Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?English21·2 days agoSorry to thread jack. One little app I miss from Windows is a simple screengrab annotator? Wondering if people have anything to recommend.
Eg to circle some on screen text, add an arrow and maybe add some of my own text.
I cant get my Loigtech KB to screen grab, so I just use the Screengrab app in Mint, which is fine but zero annotation abilities.
I have tried Flameshot but it is a shitshow and doesn’t work properly and is unstable (for me) and doesn’t allow me to put it in the clipboard and paste in say Signal.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.zip•PSA: Get Your Parents Off the Meta AI App Right Now-This is bad, folks. Very bad.English10·2 days agoMeta will be asking for anus scans soon and people will sit their asshole on their phone and think nothing of it.

Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto collapse of the old society@slrpnk.net•Alaska Just Issued Its First-Ever Heat Advisory—and It Won’t Be the LastEnglish3·2 days agoNice little chart from Zack Labe on Mastodon about Artic amplifcation. Alas Zack is one of NOAAs employees that was fired by DOGE.
Not sure how you post a Mastodon link on Lemmy.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Linux@programming.dev•The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOfficeEnglish2·2 days agoGrab a 1 TB nvme, take the Widows one out, install the new SSD boot the USB thumbdrive, install Bazzite (or Mint) and off you go, that’s all I did. I’m running LMDE but not a big gamer, so the little I do play all works on Mint Debian Edition.
If it all gives you the shits after a time, just put the old SSD back in and boot back into Windows.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Linux@programming.dev•The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOfficeEnglish2·2 days agoTrue but like Reddit shitting the bed every 8 months leads to waves of folks on Lemny, or Twaxter doing the same thing leading to Mastodon waves. This wikl be another wave but how many ? Maybe a few 1000 only I guess ? I left for Mint about 3 years ago (dual boot defaulting to Mint) then to LMDE 12 months ago.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Looking for a good e-mail provider that's not Tuta/ProtonEnglish7·3 days agoAs am Australian, do not trust us, we keep votong for politcans who are happy to use the no prowvacy dildo of consequence and use the CSAM/ terrorist trope to attack anyone against it.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anyone else going basic with their NAS?English41·3 days agoI don’t really get the whole NAS thing i must admit. Most of what I read about what people are doing is enabling slacker family and friends ? (That’s not a critisism, just an observation)
I have a TV, a HDD connected on the router and Kodi on the Nvidia Shield Pro. Any music is stored on my phone, or streamed via Netradio
I very occasionally copy media across to my phone to watch and then… it sits there and I dont watch it.
My parter uses Kodi on the TV occasioanly.
I don’t stream anything aside from some YT occasionally (DIY etc)
I get people do endless shit with their NAS, or server but I’m am retired and don’t have the time
Books are managed via Calibre on a a Kobo.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Australia@aussie.zone•As Australia campaigns for Cop31 hosting rights, it’s time to stop talking and start doingEnglish1·3 days agoWe shouldn’t but we probably will. Australian voters have near zero support for climate change action aside from pearl clutching.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Boost For Lemmy@lemmy.world•[feature request] Support for Piefed instancesEnglish2·3 days agoLike Matodon Piefed also steps outside ActivityPub to do stuff its own way, which is not a good thing IMO as you end up with fragmentation.
None the less, I am trailing piefed but find the Interstellar app annoying… so.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Boost For Lemmy@lemmy.world•[feature request] Support for Piefed instancesEnglish1·3 days agoI have been using Interstellar for that reason, it sucks compared to Boost on Lemmy but hey, it works on Piefed (and Lemmy) but yeah, it sucks compartively as an App.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Australia@aussie.zone•Wealthy Australians are worried we might realise how rigged the system is in their favourEnglish4·3 days agoBased on how we vote, the articles headline seems unlikely.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Aussie Enviro@aussie.zone•Top End (NT) solar farms finally allowed to send power to the gridEnglish4·14 days agoWhat a fucking debacle
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Australian Politics@aussie.zone•What went wrong for the Greens in the Australian election?English6·14 days agoAs a Greens voter I don’t think theres much more the Greens can do ? Albeit I’m open to suggestions.
As a long time Greens voter, their policy platfrom doesn’t sit with most voters (science and expert based mixed with kindness and inclusivety)
The issue is, if they morph to recgonise that’s not what people want, they will need to look into the abyss and become the abyss and turn into something truly ugly like Labour have done. Albanese literately says that in the AFR today.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•Macron to China: Keep North Korea out of Ukraine war or risk NATO coming to AsiaEnglish3·14 days agoAll the downvotes, what’s wrong with my comment?
It’s a stupid as saying that Russia has shot down F16s in Ukraine therefore The US has no power to project.
Hanrahan@slrpnk.netto Mental Health@lemmy.world•The more I stayed informed, the less I recognized myselfEnglish3·14 days agoYes and no, i cam absolutely see how you get there though
I use triage to “cope”. Pare it away and for me the things that matter most are the enviorment and inequality.
Without the former nothing else matters becase there is no future possible with no liveable biosphere (anti car, anti growth, anti nation state, aethiest etc), without the latter, humanity doesn’t matter (some random person from Sudan is as important as my fellow “citizens”) , so i become interested in, read about, pay attention to and support those at the intersection of those two priorities
I long ago came to understand thats not how most people see the world bit that brings me some comfirt.
Grab 'em by the pussy anon and then go on to be President!
