file, then that could be so easily auto-synced across devices with !syncthing@programming.dev. Does anyone have any leads?

Hmm, I just now learned about Fruux, in this Reddit post...

In the formatting strip with bold, italics, etc., there is a troll face on the right that has never done anything when touched; I'm using v1.71.3 (288) on an S23 running Android 15 and One UI 7.0.

I'm trying to report this company-promoting spam but the loading wheel never seems to pass a report through. I've tried it on other instances as well, equally unsuccessfully. I thought several versions ago, reports submitted with no problem.

I had no idea that this post even had a URL and thought there was only the embedded video. I thought Summit showed article links freely. What's going on? S23 on Android 15 running One UI 7.0.

Like the dummy that I am, I've been using NoScript on my phone and 2 PCs... independently picking out which scripts will prevent a website's most critical functionality from breaking by guessing.

I'm now finally coming to a point of wanting to merge them, since I sometimes go to different sites on my phone versus the PCs, etc.

Is there any tool or way to merge them in a pro-whitelist way? Like, if any of them has a script on a whitelist, then the synced result will put it on a whitelist. That'd be great!

I don't suppose there's a solution to it. I use https://search.trom.tf/ which cycles through a list of SearXNG instances, but some of them retrieve results that literally look like they belong to another query. Has anyone else experienced this?

The real-time chess of the different character classes in Bad North is truly incredible. I love how height makes a real advantage (or disadvantage if too close!) for archers' physics-driven arrows, all the details (despite being a minimalist game) like arrows getting stuck in targets' shields, your choices in what weapon specialties you can assign, the fluid and organic character movement and fighting, etc.

You also really come to care about your soldiers' survival since the death of squad leaders is (typically) permanent, so loss is extremely emotional, especially given how they're customizable with different items. And—like the world's greatest jigsaw puzzler, Glass Masquerade—almost any screenshot from the game could be made into a wallpaper, so that's awesome.

For those who have never played this game, it was just on sale at GreenManGaming for <$3 (IsThereAnyDeal rocks!). It was also given away via Epic Games some years ago, which is how I've been revisiting it.

I had tried this back when it first went free and now wanna tout it here; Forgetful Dictator is the solidest piece of edutainment I've ever seen about country & capital learning/memorization. It's funny, smartly designed, and truly rewarding by teaching players more about all (known) human societies across our planet. I think everyone should give it a try, especially since it has many difficulty levels, from complete beginners to memory masters.
