Biology majors: intense focus

Computer Science Majors: Lost their mind

I actually sent a bunch of prompts through image generators till it gave something close to what I wanted

Using generative AI to try and visualize generative AI

It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Yup, and if you find that it’s still not enough then you can add more friction.

For example, if there is a certain subreddit that you go to a lot and don’t want to, block that subreddit at the browser level.

You could block the entire website, but you don’t want to get into the habit of unblocking things (ex. If you need to access a post with some resource, after coming across it when searching). Better to block what you need to block, instead of overdoing it.

Other changes:

• old.reddit
• uBlock origin to block parts of a site
• disabling subreddit themes
• extensions such as this (unless there is a more up to date version: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/minimal-internet-experience/ )

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

Lots of great suggestions here already

I haven’t seen mobile editing mentioned yet:

• ImageToolbox for a very good Android image editing tool

• Fossify Gallery for some quick editing tools built into the gallery

• While not directly for editing, Tidy on android allows for AI search locally

• Termux for any CLI edits (imagemagick, etc.)

I’d be interested in another post on that topic :)

I tried draw.io for a similar task and, while it worked alright, I agree that it’s a bit too much work to set up nicely

There are also some CAD tools that are FOSS. Maybe some of those can help?

Wow the UI is nice

https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

Finamp is a Jellyfin music player for Android and iOS. It’s meant to give you a similar listening experience as traditional streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, but for the music that you already own. It’s free, open-source software, just like Jellyfin itself.

https://nextcloud.com/hub/

Hub integrates the four key Nextcloud products Files, Talk, Groupware and Office into a single platform, optimizing the flow of collaboration. Eliminate the confusing hodgepodge of different SaaS tools and the compliance, security, cost and productivity issues that come with it and standardize on a single solution with Nextcloud Hub.

Cool!

Note for any new comments:

It helps if you add an explanation of what it does, or link to read more. The name often isn’t descriptive enough, and people love to find new things to use.

I end up using some blog post when that happens because the forums make no sense

Thanks :)

What is something Linux related that you’ve learned recently?

As a meta question, could this work as an additional (or alternate) recurring discussion question? It felt similar in intent, to encourage people to keep learning / asking questions and chances are that if someone learned something then others will benefit from the information (or correct them)

This is part of the problem for me. I can’t dismiss the popup unless I hang up, and I don’t want to do that in case my number gets marked as “active”.

So I sit there and wait till I can use it again.

Also I appreciate the detailed alt text :)

Canada, we face the same issues as the US for telecom stuff

I don’t think anyone answers the phone now, unless they recognize the number.

Most of the calls I get are

• spam
• spam
• someone sent me a time sensitive message, so they ring me once to respond faster
• spam

Fossify Gallery includes some basic editing

FFShare works nicely for reducing file sizes, but I wish it was more forgiving and did the conversion in the background. More than once I waited through the conversion and then accidentally closed it.

Termux also works well. Some tips:

• change the shell to something like Fish. Autocomplete helps a lot when typing on mobile
• set up some aliases for common commands

What are some recommendations for putting Ventoy on your main USB (with other contents instead of just ISOs)? I need to find the guide I saw, it mentioned some configurations to prevent it from searching every directory for ISOs

Also while I’m having some federation issues, the linked website can be subscribed to from here :)
