Installing a random .deb comes with enormous security implications. I am not sure that making the process more beginner friendly is a really good idea.

“Beginner friendly” should be limited to things from the main repositories, and for that there is the Software Center.

I’m facing just one major issue. I’m blind myself, coding the app as my personal tool.

I am sorry, but this is just absolutely incredible. Do you have a channel somewhere where you talk about how you do it? I’d love to know more.

I bet you are more of a woman than that person will ever be.

Honestly, visibility is probably the smaller problem. The sheer mass of these monsters is a risk factor in itself. Once you see what a big truck or SUV can do to a smaller car, you realize humans are not likely to survive a collision with one of them. Pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist.

The irony is that a lot of people like these vehicles because their truck makes them feel safe. That safety is bought by making everyone else unsafe. Sort of like the way drivers of these vehicles drone on about how much better they see everything around them, by making everyone else blind behind them.

Being in Europe right now and following the local market, Europeans seem to prefer Chinese models over Tesla for a variety of reasons, Elon Musk being only one of them. Others I’ve heard include:

Teslas look stale and boring. They are too expensive to be everyman cars, but a 10 year old Tesla looks essentially the same as a new one. Luxury car buyers want to show off.

Tesla keeps downgrading features after the car was bought. What used to be included requires a subscription later on. Worse, Tesla decides when your car works and when it doesn’t.

That’s the more important ones I’ve heard. So far, all I’ve seen on the streets are European competitors and Koreans. There is a BYD dealership in town, and it’s very busy, but the vehicles they have on display are American-sized and too big for traffic here.

So it’s him against Eric Adams now. Shouldn’t be all that hard, and I wish him the best.

Long time supporter of incremental change and centrist policies here. Saw the way the Democratic party crumbled to dust after the election, saw the way Schumer and Jeffries went AWOL. It’s time for change. Not just generational, but also political, social, and philosophical.

Let Mamdani win, and let him turn New York into a better, more humane place.

Completed task successfully! For future readers, the process seems to have slightly changed. Now you go to Okular preferences, Annotations, Add annotation, call it Signature, etc. You can even resize the signature, which is really useful when the resolution of the PDF varies.

The hardware identifiers like IMEI and serial number are the same, which means previous use of the phone can be linked to you.

WE understand that. Someone deluded themselves into thinking that a couple bombs would magically produce peace. This is not a Harry Potter movie, so Explosio Nocturna did not work.

I heard something similar. And that any “blue” or “neutral” comment is followed by an immediate suspension or outright ban. I haven’t witnessed it myself, though, since I haven’t been active on Reddit in over a year now.

How very Ender’s Game of them.

OMG you are an absolute legend of a life saver! Thank you so much, I am going to try it out as soon as I get to a computer!

Okular is absolutely fantastic. The only thing I am missing is image import, to place my signature on PDF forms, and then it’s perfect.

Does anyone know if it has that feature and I’m just too dumb to find it?

Like many who responded, I don’t think it’s hardcore to not be on Reddit. I was for a long time, then my local forum in Denver was crushed by Reddit admins overreacting to the API rebellion, then the hobby forums started being taken over by AI, and finally the tone on other subs became absolutely toxic, with no variant of the prevailing opinion allowed. Hello, /r/Summit!

The only thing missing from Lemmy is depth, and that will fill in automatically as more people join. For a change, I am delighted to be on a platform that isn’t beholden to a small group that makes all the decisions regardless of user input. In fact, I started out on KBin until that flaked out massively (back to normal, now) and was excited that I could just switch to Lemmy and see the exact same things.

Now I am on piefed because I like Python and would like to contribute. But I love all the people at Lemmy <3.

There is one good thing about “Abundance:” it makes for much better messaging than the traditional leftist framing.

Traditionally, leftists focused on taking from one side (the rich, owners, capital class) to give to the other (the poor, workers). That makes it appear like this is a zero-sum game and focuses the conversation on givers and takers, and engenders in some/many people fear as the primary response.

I don’t think leftists emphasize enough that this is in fact not a zero-sum game: by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, you are not just being fair, you are also automatically generating growth. Capitalist economies are giant machines that suck money from the poor to the rich, and if the poor have nothing, then the rich also eventually starve.

I fully agree with the criticism in the article: Abundance tells a story without villain, and following its recommendations leads to nowhere because the problem is much bigger than what Abundance says it is. At the same time, Abundance focuses on the more. While “more” is not automatically “better,” focusing on the former probably reaches a lot more people on an emotional level.

I am pretty sure Christian faith and scriptures don’t object to rainbow flags, so they must object to what it stands for, the people they do not condemn. Allegedly.

My mother used to do that, too. I asked her about it, and she said, “You don’t know how scary it is for a woman to walk a long distance in a parking lot.”

The amount of money they get for signing on is so staggeringly huge, it is one of the drivers of the high inflation they are having.
