Gods, I hate those. I won’t watch anything that does it

Really?

Dyslexia!

Yeah, obviously, or the title wouldn’t even have happened.

And it’s been that way for a while now. Back when windows 10 happened, I was able to install mint, get most of my preferred programs set up, and handle data transfer with zero CLI use. Which was awesome, because my dyslexic ass would have taken forever otherwise. It wasn’t until I started putzing around for pop and giggles that I even opened a terminal.

My mom w as able to jump right in after installation of mint, and go through the gui to try things out, no issues.

Thanks :)

Seems like it might be at least a partial answer to my preferences

Does it use embedded lyrics or insist on using the internet?

Secondarily, does it offer any of the more useful tagging controls and library management features?

I keep looking for a Linux native player that can get close to musicbee. Haven’t found one yet, they all lack major features like batch file renaming and organization.

Are they ever going to respect embedded lyrics?

Too far gone at this point. It sucks, but every drive has an end of life. After that point, no matter how many hoops you jump through, they’re read only until they quit entirely. I think that’s where you are now, so even if there’s something in the thread that works to get it back to being able to write to it, you should consider what you get on there as read only, and maybe that only is “only once”.

Nice! Thanks for the tip!

Edit: holy shit, how have I never run across that before? That’s a brilliant program right there.

Because it isn’t doc is docx.

Publishers are pissy about such things. Even self publishing (which is what I do now), the various outlets still have limits to what they will use. Amazon accepts something like three file formats, including their own, and pdf isn’t on the list.

I could just do pdf for directly giving them away to people, but even then, epub is usually a better pick in terms of readability since that’s the standard for actual books since ereaders tend to display it better than pdfs. Most people reading books via files would be using something that can give a better experience with epub vs pdf.

Not correctly, no. Librewriter does a bit better, but still misses some bits

Man, I’ve written three novels plus assorted shorter form stories in markdown.

There’s a learning curve, but once you get going, it’s so fluid. The problem is that when it comes time to format for release, you have to convert to something else, and not every word processor can handle markdown. It’s extra work, but worth it, imo.

You pronounce it any way other than the way the person saying it does.

This results in a few possible outcomes.

The person may get an opportunity to go on at length about why their pronunciation is used, and be entertaining.

The person may get all het up about it, insisting that you’re wrong, and you can further mess with them by shrugging and continuing to use whatever you were using.

The person doesn’t care, and y’all have a nice conversation about distros and Linux in general.

The person switches to your pronunciation, and you now have a stalker.

Makes sense, I can get how splitting feeds could get old.

There used to be an app that combined feeds, liftoff. It was awesome in that regard, you could log in to multiple accounts, and have access to all of it in one, or have it separated. It would be wicked if someone were to implement that in other apps for sure, though it wouldn’t be useful for folks using a browser.

Out of curiosity, why yiffit in particular? Lot of nice people there for sure, but that can be said of most instances.

If you’re going to only have a single account to keep track of, there are plenty of options that aren’t as likely to be defederated, and you still have access to the yiffit content and users as well as ml content and users.

Mind you, there’s more benefit to having multiple accounts than drawbacks, particularly for the nsfw stuff. I tend to block the majority of the communities that fall into the porn side of that on my main accounts just because I like my feed to be useful to me, and I have very limited use for porn/fetish material on a regular basis, but I don’t bother on other accounts because it doesn’t bother me to just scroll past on those occasional use accounts.

I’ve never been able to get musicbee working on Linux.

Your meme belongs in the bottom two tiers.

You did ask for honest!

Like u/lukmyly013 said, I’d love an official KDE version to mint. It isn’t that hard to get going, and I like cinnamon well enough on most things, but there are a few situations where I’d like to have plasma out of the box

If you want to enjoy distro hopping, go find a cheap thinkpad as a secondary device, and have fun. Otherwise, you try out live discs/drives to see if you get full compatibility with your main device.

Truth is that you’ll have more difference in user experience DE hopping than distro hopping.

You only distro hop until you find what works right with an your hardware and preferred software, unless you’re doing it as a hobby. Now, the desktop environments? That’s where you’ll see the big difference.
