It would be cool if they added an option to search and select multiple bookmarks and move them to a folder.
Currently they allow selecting bookmarks and moving them, but not inside search.

Having that would make bookmark management very easy.

It is currently summer in India.

Are there any behavioural or infra modifications that would help handle the increased heat?
I have read about how white roofs would reduce heat absorption and energy needed for cooling
Are there other things like that? Especially ones that regular people can try? The other type(policy decision type) are ok too tho. Would be good to know them.

Also, are there any communities that would have discussions on such topics? Like a TIL or DIY community where people talked about general issues and solutions.
Is it this community?

Totally logical and humane analysis

Only one nation has ever used atomic weapons on civillians. That nation has done that twice. And the same nation has a habit of threatening nuclear attack and also of carpet bombing.

U S S R(had), P R C and India have a No First use policy for atomic weapons. The nation I mentioned earlier and its allies don't have any such policy. Sure, one may say that No first use stuff is just sly behaviour, then why don't the other countries also do that? Because they want to dominate and control?

That itself shows the difference. Knowing that, this shows how they would rather avoid serious wars that lead to a loss of many lives, unless they are forced to.

I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

Did not have any major resolutions, but have been exercising decently for a year and half or so.

I can search in the bookmarks section and see some bookmarks that I want to remove, but can't select them while in the bookmark search results.

Is there any way to select multiple bookmarks based on a name or link and delete them?

I do know that I can do it by syncing to a PC and deleting it from there, but asking to see if there are alternatives ways.

How do(or how would) you handle this issue?

Searched the net about it, but most of the articles on List all tabs seems to be on how to remove it

They have no issues with sanctions on Cuba and NK, right?

Considering even this:

In your locality, region, state, country etc
Any orgs like that.

Examples from the area I'm from, Kerala:

  1. Kudumbasree or Prosperity of the family
    Org that was setup by the state govt to empower women, reduce poverty etc.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudumbashree

  2. Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad or Kerala Science Literature Movement
    Org with the aim to improve scientific temper
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Sasthra_Sahithya_Parishad

Another org that I've recently heard about in the state of Maharashtra, India:
Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti or Committee Eradication of Blind Faith, Maharsashtra
Read about how the leader of the org was gunned down by religious extremists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra_Andhashraddha_Nirmoolan_Samiti

Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it's nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.

Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don't stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.

Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.

How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I'm thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

Decent sleep, diet, exercise etc. would be the basics, so mentioning them first, so that specific info on it would be discussed.
Like any specific exercise that you think would be useful for most people etc, that's not really popular or so?

On exercise, I think light neck exercises and stretches are cool. Do be careful.

Tech stuff:

  1. Generally, Firefox with uBo is awesome on all devices. Some of the extra filters make it more cool.
  2. RSS feeds are awesome.
    RSS-Bridge helps to get feeds for websites that don't offer one.
    Lemmy supports RSS feeds
    Google news feeds can be obtained as RSS feeds by adding /rss:
    https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=SearchTerm Also other operators like when:24h can be used

Android:

  1. Pipepipe and Newpipe have options to use WebM format. It saves data and space. Quite cool.
  2. Skipsilence(Fast forward during silence) option - Pipepipe and Newpipe have it. AntennaPod(for podcasts)
    MPV script with a similar feature: https://codeberg.org/ferreum/mpv-skipsilence
  3. Activity Manager - A foss app that allows to create launchable activities. Can be useful to access and create shortcuts to Android/data folder.
  4. Aard2 is a cool foss Android dictionary app
  5. Markor is a foss Android app for text document and markdown
  6. Seal on Android helps to download yt playlists and since it uses yt-dlp, it can be used on many other websites too. Have used it to listen to Dessalines' audiobooks when I'm offline. They're cool.
  7. Sayboard - foss voice to text keyboard
  8. OCR - foss OCR app using Tesseract (Thanks for the recommendation/reminder by jk43)

PC/Laptop:

  1. In laptops, touchpad gestures are quite cool
  2. Pdf Arranger is quite good for combining or separating pdfs.
  3. In Word or other document editors, there maybe a option to display non-printing characters. Useful to see if too many spaces or tabs are the reason for some formatting issue.
  4. For slides, using notes and narrator view is nice. SlideMaster settings too. I've only used Powerpoint for it, but Libreoffice likely has similar stuff.

Have heard about jxl being useful for reducing image file sizes. Haven't used it much as there is no widespread support. But if you store a lot of jpg images and want to save space, it maybe nice.

General:

  1. Recently have seen a video about the 5 why root cause analysis, which talked about a logic tree to find root causes and that was nice. Obvious, but nice to hear about.
  2. Libretext and Openstax are quite cool for open textbooks on things.

Please do share some things that you find useful.
Any exercises, resources, websites, file formats, apps, techniques etc. that you find useful and think that most/more people would find use with?

Thanks in advance.

In my case, did think about exercising the legs more and have started a bit.

Recently?

How a lawyer in America got jailed for legally fighting against(and defeating) an American multi-national oil company that polluted the Amazon and more importantly harmed the lives and health of the locals with the pollution.

Xi would not hurt civillians like that. Only one country has used nukes on civillians.
He probably would not want to be on the same list as them on it.

Not a USA-ian, but weren't issues like racism and homophobia worse off then?

Why?
They'd just need to get property in the safer places.

I think they'd improve research in automation and AI. So that they can have their stuff, without having to rely on regular people who'd be wiped out or affected by climate change in the long run.

Batman is a CEO, right?

He just goes after the ones he can beat without much backlash from the public/system.

Imagine if he takes down a CEO. He'd not be able to play batman. Gordon and batman sympathisers would be affected, so Batman's human connection in the police would be lost. He can hack stuff, but might not always be enough.

He can do other stuff, but he can only do it gradually and much more tactfully.

They are taught about it from childhood and many of us don't questions stuff we've learnt in our childhood.

Education fails to instil scientific temper in them

Lack of proper mental health awareness and support.

Jerboa
Using it since it's the app from a lemmy dev.
It's decent for my use.
Tho, some option simulating the multireddit option would be good. But it might be becoming a feature request for lemmy than a lemmy app there.

Isn't that generally said by countries that oppose them?

The land of the less authoritarian had race discrimination until half a century ago, right? Seeing the BLM, it seems to have a prominent role even now. So are they any better?
