Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you ever go on conservative video platforms?English
1·1 month agoNope. Terrible signal/noise ratio. My video watching is mostly peertube and YT when I can’t find something elsewhere.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you guys know people who are awful human beings, but end up being super attractive, smart and loved by everyone they seem, but you can see through their bullshit and don't like them?English
10·3 months agoYup. He wasn’t very attractive (but not ugly either), but was very good at talking to people. Manipulating them and playing them off on one another, delivering just the right amount of praise or scorn at the right time. Complete narcissistic asshole if you knew him well. Not to mention really racist.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Finally, after some time I made the switch to #Linux !English
2·3 months agoI usually use CopyQ. Has all sorts of stuff.
Hm. I stand corrected. I could swear it did both ways.
I’ve had some trouble with PDFs that were just images of pages of text (easy way to tell, assuming you’re on linux, is run
pdftotexton it and see if you get anything). There’s a utility calledpdfsandwichthat will use Tesseract to OCR the images and add text to the PDF.That might help too.
Yeeeah to get nice results you have to do a fair bit of tinkering. Almost never worth it unless PDF is the only thing you can get.
I just checked and tested it, works for me. Is there anything unusual about the PDF?
Calibre should be able to convert from one to the other. Pandoc as well if you prefer CLI things.

I’m not that much of a gamer, but ask your favorite search engine for winedb and protondb for details about game compatibility.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Microsoft Proposes "Hornet" Security Module For The Linux KernelEnglish
725·10 months agoFuck off, microsoft…
Not really. I’ve never really gotten the hang of sleeping in. I wake up at the same time weekday or weekend, only difference is I might read in bed for a bit before actually getting up if I have nothing to do that morning.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else miss Marcan42's Mastodon page?English
6·11 months agoNope.
I might actually, I have someone dropping by a spare laptop they don’t want in a few weeks and I was going to toss xubuntu on it kind of by default, but maybe not.
