Fam, the TLDR I'm hearing isn't "wish my folks made healthier life choices and hadn't conceived me in such a specifically shameful manner that affects my life", but "I wish I was never born, DAE feel this way?"

My answer is that, this seems deeper than what lemmy can offer, it's worth talking to a therapist about, and I hope you can find a way forward for you.

Nah, but what gave you that impression?

Onion worthy

Tomodachi Game, the whole way, with "how will our protagonist(s) overcome it this time?" and "THERE'S A PLOT TWIST COMING, BUT I still don't know what it IIIIISSS" and no one is safe.

I think it just finished this month? Binge to your heart's content.

Second this, just get some thumbstick covers. I have the 8bitdo pro, and I'm getting tired of the joysticks peeling off onto the rest of the controller after a game.

I haven't had drift on them yet, but if/when I need to replace Old Reliable, I'm looking for hall effect joysticks.

Edit: damn, just found out the pro2 has hall effect joysticks

Which one(s) have you got? Do you like them?

PROFESSOR HELPER HERE! READY TO HELP!

I can see future archeologists (god forbid, Ai archeologists) digging up old posts like this and going, "tf, this was upvoted? Interjecting with too much tangential information? The tone came off rude though?" and not get the reference if they weren't versed in linux community culture already

Yes to all. Just want to know what I can use the side crank for?

Samesies. I had a huge nexus 6p back in the day, and I miss scrolling by swiping the rear fingerprint sensor.

TLDR, scroll down to the script. Make a .sh file, allow it to run as a program, set it as your default program to open whatever filetype

Navigate to the appropriate/your favorite folder to store portable applications. Make the below script as a new file called WhateverYouWant.sh
Fellow newbies, the .sh is important.
Then set this .sh file's permissions to allow executing this file as a Program; may differ by distro.

#!/bin/bash

# Script to set a windows application (that runs through WINE) as the default to open PDF files:

# PURPOSE: To convert Linux-style filename to Windows-style
# to pass as an argument to wine when starting PDF XChange Viewer
Filename="z:"${1//\//\\}

# Assuming you use the default installation folder for PDF
# XChange Viewer in Wine
App='eval wine "C:\Program Files\Filepath\To\Your\PDFXEdit.exe" "'$Filename'"'
$App

You can also check the appropriate windows-formatted filepath with Winetricks, using its built in windows File Explorer, finding your .exe, and copying the path starting from "C:".
[Edit: the default install folder in the script would normally be C:\Program Files, my bad. I downloaded the portable version and shoved it wherever, so my filepath looks like "C:\users\Froggy\Documents\PDFXchange test01\PDFXEdit.exe"]

Mint Cinnamon 21:

• right click your shell script file, Properties > Permissions > check on "Allow executing file as program".
• Then find a PDF file (or whatever filetype), right click, Open With > 'Other Application...' > browse for this .sh file you just made.
• After selecting this .sh file, be sure to select "Set as default" before clicking OK.

I could not tell you for the life of me why this didn't work with a .desktop file on Mint 21.

I spent the past few hours down the wrong rabbit holes with .desktop and exec=wine 'filepaths' and just about died of asphyxiation from absolutely nothing happening. I've been wanting to do the same thing too for a while, but decided that right before bedtime was the perfect time to look it up.
[Edit: I figured out spacing in the script. Also moved the Mint specific instructions down the comment for flow clarity]

"I never learned or thought about how long my trash will actually insist on existing and polluting my environment. I'm completely ignorant of how incredibly slowly plastic decomposes and how toxic it is for plastic to leach into the lowest parts of the food chain and concentrate on its way up."

"AFAIK, because the earth will take care of it somehow - everything turns into dirt when you leave it in the dirt long enough, right?"

"I'm just sooo ignorant, plastic will just break back up into little plastic fibers and the ocean can recycle it for us, like tree bark or w/e, right?"

That's my best, but still invalid, justification. What do I win
