@Dave @yodeljunkmanenvy Hmm interesting… I personally tend to think of that as a feature of a notetaking app rather than a text editor. But I see how it could come in handy in a text editor too, sometimes.

@jeeva Thanks! I’ll check it out
@Feeee23 Cool, well, I’m not the greatest expert on Sanderson’s works but I think you could either go on to read the rest of the Mistborn series (books 4-7), which is what I did, or if you’re interested in his epic series, The Stormlight Archive, you could start that after book 3 of Mistborn and then roughly interleave books of Mistborn and Stormlight, which I think I would have slightly preferred in retrospect. If you take the latter approach, I definitely recommend finishing Mistborn books 4-7 before starting book 5 of The Stormlight Archive, because that book references some things introduced in Mistborn. (Even book 4 of Stormlight obliquely mentions a couple things from Mistborn, but that’s not quite so important.)
And no pressure to follow back BTW - I mean, of course you can if you want to, but it’s not expected. 🙂
@Feeee23 Nice, I’m probably gonna add a bunch of these to my list as well. I started and ended this year with Brandon Sanderson and I’m looking for more books enjoyed by people with similar tastes.
(would it be weird if I follow you on The Story Graph?)

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•"This Week in KDE Apps" brings the news that Dolphin gets new looks, and its connectivity to Samba shares improves; Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles, can share photos
2·11 months ago@Alaknar @kde Yep, they mean on Plasma running on a mobile phone, which is not something you can do on either Android or iOS. (Those two are not the only operating systems for smartphones.) See e.g. https://plasma-mobile.org/get/

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Let's make Windows 10 the last version ever used!
1·1 year ago@LordKitsuna @pupbiru Same here. I wouldn’t recommend Mint mostly because I don’t have experience with it, but also, I haven’t heard anything about it that makes me think it’d be a slam-dunk recommendation even if I had used it.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•I created a fork of lightly in an attempt to revive it, now you can install it on plasma 6 hopefully without problems. I'm looking for people who can help me maintain it as a project
7·2 years ago@Bali10050 Incidentally Evan (Boehs - the guy you forked from) is somewhat active on Mastodon, so if you wanted to get in touch with him it probably wouldn’t be hard; he might help point people toward your fork. In case that information is helpful at all.
My capacity to contribute would be extremely limited, but I starred the repo at least, maybe I can chip in a bit at some point in the future.

@Dave @bitterseeds FWIW I use Obsidian for notes but I feel like the way it handles code snippets is one of its weaknesses. Joplin seems marginally better 🤷 but I have not found a proper “code notes” app that I’m happy with.
