Yet another plug for Calibre. Best I've found for customizing and troubleshooting PDF conversions.

YSK: How to protect yourself against Etsy’s plan to prevent class action lawsuits (indiesellersguild.org)

Why YSK: You should know that you can protect yourself as a buyer or a seller as anyone who uses Etsy. It's a very popular sales platform and they're making some changes to prevent class action lawsuits against any shenanigans they might pull against buyers and sellers on the platform. You have the ability to opt out of this to...

Glad it helped!

I haven't either, but I also realize for me that's survivorship bias. It must have enough issues that they're trying to weasel this into their TOS.

Same. Kbin isn't bad on mobile or the app-ish mobile version on Android, but it is not the same as a dedicated app.

Sorry for the possibly dumb question, but there are themes?? Where?

Dishonored series. Coolest system I've ever played - teleportation, possession, and some fascinating level design in the sequel where you jump between times with magic. So cool, in fact, that I've had dreams that I have the Dishonored powers.

Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords? Opinions differ! (privacy.thenexus.today)

I'm changing my stance on the whole Meta/project92 thing after reading this article. I think the entire* fediverse should block project92 by default. Later, some instances can re-evaluate whether to maintain those blocks, once we have a better idea of what the benefits and consequences of federating will be:...

Meta has shown repeatedly that they aren't trustworthy. This is like watching a wolf eat every one of your chickens in the coop and then swearing up and down that if you let it in the hen house, it won't touch the chickens in there. Absolutely zero chance that they aren't going to try to take over and steal data and control it. Why else are they trying to come in? These corporations don't make moves like this unless they see a potential profit. I vote block.

U ducting in the middle of room...how do I hide this (imgur.com)

Need help figuring out how to hide this U ducting. Direct link to the Imgur album (so sorry if this is not the right way to share, still trying to figure out how to create a thread properly. Tried to add with new photo but it wouldn't let me add by URL): https://imgur.com/a/9xdkYrP...

I actually came up with an idea - there's a woodstove in the room, so we are going to frame it out and make it look like deliberate tall, skinny log storage. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks, I completely agree. It is beyond ugly.

  • Your first point: there is actually NO space above the support beam. Our HVAC guy grabbed a ladder and showed us. That beam is like 2-3 feet deep and goes all the way up. And they can't cut through because we're on a mountain and it has to support several hundred pounds of snow load.

  • There is truly nowhere else to put the ducting. We walked all through the area with the HVAC guy and suggested idea after idea and there is physically no other location to run it. Hiding it is the only option, as horrifying as it is, unless we tear out the entire new HVAC system (which we can't do).

"1920s press playbook"

What a lovely way to just verbally slaughter someone lmao

One of the commenters on the article claims to be a mod from the sub. They've been reinstated with zero communication, probably from the media pressure. And the mod-less sub starting to go up in flames.

Post blackout Reddit and the future of Buyitforlife (www.reddit.com)

The BuyItForLife subreddit is trying to figure out what to do with the changes hitting Reddit and some really interesting points about possible attempts to advertise products that aren't really BIFL. Would be great if we could encourage them to come here. Edit to add link that won't let Reddit track you:...

Unless I horribly screwed up this thread, which is possible given it's my first here in the Fediverse, I'm fairly certain I posted this link within one of the BIFL magazines here on Kbin

I appreciate that, thanks!

Losing a pet is always so hard. He will live on in your heart and he made the world brighter while he was in it with you.

This is great! I miss features from apps on Kbin, like saving posts, collapsing comments, etc. Signed up.

Wanted to add - Joey for Reddit was my go-to on Android when I left iOS/Apollo. Might be good inspiration, as well; I actually felt that Joey handled somethings much better than Apollo did.

You're not alone. For some reason I could never figure it out.

I love fresh salad, as well. I just seen to crave it in the summer. I like to add goat cheese and sprouts to a traditional salad base.
