Appreciation Post for KATE

I feel like I should up my game in vim. It's my preferred CLI text editor, I hate when things default to nano as I have trouble working out how to use it. But I very much use the OOTB vim and only basic commands at that.

When you say you have it set up as an IDE, are you talking something that looks like the first picture here (with the red boxes)? I have so much to learn 😅

Hmm, I guess I have Joplin and I use it a lot, but it doesn't really feel the same as a text editor. I'm not really sure how to explain it haha

Maybe I should be looking for a note taking app, but I want it for storing everything from to do list items to quick edits of code snippets so I kind of want the text editor features.

I haven't! But the main advantage of the Notepad++ way is the files aren't actually saved anywhere, it saves them temporarily until you choose where to properly save them. You can just keep opening new tabs and putting stuff in them and it remembers even if closed, but you don't have to actually save them.

One thing I miss from Notepad++ that I've never found in a Linux text editor is the ability to just open it and type stuff and it stays there even if you close it and open it again.

RFC: Suggestion to monetise without ads

Ah yes, I guess it was Flattr! I read the top of the above linked wikipedia page and it talked about visiting pages with a browser extension, which didn't sound right. But I see now in the history section it has:

Its first version required users to click on a "flattr" button on websites to "flattr" content.

So I guess I was in early!

Is your experience reading the OP? Because that post is full of emotion. I think the post is ironic but after Alanis Morissette I'm never sure anymore.

I assigned myself one of these things but why do they exist?

Dave @lemmy.nz 1d ago

To my knowledge Lemmy doesn't have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.

I mean, milk and gelatin is just shitty panna cotta. Add a few more ingredients and it will be good.

I remember something that I think was a bit different to Flattr. People would put buttons on their sites, then you'd kind of thumbs up or upvote or something when you visited the site if you liked it. At the end of each month, your specified donation amount got split based on the the proportion of likes on each site. I think it would be separate buttons for e.g. each article on the site, or perhaps you could like more than once as I seem to recall being able to give another like each other time you visited.

For a while there were a bunch of sites I'd visit that had it, but I can't remember seeing it since perhaps 5-10 years ago.

Hi StarTrek.website, I'm Karim Diané aka Jay-Den Kraag from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, AMA! (Responding to questions Thursday @4pm!)

He talks a bit about it on this instagram video uploaded to reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/trektalk/comments/1quvssy/starfleet_academy_whats_up_with_the_voice_of/

TL;DR it's the voice he puts on for the role but might also be adjusted to some extent in post.

It's election year. We have never had a 1 term government in my lifetime. They current (right wing) government is not polling as well as you'd expect so here's hoping for change.

Unfortunately NZ is not immune to the global nazi problem.

George Takei is on Mastodon and has been for years, surely he would have done something.

I got a kobo recently and was amazed to find you can sync it with calibre-web to basically run your own book store. Browse and download any books from your server. Pretty cool.

From the thread it seems it's only a problem during setup. If you stick it out then after setup it should be fine.
