I think it’s an ongoing thing with Google blocking Invidious and them then finding away around Google back and forth. Probably depends on the instance and how much hassle whoever runs it wants to deal with.

Lately I’ve found that, https://inv.nadeko.net/, works decently.

Again, kind of fiddly if you’re looking for a pick up and play option but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you're cool with Invidious you can use instances via the Yattee app. (Not sure if it's available in every territory though.)

“It's tempting to say we're stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…

Yes, we are and it’s shit for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.

“but in fact, we're being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we've always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”

Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the fucking claim.

Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.

No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.

The ability to filter comments actively as you mark them off as completed is magnificent.

You mark a comment, it hides itself. Neat and tidy, fantastic.

Why doesn’t Adobe do this, you ask? Who the fuck knows. Especially since you used to be able to in Acrobat.

Why? Were people complaining it was too helpful?

[–] ThePJN@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.

Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.

Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn't made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try...

Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.

It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.

Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.

I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?

Isn’t that just mid-poop James Garner?

 

This apparently isn’t an issue that a lot of users run into at least according to the ranting I’ve done elsewhere on the internet. I’ll try explaining this as best as I can.

Skip down to the TL;DR if you’re good sans explaining.

In previous versions of Acrobat Pro (eg: 9) it was possible to set a filter for the comments in a document (eg: Status = None) and then as you are going through and marking the comments as "Completed" the list of comments would automatically hide the completed comments for you.

The current version (and last few versions) of Acrobat Pro (or DC as they call it now). Do not filter live as you change the status of a comment. You have to clear the filter and reapply it if you want to hide markup you’ve already dealt with.

This is extremely annoying when you’ve got hundreds of comments to go through. Once again I refuse to believe that I’m the only one in graphic design or desktop publishing who could benefit from having this feature.

TL;DR: Is there a good none-Adobe PDF reader/marker that will let me see comments and live filter them (hide them) based on a change in status from “None” to “Completed”.

 
 

I’ve tried looking this up a few different ways but I’m not sure if I’m phrasing it correctly enough for the search engine robots to understand.

Figured I’d try asking here. There’s a mod or two for GTAV and Minecraft that afflicts the player with random stuff happening at set time intervals (eg; raining chickens, randomize armor, remove inventory, teleport all mobs to player, etc).

A few of these mods have integration with Twitch where chat can vote on which effect to give to the player next.

I was trying to find a version of a mod like that but that allows another single person (another player, server op or just with a specific Twitch username or something) to be in charge of the random effects rather than chat.

Wondering if anyone knows of any mods that let you do that?

 

Been using “Whisk” for a while but they were bought by Samsung and have been slowly going down hill. Any good iOS apps for recipes? I hear good things about Paprika but not sure if it’s worth it…

UPDATE: Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
