I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

To me this perspective seems to reach the exact opposite conclusion than it should given its premises.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

Works well with nextcloud also.

If just annotating, I’d also suggest Okular. It’s pretty good at notes, highlighting, etc.

The free version of MasterPDF (as available via AUR) is fully functional, but it will add watermark if you modify any PDF page contents (and maybe other conditions).

MasterPDF Editor is quite good. In the past I found the windows keygen works with linux version. You have to block it from accessing internet though, or it will phone home to verify. This was a while ago I used it, so my info may be slightly out of date. Here’s one way to block it from having internet access, start with this command: bwrap --bind / / --unshare-net masterpdfeditor5

That’s great that these MPs want to educate themselves. They could learn a lot. By “compel” I’m sure they mean something like “inspire” these people to come and share their experience and research with them in a respectful philosophical exchange. And by “defend” they are probably thinking of the clever Socratic traditions of inquiry.

What features are locked? I’ve only ever used the f-droid version, and haven’t noticed anything blocked. But I don’t use it much (unfortunately).

The title of this article is deplorably sensationalistic, but the article itself isn’t bad. I guess they couldn’t fit this into the title:

It requires a written application and assessments from two independent medical practitioners, including at least one specialized in their condition if the applicant is not near their natural death.

The article also notes:

Even after the change in the legislation [to allow non-foreseeable death applications], about 98% of the assisted deaths in 2021 were people deemed near their natural death, according to Health Canada data.

Maybe journa.host public feed? https://journa.host/public/local

Or better, use the elk.zone interface: https://elk.zone/journa.host/public/local

It’s a mastodon instance for verified journalists, and so… you know. If it bleeds it leads…

(I’m not [entirely] serious… just as the cartoon the post link leads to isn’t… [entirely?]…)

From what I’m hearing doomscrolling is quite difficult to achieve on mastodon. People are mostly horribly nice and supportive and stuff. And there’s no cool vampire algorithm exploiting heightened emotions. But where there’s a will, there’s a way! You can do it. Choose your doom-y hashtags carefully, my friend! We believe in you.

A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?

Anyone know what research the minister is referencing? The academic later quoted said there wasn’t much research. I also wonder what was the basis for dropping cursive… The article appears to be just a bunch of cheering with little substance or context.

Personally I just dislike cursive and always have. Other people’s cursive writing is a pain in the he ass to read much of the time. The speed benefit is crushed by legibility issues. Doing a lot of genealogy research for example really underscores this, when most documents were hand written in cursive. .Yeah, great I can read cursive, but it is so often tedious and painful to decipher. There is a reason many forms came to say “print clearly”. Just my opinion and experience.

Not a super big deal either way, but so far I’m glad my kids didn’t have to bother with cursive. Artist, musician and computer programmer. Bilingual. Cursive-free!

I just found it interesting how the Canadian founder of Farm Aid sees things differently than his American partners in regards to Covid-19 delta context.
