My cell phone is my daily driver and I'm a pretty extensive user of an external keyboard.

One thing that would make a big difference to my UX is being able to page down with the tap of the spacebar (if I'm not editing text).

Am I triggering a gesture by accident?

EDIT: Oh, I see... the upvote count right next to ¨Comments" also counts as an upvote button.

Hi, y'all. Running Linux Mint and I have the puzzle presented above.

From what I gather, I'm using rename (1p) which makes mention of Perl and in the man page it says it will also run as file-rename. I'm not sure if this is the right rename utility for the common argument

s/old_pattern/new_pattern/

but any time I try to run anything (including -n), I just get an angle bracket > and have to ctrl-c out.

I'd also need some details on how the wildcards work, which seems to be lacking in the documentation.

Edit: Instructions unclear. I have a bunch of episodes that are very wordy. I'm moving them onto DVD and truncated on my player the directory will look like:

Star Trek The Next Gene....
Star Trek The Next Gene....
Star Trek The Next Gene....
Star Trek The Next Gene....
Star Trek The Next Gene....

so I want to take (sample episode)

Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 Episode 1 - Encounter at Far Point

and

• Replace 'Star Trek The Next Generation Season ' with 'S0'

• Replace 'Episode ' with 'E0' or 'E' depending on digits

• Keep episode title as is.

So it looks like

S01E01 - Encounter at Farpoint.mkv

In retrospect, it did give me time to find the more color-appropriate blue marker.

I just jail broke my kindle and have a few epubs and thought maybe this would be a good time to change my approach to vocabulary.

What I'd like to do is learn the vocabulary for my reading before I read it, instead of after, or as I'm reading it.

My dream piece of software would do the following:

1. resolve all words down to their most basic form (ie, singular for nouns, infinitive for verbs, etc.) (My Language is French)

2. count occurences of each word

3. Filter out words I already know

4. Define the words with a bilingual dictionary to english, including original context sentence.

5. Make anki cards for me to study.

(6) God-tier programming: also include idiomatic expressions as vocabulary)

Does this exist?

Edit: Or help me assemble a pipe to get all these tasks done separately.

Is there an orientation manual for Lemmy? Honestly, Lemmy isn't even the first DDG result for Lemmy (the first result is the Motorhead founder).

What I really want to know is how to pull in forums from other servers because I'm used to a very curated firehouse of content from Reddit and Lemmy so far seems more about making do with what conversation and audience are available. I found a page from 3 years ago describing a somehwat programmery process to do so....

Also, is there a place to find similar reddit subs? My favorite sub on reddit was the subreddit NOT about literally fucking cars but about the importance of micromobility in a car-dominated landscape. Also: cats who look like Ron Perlman.

I'm interested in reading Borges. My spanish is good enough for conversation & podcasts, but in my experience, literature often requires an additional vocabulary that I, as an only occasional reader, will gain at high cost but benefit from little.

So the question is: is it better to read a translation that maybe mimics the lexical richness of the original in a different language, or is it better to read a simplified version in the native language? I don't mind grammatical complexity--which can be applied in conversation--it's mostly the vocabulary that's the problem.

Assume an actually advanced book that can be simplified.

Edit: Or maybe an e-reader with the original text and a built-in dictionary would be best? I just jailbroke my kindle.

I'm on day one of my third temp 7-day sitewide reddit ban this past year. Before that, I was a daily participator on reddit for over 10 years with no site-wide actions.

I thought it might be fun to share the story of my bans. Feel free to share yours.

The first one was for summarizing Bill Maher's views on fat women, old women, and transgendered people. This was understandably determined to be hate speech by the AI, but was upheld by human appeal.

The second one, I don't even remember clearly. I think I may have been criticizing Zionism on somewhere, probably a popular news subreddit. One thing you have to keep in mind is they delete the offending comment and so you have to guess at what your offense might be; then you only have 250 characters to defend yourself. The ban was done by AI. About five days after my seven-day ban ended, I got the notification: Your ban has been overturned. Thanks!

The third one just happened, so it's fresh in my memory. I wanted to talk about something I found crazy on one of my favorite TV shows: a black woman, mother of two black children and wife of a black man, who was in her 30s living the United States had her FIRST social justice epiphany--and it was about press freedoms in Guatamela. The post was shadowbanned. I commented on another thread, warning a user that the mods would come along soon to shadowban any comments on race. Both our comments were shadowbanned, and thereafter, I was perma-shadowbanned on that sub--any comment I made was immediately sent to the shadow realm.

I looked for discussion about the show's treatment of race (which would be interesting since the show did not--as the subreddit does--ignore the issue entirely) and found nothing more recent than 14 years ago. The sub had been wiped clean of any discussion of race on the show.

I wrote the mods and asked them to either a) lift my shadow ban or b) ban me permanently.

To make things easier for them, I also called them racist cowards. An hour later, I received my temp ban for bullying and harrassment.

My appeal simply laid out the facts: they objectively demonstrated both cowardice (by shadowbanning) and racism (for shadowbanning discussion on race) therefore it is not bullying to call them racist cowards. Any conversation forum that shadowbans members for conversing is obviously lost, and then further sitewide bans them for complaining, is clearly lost.
