I love copyq so much. It's definitely one of the apps I first install in a new deployment. When I hear of the troubles some people go through for not having a clipboard manager, I just smh and think, 'copyq'.

Paris, Texas. Yeah, from the movie.

Several options:

  • Master PDF Editor, version 4 is free (and in AUR);
  • PDF Arranger, good for bulk edits;
  • jPdfTweak, a veritable swiss knife of PDF editing;
  • jPDFBookmarks, the best for editing bookmarks;
  • Briss, for bulk cutting PDFs;
  • Krop, also for cutting, but less flexible.

I had many issues since the upgrade. After getting tired of hunting them down individually, my one-time solution was to nuke my old configs and simply start anew. Fresh home, .config, .local.

I use both htop and btop—depending on the mood. htop is less prettier, but more reliable. But sometimes I want pretty and I go with btop. top is where I draw the line. It's too nerdy for me.

You make a good point worth considering. For all non-USians/non-Chinese out there, all those social media giants are foreign corporations belonging to foreign powers.

The spying part of it is bad for the spying, not for who's doing it.

You're not wrong. Why would you? Either works or not. You said it yourself, it's work-related. The rest you could probably work around them if sufficiently motivated.

Sorry if I mistake your intention. If that's the case, it's just me making a wrong guess.

You're probably misreading this.

I authored THE NAME. If you prefer, I'm the name-giver, the author in this sense.

Linus is the namer and the creator of that kernel.

As creator he is by right allowed to name his creation whatever he likes. Just like me, as the cat 'entity creator as a pet' am allowed to name it whatever I like.

No outsiders input required. You get now what I mean by author?

Whatever your reply may be, let me thank you already for engaging. It's nice to be pressured to explain something in simpler, more accessible terms.

Thanks for the necessary XKCD. First time reading that one.

Well, to be honest, I won't be THAT guy, nor am I crazy to bring back the rotary disk.

Thanks!

And no, I'm not serious. Just reminding that technology, like everything else, changes.

But I loved that project! Made me smile thinking how creative people are.

Maybe you'll like it more under this new guise: I named my cat Goofyball. But since Linnaeus named the species Felis catus, you remind me that my cat's name should ackchyually be Felis catus/Goofyball. To which I reply, very appropriately, 'it's MY cat'. So Goofyball it is.

Understand now the authority argument? Authority in the sense of authorial, having an author.
