Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
  • Just a few, mostly prominent people from the OpenStreetMap community that I recognize by their username/profile picture.

    Sometimes I also tend to see my instance admin sometimes, but it's more rare.

  • Standard Notes Premium
  • Yeah, I subscribed during a black friday promotion so it comes out to around $5/month (higher tier). I am considering looking at alternatives though, as it still feels like stuff is half baked and I want something better.

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • Yeah, the official way from what I understand is basically a container running inside a VM (with multiple containers behind a flag). They run Debian, but I believe there are tutorials for other OS's if you want to try.

    I've also heard of people who just replace chromeos with a Linux install, but I think that puts you at more risk of bricking your device.

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • Not sure if it counts, but I'll share it anyways.

    I use a chromebook which has two Linux containers running on it. One of them I'm experimenting with learning Docker and possibly selfhosting some things there. Only running one thing right now, and it seems to be going fine.

    The other container is my main Linux "install", which has all my apps like Inkscape, VSCode, Kdenlive, etc. The container uses a mix of nix, flatpak, and apt for installing things, which I do want to try and consolidtae eventually.

    Probably not the weirdest of them all, but I do think it's pretty cool to run all this on a chromebook.

  • Plan transition timing
  • I believe I found where it's mentioned. It's on one of their blog posts:

    You can purchase an annual direct subscription today at a discounted rate of $30, and we won’t start the clock on your subscription until your bundle access expires.

    The CEO Dave Wiskus has also stated on a Reddit comment that it doesn't start counting until the bundle is over:

    for clarity, the charge is today, but the 12-month plan starts when the bundle access ends.

  • Plan transition timing
  • If I remember correctly, it will charge you immediatly and use it as "credit" to continue your subscription. For example, if you have Curiosity Stream w/ Nebula for a year expiring September 2024, and then unbundle with a yearly subscription, it will charge you immediatly but add it on top of the time you have left. This would mean it would now expire September 2025.

    Though when I unbundled I did it a few days before renewal, so I can't 100% confirm this.

  • What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?
  • It was only in a container on a Chromebook, but I'll share it anyway. One time, I had installed Android Studio but found it mildly annoying that I got a line when using apt about Android Studio and some error on a certain line of this one file. I believe the file was something related to dpkg, and after changing some things within the file, I seemed to have broken apt. Luckily, I had a backup, but it was a few days old, so I had to reinstall some apps.

    ChromeOS 116 is rolling out

    9to5google.com ChromeOS 116 rolling out: New autocorrect, cloud/local Files search, and more

    Google is rolling out ChromeOS 116 with a number of small additions over the coming days. With enhanced Autocorrection that's enabled...

    ChromeOS 116 rolling out: New autocorrect, cloud/local Files search, and more

    Some of the new features are:

    • Files app now seems to work across local files and those on Google Drive
    • Search filters (local or everywhere, time, & and type)
    • "Enhanced autocorrect"
    • OCR for PDFs (wasn't able to get working - unsure why)
    • RGB Keyboard Backlight Control
    • Updates to the setup wizard

    Seems like the only one I would use is the OCR one but I haven't been able to get it working. Maybe it's an accessibility option?
