How does one even live like this? in c/[email protected]

This is something that has always interested me but I've never tried. Any recommendations on a set of picks to start with?

Issues filling forms in PDFs (lemm.ee)
 

Pretty much all of the PDF readers I have tried will work for form filling, however I have some similar issues with all of them.

I mainly use Okular or Atril.

Issue 1 is when filling out multiple fields in a PDF, it becomes extremely slow, to the point of typing some text, and having to wait for 5-10 second for it to show up and I can continue.

Issue 2 is that both Okular and Atril will insert the text with a much larger font size and/or different font than the document. Even in cases where the fields have some pre-populated text, if I touch the field, the font changes. Sometimes the change is significant enough that the text is not readable, or makes surrounding elements not readable.

The best way I have found that works is to use FireFox. The form filling in that works fast and doesn't mess up the fonts, but the way FireFox handles saving PDFs is tedious. I can't just click ctrl+s to save, as it prompts me to choose a location to save at and makes me overwrite the original file every time, rather than just editing it in place.

Is there any PDF reader that people are aware of that does not have these issues? Or is this something that is weird with my setup?

I'm running Debian 12 with the KDE Plasma desktop environment

Finish your current project

"What project?" I say, as I start a third project after getting bored with the second project and completely forgetting that the first project ever existed.

Learning habits in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah that's what I'm talking about.

I have habits that I don't have to think about and then one day they're just gone and I have to start over. Usually it happens by having a sudden realization that the thing I did for months without thinking about it has not been done for several weeks. Then to rebuild that habit I have to start over again.

This is missing step 5 - a few months later I forget that I have a habit and have to start over from scratch

Every. Single. Time.

Ideas for programming rizz? in c/[email protected]

I don't know, I'd have to check the database. I add to it every once in a while so it keeps growing. I think I started with around 20 or so

I made a website for my wife with a list of a ton of reasons why I love her and each time she taps the screen it shows a new one.

So... that is a thing you can do for the cost of a domain name and some cheap hosting.

New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Same here. I was hopeful that covid would get people to at least be more conscious about not going places when sick, wearing masks when they are not feeling well, etc. But where I am at, people go to work, church, recreational activities, etc. with the flu and covid, even with positive test results knowing that they are contagious. I don't understand it and it hasn't gotten better.

As far as cyberpunk... I still want a full face respirator with a clear face shield (so people can see your lips when you talk), an integrated HUD (for navigation, air quality monitoring, and browsing lemmy), and some LEDs for night time illumination (and aesthetics)
