How does it hold up against Ardour?

Never had trouble with that. A quick look online seems to tell that it's an issue even for Microsoft Word.

Have you tried exporting to PDF first?

Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of "don't use themes" inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.

You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.

Of course, I don't think there is anything inherently wrong about Calligra. It's just that, so far... I see no point for using it.

You can make LibreOffice look more like Microsoft Office, it's in the settings. No need for OnlyOffice for that.

I mean "redundant" as in "Calligra does not offer me anything special compared to LibreOffice"; and so I prefer to keep using LibreOffice as it is essentially the source of all things OpenDocument.

As a KDE fan, I don't use any of these "redundant" programs, unless there is a true benefit.

The thing is that, LibreOffice works and looks great in Plasma, and Calligra doesn't do anything special.

It's even more obvious for me with KTorrent. We already have qBitTorrent!

I absolutely like things like Neochat, tho, because in this case the "official" alternative is an annoying Electron app.

Sorry but your argument is absolutely false. Even if Firefox is not the most private browser ever, it's waaaay more private than Chrome. And you can even make it better with a couple of toggles.

Been using BTRFS since I learned I could squeeze more data on my cheap-ass drive and... It's been 3 years, no problem at all, and I have backups anyway.

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.

Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

They don't need to be brilliant, just decent enough.

I am talking about this kind of livestream.

It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

Every time I mention that I like Huberman's podcasts, I get bombarded with comments on how he's basically a fool, a liar, yadayada.

And when I read every link, trying to see if maybe I should ditch his podcasts... all I see is, at most, in very specific cases, that some scientists defend different theories.

Like... wow. Science in a nutshell.

That is specially funny once you actually listen to his podcasts, because he is constantly reminding people that his words are not the literal truth, that he is no cop, and that he is simply collecting some evidence and always asking for people to go research this information, consult their doctor/physician/professional...

Joe Rogan has like a 1000 clips that can give you absolute clues on how this guy is... well... not great. And my guess is that people are associating a big muscular man with another?

Has the podcast claimed that the white male is a superior species or what am I missing?

Come on, what kind of dark agenda does a guy like Huberman have when basically everything that he says can be condensed into:

  • get good sleep
  • do sport
  • eat well
  • go outside ?

Another thing I've seen is many articles pointing out his "bad romances" and other weird personal life details, as if that mattered somehow?

I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.

I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app...

I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android... I just couldn't find the right tool on Android for the job.

How do you solve this problem yourself?

The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that "John has an old laptop collecting dust" or "Mary has this specific tool that I'd love to use for my current project".

It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the "shared knowledge".

So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.

Is there a database of sorts for these things? It seems like there should be.

As a small phone lover, here's the thing: we don't consume as many phones or as many services as (general) big phone people.

It's not only about the size of the community. It's that our phones are tools generally at our service and not the reverse.

Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.

For a second I thought they were launching their federated lemmy/kbin instance. With different communities, like "support", "bugs", "news"...

Would have been freaking awesome and a great use case for Lemmy and federarion.

Good for them anyway.
