You don't need a PDF editor to create PDF's, you can print to PDF in any program that can print, including LibreOffice Writer.
My how our education system has utterly failed the last two or three generations. Personal finances used to be taught in High School economics, including how to track spending. With the tap, swipe and scan payments we have these days, few people even keep a record of their spending other than perhaps the account balance. I use a checkbook program and spreadsheet together to keep track of where my money goes, and reconcile it with my bank statement every month to be sure everything adds up. This does mean I have to get paper receipts when I can't get a digital one, but living your life means you can't just float around through life expecting the apps and electronics to keep you on track, you have to do some work.
That one paragraph is a bit short on information, and I have no idea what this Free Radical Zone is all about. Did the boss "quickly cave", or did he agree that they shouldn't be trekking through below zero weather to get to work? I'd also like to know the type of business.
They have the .deb at the top of their download page, no need to install the PPA repository if you don't want. You can't get any more than "just downloading and double clicking an exe deb" than that on Ubuntu.
I will admit though, I wish there were an easier way to install PPAs.
The problem with meat is not that we eat it, but that we eat too much of it. Most people eat a week's worth of meat in a single day, and that results in the over production of meat, which is helping to destroy the environment.
You can't simply go with the manufacturing emissions, you have to look at the entire life cycle of the vehicles in question.
You realize your computer won't work without scripts, don't you? And if you want your computer to do something it doesn't do on its own, a simple script will make it do what you want. If that is your definition of sucking, then you need to go back to Windows, which is also loaded with scripts, by the way, so that sucks too.
I'm marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I'll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn't get around to it, so it's my christmas eave dinner tonight.
I think AppImages suck as well, but this is not a reason for my dislike. A simple script that you can run on startup will fix that problem.
KDE Connect. It does much more than just let you transfer files back and forth.
Maybe take it up with his boss? I really can't see the restaurant caring one way or another, as long as the shift is covered by someone qualified to do the job.
BBSes were pre-public internet, not part of the internet. The connected ones were a separate network in and of themselves. I ran a WWIV BBS in the late 80s to early 90s that had its own networking system allowing communication, and even file sharing between instances. It was pretty sophisticated for the time, but hella slow over my 14.4k modem.
WWIV did migrate to using the internet for connection, and maybe others did as well. Perhaps that's what you were considering with this comment?
Very little moderation and yet people behaved themselves, though of course the number of non-tech people on the net were far lesser as well so that certainly had something to do with it.
I remember the pre-AOL Internet, and what happened when AOL opened the gates to the masses. That was the day the civil internet died, and soon after the commercial internet devoured it, forever changing the way people can scam, deceive and show hate towards each other.
If some company or the government wants to charge me 3% to 10% or more to electronically pay, I'm writing them a check.
I moved to Reddit when Digg destroyed itself. It wasn't too hard to make the switch, although it did take a bit of getting used to. I imagine it'll be the same this time, or maybe a bit easier, as the format of lemmy.ml is not too different in appearance from Reddit.
