Regula 24/24

Am descoperit regula 24/24 dintr-un clip video pe YouTube și, sincer, mi s-a părut una dintre cele mai simple și mai de bun-simț idei legate de bani pe care le-am auzit în ultima vreme.

Am vrut să fac o listă cu programe și servicii Europene și nu o să mai fac acest proiect pentru că există: https://european-alternatives.eu

After 1.5 years in the making, @gnome Papers 50 will let you create freestanding text & ink annotations on PDFs (using a Wacom tablet stylus, for example), i.e. drawing & handwriting (to circle things or sign documents the old-fashioned way, or highlighting on scanned documents): https://lbaudin.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/blog/posts/drawing-writing-with-papers/

Used it in practice today. I've been hoping for this for about 20 years.
Papers nightly is such a massive improvement!

Thank you @lbaudin for implementing it :owi:

Thanks @fina for making me discover this particular Magic Wormhole client application for Android: https://github.com/wormhole-app/wormhole (not to be confused with similarly-named things like https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole)

…it's the only one I've seen actually work properly with the GNOME "Warp" Magic Wormhole app (https://apps.gnome.org/Warp/), unlike these:
* https://f-droid.org/packages/com.leastauthority.destiny/
* https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.pavelsof.wormhole/

Unfortunately it is not on #FDroid, that's why I never found it before.

Why there’s no European Google?

@constantin Linux Mint este un OS foarte bun și stabil.

Limita de 500 de caractere poate fi modifică de administratorul instanței.

Ubuntu mi-se pare un OS bun în continuare - dar nu l-am folosit de foarte mult timp.

Eu a trecut la Linux Mint de la Fedora. Deci nu mai știu cum este Ubuntu.

If you can help, check out our Weblate: https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/comaps/

And if you'd like to add a language that's completely missing so far: Get in touch with us to get that process started.

@sjosjo @julianmaiz No one is obligated to use an immutable distribution, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

@julianmaiz @sjosjo I didn't say that the Mint team should abandon the normal version. I specified that it would be nice, perhaps useful, to have an immutable version of Linux Mint.

@Jbeuw Yes, more DEs are needed for diversity and competition. But for certain distributions/development teams, a single DE is sufficient.
