The Defense Ministry had previously assured conscripts they would not be sent to the front in Ukraine as they cannot legally be deployed to fight outside Russia.

Easy: simply declare that the sovereign nation you seek to eliminate has always been part of your empire. Now it's no longer 'outside Russia'. Conscripts hate this one trick.

Didn't even know that this existed. Will have to try. Thumbs up for using mark up which makes it easy to export/import notes.

Ich schau alle Tage mal bei der deutschen und auch internationalen Presseschau:

https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/presseschauen-100.html

Spart viel Zeit, man bekommt einen kurzen Überblick über die meist diskutierten Themen und man kann es sich auch anhören statt selber zu lesen.

You can also use Syncthing to keep your notes synchronized across multiple devices. Syncthing is an app that does just that (keep files synchronized in the background).

Forkyz let's you download and solve crossword puzzles.

It comes with an inbuilt list of sources for different languages but you can also manually add new ones. Many newspapers publish crosswords daily or weekly for free so there's plenty of options.

There are separate options for shuffling songs and categories (albums, artists, folders, genre, etc) and you can toggle them independently of each other.

It should be offered as an option really.

One caveat is that you need to think ahead about how much space you want to assign to each partition. You could end up with your /home/ partition being full while the system partition still has plenty. Or vice versa. You can manually readjust the boundaries but it requires some understanding and can't be done on the fly by a non-technical user. By contrast if everything's stored on the same partition you never have to worry about this.

You can, by the way, manually recreate this set up even after the initial set up although it will require lots of free space to shuffle around files (or some external storage to temporarily hold them). Basically what you do is create a new empty partition, copy all your /home/stuff there and then configure your system to always mount that partition as the /home/ directory when it boots. Files are just files after all and the operating system doesn't really care where they come from as long as the content is correct. Once you got it working you can delete the originals and free up the space to be used otherwise.

Typically your personal files and app settings are stored somewhere in your user home folder, eg under /home/bob/. Ideally you've set up your system in a way so that the entire /home/ folder is stored on its own disk or partition at least. That let's you boot up a different distro while using the same home directory. But even if you haven't set it up separately from the rest of the system, you can still manually copy all those files.

Not every single application setting is transferable between distros as they sometimes use different versions but generally it works well. Many apps also let you manually export profiles or settings and reimport them elsewhere later. Or they have online synchronization baked in.

Es lohnt sich zu lernen, wie man die Kommandozeile nutzt. Bei Linux ist die Grundidee, diese nicht vor dem Nutzer zu verstecken, sondern bewusst als mächtiges Werkzeug zugänglich zu machen und einzubinden. Als Einsteiger kommst du zum Glück heutzutage auch ganz gut ohne klar, aber viele der inneren Feineinstellungen von Linux lassen sich am besten darüber regeln und gerade wenn du online nach Hilfe suchst wirst du oft auf Befehle stoßen, die du in ein Terminal eingeben musst. Das ist ein bisschen so, wie man in Windows früher oder später auf die Registry stößt, wenn man Dinge verändern möchte.

Es gibt da ein tolles (und kostenloses) E-Buch von William Schott dazu, dass den Umgang anschaulich lehrt:

http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

Damit wirst du Schritt für Schritt herangeführt und lernst auch nebenbei etwas über den Grundaufbau von Linux. Gerade am Anfang hat es mir sehr geholfen, einfache Aufgaben gleichzeitig vergleichend mit einem grafischen Programm und auf der Kommandozeile auszuführen. Also zB das Kopieren einer Datei von A nach B.

Ich empfehle dir auch explainshell.com. Dort kannst du einen Befehl reinkopieren und sie Seite zerlegt ihn in seine Bestandteile und erklärt dir was sie jeweils bewirken.

Anfangs auf jeden Fall ein dual boot setup beibehalten! Lieber Schritt für Schritt über viele Monate den Wechsel machen als plötzlich überfordert und frustriert zu sein und dann nicht mehr zurück zu können.

Search results being polluted by llm content is so annoying. As if all the SEO didn't do enough already to bring down overall web quality.

Recently I was searching for some technical guidance on how to do a particular thingy with the IPython coding framework and found just the right page. Except when I tried to run the examples, nothing worked because it was all made up! The entire site/domain was a collection of machine generated answers made to look like blog posts to common programming questions (which they probably scraped from some site with real human collaboration).

I can't even.

 

Markup let's you label a link which is really nice for readability but can also be used to trick people into opening a different site from what they are shown. For example the link below suggests it takes you to a Mastodon instance but if you blindly tap it it will take you somewhere else:

https://mastodon.social/explore

Is there a quick and convenient way to check the actual URL behind a link? I know that it's possible to show a post as plain markup but in longer posts with potentially multiple links it's cumbersome to correlate what is what.

Ideally long tapping a link should show you the actual URL or alternatively you always get a small confirmation pop up with a simple tap (that's how it worked on RIF for instance).

Just sanity checking if I'm missing anything, else I might submit a feature request.

Edit: looks like this was added in a recent update. Get the newest version and it will let you long press a link to get an options menu.
