A Kodi client that allows seeking would be great.

How to switch a lemmy/fediverse post (link) to one's home instance eg using a bookmarklet? (lemmy.ml)

I believe this used to work with e.g. something like https://lemmy.ml/post/2401677@feddit.org (assuming federation works and is current and all that).

This URL format no longer seems to work, is there a new/different endpoint to achieve the same?

I've found that I can use https://feddit.org/post/2401677 as a search term on https://lemmy.ml/search but putting together the appropriate URL (https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Ffeddit.org%2Fpost%2F2401677&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll) with a bookmarklet does not quite work - it comes up showing "no results", but I can click on "Search" again without changing anything and the same page / very same URL loads again with the post I'm looking for as the only search result. This link in this post also shows this exact behavior for me.

Is there any convenient way at all to achieve this - something I can click once, like a bookmarklet?

For reference, here's my half-working one:

javascript:(function() {const myInst="https://lemmy.ml/";let currUrl=window.location.toString();let newUrl=myInst+"search?q="+encodeURIComponent(currUrl)+"&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll";window.location=newUrl;})()

I found it kinda weird that the page this link opens on makes it look kinda like a closed source freemium thing, and (on mobile) I had to dig a fair bit to see that it's actually FOSS and an official part of the KDE project.

I run KDE as my daily driver, and hadn't heard of Krita before; so yeah, I guess it could use a bit more exposure.

Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch? by jmbreuer in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Which - in my considered opinion - makes them so much worse.

Is it because writing native UI on all current systems I'm aware of is still worse than in the times of NeXTStep with Interface Builder, Objective C, and their class libraries?

And/or is it because it allows (perceived) lower-cost "web developers" to be tasked with "native" client UI?

Well, I'd guess no one would keep you from going "shopping" at the nearest pharmacy.

How often do you contribute to open source projects? by jmbreuer in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] jmbreuer@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I'd guess about monthly to bimonthly, in the sense of submitting a fix for an issue that affects/concerns me/my use of open source projects.

I tried, I really did by jmbreuer in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Thank you for sharing your story!

For your kind of use case and issues, I'd recommend finding someone local with a good amount of Linux experience and do a couple of pair sessions. I find this transports a lot more (especially 'soft') knowledge on concepts and how to do things efficiently. Also, it helps to share frustrations ;-)

Linux does not try to be another Windows. While it's fairly possible to treat it kinda as such especially in newer times, it won't feel efficient or convenient that way, in my experience.

Kinda disappointed in The Register of all things adopting this faux personal life story reporting style on such a matter.

I feel most of this is a slippery slope / negative sum spiral.

See e.g. Liv Boeree's video on beauty filters.

Working and well-integrated "run this on that rendering GPU", with unused GPUs being switched off (laptop use case).
