I see you stalking me. If I don’t respond, I may have a content filter on your instance, or you have been blocked. Sorey!

You could ride on it, but you’d need a cowboy hat.

I imagine you would need a cowboy hat that would also supply oxygen.

Oh boy, those people frustrate me so much. The ones who have a verbal conversation about a topic they’ve never talked about before, like owning a cat, or taking a cruise to Alaska, and then giggle gleefully when they are inundated with cat litter and cruise ship ads wherever they go on the internet.

Some people just don’t care. And that’s actually fine. The ones who do care will try to look after the morons.

I’m all down for using public transportation and electric cars when you pay to fix the infrastructure, have it run 24/7, or buy me an overpriced electric car that doesn’t destroy the earth as well with lithium mining and all the non-renewable resources used to manufacture it. Certainly better than gas.

Although I’d argue the car manufacturer is the one you should be angry with, not the buyer who is limited by availability, a limited public transit system, and price.

I can’t seem to click start on mobile because the language dropped down is poorly positioned. Mobile first, motherfuckers.

I’m on a Mac and I run Linux, and many other operating systems like BeOS/Haiku, Windows 11, OpenSTEP, Mac OS 9…hell I even have a windows 1.0 iso somewhere.

Fun is fun. Don’t gatekeep fun.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option ( www.howtogeek.com )

Ubuntu's popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I've highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

alpine is great if you don't plan to use a gui and just want to set up command line stuff. not all new linux users are looking for a desktop replacement. some just want a server for file sharing or running plex, etc.

Is $1900 too much for a blazing fast laptop with 1TB/24GB that will have support for 10 years?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

It’s a 15” MacBook Air M2. The closest frame.work laptop I could configure was $5 off from what you said, so I think we are going for the same specs.

I love the framework system. If I was going PC that’s absolutely who I’d go with. All those swappable ports?! I’m drooling.

All of my Apple laptops last a long time. I’m still using my 13” 2013 MacBook Air when I go on vacation. It’s so light and small. I’ve had to replace the battery on it, but I think that’s to be expected.

Depends on the enterprise.

Debian (versions 12 and 13), Ubuntu (23.04 and 23.10), and Fedora (37 to 39). Other distributions are probably also impacted.

Their website explains everything. Do you… use Linux?

If you tried it a few years ago, then we have tried different products. Try it again and we can compare.

I like its simplicity, and how light weight it is. It can be customized pretty well—I like all my stuff on top. I also like that it’s a smaller group of people that are pretty focused on improvements and less about politics. They release updates frequently, and listen to user requests. It’s worked out of the box on whatever I put it on, unlike some other distros (note: I use the distro, not just the DE)

I’m curious what you dislike about it?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

You should try 10.8, slap Ubuntubudgie.org on a usb and give it a shot. Or way a month or so for 10.9 which supports Wayland. They have a lot of what you mentioned now.

What do you use atm?

There are so many to choose from. It’s a good and bad thing haha

This isn’t a gui solution and probably is way off from your intentions, but you could use pdftk to dump the fillable field name and pdftk again to populate them with an xfdf file.

edit, I got interested:

#!/bin/bash

# Check for required arguments
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <source-pdf> <destination-pdf>"
    exit 1
fi

SOURCE_PDF=$1
DEST_PDF=$2
XFDF_FILE=tmp.xfdf

# Extract form field names
FIELD_NAMES=$(pdftk "$SOURCE_PDF" dump_data_fields | grep "FieldName:" | cut -d ' ' -f2-)

# Start XFDF file
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' > $XFDF_FILE
echo '<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/">' >> $XFDF_FILE
echo '<fields>' >> $XFDF_FILE

# Prompt for user input for each field
for FIELD in $FIELD_NAMES; do
    read -p "$FIELD: " INPUT
    echo "<field name=\"$FIELD\"><value>$INPUT</value></field>" >> $XFDF_FILE
done

# Close XFDF file
echo '</fields>' >> $XFDF_FILE
echo '</xfdf>' >> $XFDF_FILE

# Populate the PDF form
pdftk "$SOURCE_PDF" fill_form $XFDF_FILE output "$DEST_PDF"

# Clean up
rm $XFDF_FILE

echo "PDF form filled and saved as $DEST_PDF"

It’s available for download. And if you want it ad free, you pay for it.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

So what’s the difference between the paid and the free download links?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

So why have two links to the same thing?

I’m watching the project eagerly, but no. I did use BeOS for a time though, to age myself.
