Oh that's a neat app! I hadn't heard of it before

Glad you got it going!

How are you trying to install Calibre? Is it via Flatpak? AppImage?

Did you try it from here? https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

I'm guessing that that method won't work with atomic distros. I'm guessing that it's trying to copy files to an immutable spot.

I would try looking for a Flatpak first.

I was going to suggest the portable one as a backup but that's only for Windows :(

If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

"To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period."

Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

I should make a separate post for this, but I find Firefox performance is terrible on all my machines when watching YouTube.

I have a 2013 Macbook Pro running KDE Neon, a PC with a Ryzen 5 3200+Nvidia 3070 running Mint, and a Pixel 8. YouTube plays badly on the first two, stuttering and impossible to seek backwards and forwards. I solved this by running a different browser, where none of those problems exist

On my phone, when I play a video, the video itself is smooth, but I get popping sounds over Bluetooth every few seconds. Problem solved by running Chrome. In the phone case, this started happening a few months ago

How generous of you, Microsoft!

What's the difference between that and STV?

I didn't vote for the PC MPP in my riding, but I 100% support Doug Ford with this

Our newly-elected Premier has unfortunately doubled down on giving cars priority with the mandated removal of bike lanes and building new highways (413), even though their own data says that Toronto with be just as congested a few years after building them.

Oh I forgot to mention the tunnel under the 401, which is a massive boondoggle waiting to happen

 

Hi folks,

I downloaded Aurora (https://getaurora.dev/) the other day with the intention of installing it on my 2013 MacBook Pro.

It wasn't until I got to the install screen when I realized that I have no networking.

I currently have Manjaro installed on this laptop, and I remember having to connect via Bluetooth to my phone to download and the Broadcom BCM4360 drivers.

Is there a good way to bake that into the image prior to installing?

Either that or I can try downloading the driver over Bluetooth again, but then I'll need to use a command to somehow layer it on top of the existing image? (rpm-ostree?)

Sorry if I'm missing some command or documentation, but it is a little more confusing trying out these immutable distros.

Has anyone else out there run into this issue and worked around it?

 

We have a few sites on our intranet at work that I constantly end up searching on Google instead of visiting the site.

If I type in the address bar

https://site.work/customers/12345

it will navigate just fine, but if I just type

site.work/customers/12345

it executes a Google search

Is there any way for me to add a whitelist for a given hostname? I don't want to turn keyword.enabled off.. I only want to turn it off for one site.

 

Since I've abandoned Reddit, I find myself looking for content similar to what I was subscribed to on there.

This looks to be the most active of the Lemmy transplants, so it looks like I'll do my lurking here instead on some other Lemmy community.

As much as a shitshow it's turning out to be over there, I am thankful for Reddit and for having had /r/atheism as a default sub, otherwise it would have taken me a little longer to become atheist
