It’s not public; it’s exclusive. I don’t want to have to register just to view posts.

Twitter links are harder to get through than paywalled articles, so they’re about about as worth reading to me as facebook posts.

Chiming in with Boost, and I can’t find karma-like counts. Maybe a different app?

I used to be unable to hold my right hand still in the air without slight tremors, and I noticed how it went away some months after I quit playing this one mmo with excessive clicking. Phlebotomy is so much easier with a calm hand. Maybe the toy would help if it’s hands-free?

Adding this fun read because I know hands do get numb from holding strongly vibrating things for excessive periods of time: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/83-110/default.html

Moreso in your jerking hand, or both? Not that I have any qualifications to answer further – better to check with your doctor how serious it is.

I swear there existed a Tumblr post back in 2012 or earlier about remembering something like EGG: wallet, phone, keys. I just can’t find it anymore v.v

A job that: I’d love, is at a desk, pays well, is project based, asks me to set my own goals, holds me accountable, makes me feel like I’m contributing something positive for other people.

Right now, I would feel more fulfilled in life with something like that.

IS THIS Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell??

(it’s a webcomic, I loved the story)

Fam, the TLDR I’m hearing isn’t “wish my folks made healthier life choices and hadn’t conceived me in such a specifically shameful manner that affects my life”, but “I wish I was never born, DAE feel this way?”

My answer is that, this seems deeper than what lemmy can offer, it’s worth talking to a therapist about, and I hope you can find a way forward for you.

TLDR, scroll down to the script. Make a .sh file, allow it to run as a program, set it as your default program to open whatever filetype

Navigate to the appropriate/your favorite folder to store portable applications. Make the below script as a new file called WhateverYouWant.sh
Fellow newbies, the .sh is important.
Then set this .sh file’s permissions to allow executing this file as a Program; may differ by distro.

#!/bin/bash

# Script to set a windows application (that runs through WINE) as the default to open PDF files:

# PURPOSE: To convert Linux-style filename to Windows-style
# to pass as an argument to wine when starting PDF XChange Viewer
Filename="z:"${1//\//\\}

# Assuming you use the default installation folder for PDF
# XChange Viewer in Wine
App='eval wine "C:\Program Files\Filepath\To\Your\PDFXEdit.exe" "'$Filename'"'
$App

You can also check the appropriate windows-formatted filepath with Winetricks, using its built in windows File Explorer, finding your .exe, and copying the path starting from "C:".
[Edit: the default install folder in the script would normally be C:\Program Files, my bad. I downloaded the portable version and shoved it wherever, so my filepath looks like “C:\users\Froggy\Documents\PDFXchange test01\PDFXEdit.exe”]

Mint Cinnamon 21:

• right click your shell script file, Properties > Permissions > check on “Allow executing file as program”.
• Then find a PDF file (or whatever filetype), right click, Open With > ‘Other Application…’ > browse for this .sh file you just made.
• After selecting this .sh file, be sure to select “Set as default” before clicking OK.

I could not tell you for the life of me why this didn’t work with a .desktop file on Mint 21.

I spent the past few hours down the wrong rabbit holes with .desktop and exec=wine ‘filepaths’ and just about died of asphyxiation from absolutely nothing happening. I’ve been wanting to do the same thing too for a while, but decided that right before bedtime was the perfect time to look it up.
[Edit: I figured out spacing in the script. Also moved the Mint specific instructions down the comment for flow clarity]

“I never learned or thought about how long my trash will actually insist on existing and polluting my environment. I’m completely ignorant of how incredibly slowly plastic decomposes and how toxic it is for plastic to leach into the lowest parts of the food chain and concentrate on its way up.”

“AFAIK, because the earth will take care of it somehow - everything turns into dirt when you leave it in the dirt long enough, right?”

“I’m just sooo ignorant, plastic will just break back up into little plastic fibers and the ocean can recycle it for us, like tree bark or w/e, right?”

That’s my best, but still invalid, justification. What do I win ::: spoiler spoiler /sarcasm (I hope this spoiler works bc it’s not working on boost) :::

I once convinced one of my aunts that leaving your cart out gives companies another excuse to raise prices again
(not that I actually think that’s true; i just didn’t want to feel like an butthole for leaving our cart out)

What’s a PPA, and, if it’s alright to ask, which things did you need to downgrade or remove before upgrading mint?

I’m still on mint cinnamon 21, saving up for a beefier drive to back up to before I would upgrade.

Good idea. 1.2x speed is how I save time on videos I expect to be long

Zotify?

I just bought the book off Nostarchpress last month

I have a head canon now about your username origin that you, at least once in your life, had to face a horribly distempered ceiling fan, but just don’t remember it because of the capitation.
