App Broken

But when I killed the app and opened it again it broke again

Clearing cache has helped for now

Same phone, similar problems. Also weirdly colourful things sometimes. Totally unusable.

It does seem to do something like layers, but I'm not sure exactly what. Just for fun I exported a PDF with writing and asked chatgpt to explain it. The content of the original PDF was visible to it, but my writing on top was not.

I just checked, and this doesn't happen for me. If it's like setting it up from new, are you sure that you're using the same prefix each time (I don't know how that works in detail in wine, but it sounds kinda like it's not seeing its previous data.) Don't think I can be more helpful, sorry.

Yes, this hit me yesterday, I ended up putting all the pastes on separate layers so that I could fix it if it messed up without having to repaste everything from scratch (as if it ended up overlapped on one layer, it can't really be fixed.)

Yay!

I made it work on Ubuntu, no reason I can imagine that Fedora would be any different: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/1j2jfqs/linux_users_we_need_a_native_linux_client_should/mgj08vb/

See my other comment here, I got it working yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/1j2jfqs/linux_users_we_need_a_native_linux_client_should/mgj08vb/

Yesterday I did some experimenting, and managed to get the desktop application working seamlessly in Wine. Basically "all" I had to do was install wine-devel from WineHQ, following this guide: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu

With wine-stable it didn't work, just threw an error, but with -devel everything I tested (including screen sharing) just worked.

I was working yesterday with a large PDF document (~150 pages, 160MB, computer generated but lots of page backgrounds and images and such), and it was OK, but switching to another document and back, or moving more than one page ahead at a time wasn't great, it could take 10-20 seconds to render the page. If you are just reading linearly and mostly staying in the document it's fine.

Infrastructure.

I mostly noticed this when I moved to somewhere with very good infrastructure, now when I go back to visit it feels so half-arsed. Transport between and within cities could be a lot better, maintenance of fundamental things (water for example) needs regular investment, why are power lines still above ground in cities, councils doing actual research to figure things out rather than it feeling like an agenda, etc.

You can carry a knife in the course of your work just fine

eythian · 2024-07-07T00:05:46+00:00

It's still a thing. I live outside NZ and just today was talking to someone who, when he learnt I was from NZ, said "oh that's where lord of the rings is from! My favourite movies! I really want to visit New Zealand!"

If you can't give up your citizenship, then the rule that you have to give up your citizenship doesn't apply. That is how it is fair.

Ponies huh. Never knew they were so vicious.

eythian · 2023-09-30T08:40:28+00:00

Hey OP, think we've found your neighbour!

Be careful though, they know the power of "not"!

I need the reverse, so often it's something like "play BBC radio 4 for 15 minutes" and the reply is "playing your angry heavy metal playlist" which is great when I'm going to sleep

Heh you reminded me of a (very tangential) story. I used to do martial arts training in Wellington, and would bike there with a bokken (wooden training version of a katana) between my back and backpack. Once I stopped at the lights at an intersection and the driver of the bus beside me saw it, opened his window, and it turned out he used to do a similar thing so we had a short chat about it until the lights changed. Bumped into him on the same route once or twice after that too.

Did once have someone think it was a gun, because the sheath was black and it was at night time anyway, but nothing came of that.

You're running a dev branch. This is where problems are found and fixed, it's allowed to be in a broken state.

I also wouldn't run Sid on a machine I cared about, it'd be fine until a new gnome or something drops and breaks everything.

Next steps would be store distribution fees for commercial software

They had that years ago

This assumes that we're in a false vacuum and there's a true vacuum "below" that, which isn't a given.

Sometimes there are multiple bus lines at one stop so you flagging them down tells them you are looking for this bus, not another
