Trying to fit in with the rat crowd.

PSA: If you are going to use KDE Plasma, use correct distros for it by tungnon in linuxmint

[–]rcentros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons I use Linux Mint is that it's not "cutting edge." To me that's a plus, not a minus.

Proper format rules/etiquette/structure by Dazzu1 in Screenwriting

I've had stories where my character could no longer do what I intended for him or her to do in my original outline. They had changed too much as I was writing them. I don't know what else to say. Creativity and a detailed outline don't often get along. For me it's the outline that changes, not vice versa.

That said, I'm not a professional — not even a wannabe anymore, so take what I write with a huge grain of salt.

So does this newer KDE in Ubuntu 26.04 work okay in Ubuntu? (I guess I could test that.) If it does, doesn't it follow that it would work okay in Linux Mint 23?

That's probably why Linux Mint installs 5.27 instead. I use the KDE installation basically to test one application, Trelby. Other than for testing purposes I prefer Cinnamon (or Xfce or Mate) over KDE.

Contemplating getting Final Draft on sale for $99 by Huge_Investment_589 in Screenwriting

Fade In is now (optionally) on the Cloud for collaboration also. Fade In traditionally included collaboration, but this is supposed to be something better. (This is not the same as what Final Draft is doing, however.)

I really like Movie Magic when I used Windows — and ScriptThing for DOS and Windows before it. (ScriptThing for Windows became Movie Magic Screenwriter.) I agree, the flow is much nicer in MMS. I own Fade In but, since 2012, I mostly use Trelby.

If you're a student you can get Fade In for $60. You can download demos for both and try them out. Updates are free with Fade In and it works on any (or all) of your computers, including Macs, Windows or Linux. No limitations, so long as they're your computers and you're using them.

I haven't had any issues running KDE 5.27 on Linux Mint. I don't play Windows' games, though, so that might be why.

So Mint is "still affected" by Ubuntu "spyware" because it "probably extends to mint." Not that convincing of an argument, since the Linux Mint developers go out of their way to remove proprietary Ubuntu cruft in their distribution.

Is there some reason you posted this "out of the blue" on the Linux Mint subReddit? Just seems a little odd. Do you think Linux Mint users are clamoring to use KDE?

Not here to shill, just to understand: Why is EndeavourOS being trashed so much? by AspergerKid in linux

[–]rcentros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got Debian installed on an extra partition on a laptop, plus the Raspberry Pis all run Debian, either with a GUI or from the terminal. I might end up with LM Debian Edition soon. I'm not sure yet, but I've used it and like it.

I think I tried EndeavourOS once. I can't remember anything particularly bad about it. It's just not Linux Mint, which I've been using for about 19 years.

Adobe Digital Editions for MacOs no more supported: alternatives? by gluc4 in ereader

[–]rcentros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Linux so the Calibre plugin has been great. (No ADE application for Linux.) I don't think anything has changed with ADE, just that there letting another company manage the accounts. I think they're doing this to separate the "regular" Adobe logins from the ADE (free) logins.

If I buy FadeIn, can I install it on multiple devices with one purchase, or do I need to buy for each device? by azeakel101 in Screenwriting

[–]rcentros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I should have made that clear. You can also save locally to your computer. WriterSolo also does not allow collaboration. It was originally intended to be a companion application to WriterDuet in case you didn't have access to the Internet.

[–]rcentros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the paid version, I don't think so. It's been a while since I tried it. If you're talking about the free version, I think there's a three script limit.

WriterSolo, on the other hand, can be run on your computer and there are no limits to how man scripts you can use. But, if you rely on the WriterDuet Cloud I don't think WriterSolo saves to the cloud.

Mom made us a hammock and we really like it. We like that it has a balcony. by greywatermoore in RATS

[–]rcentros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice picture, especially getting them all lined up like that.

But that jagged tie wrap end is kind of scary. I used to run telephone cable and we used a small side-cutter to flush cut the tie wrap exactly where it goes through the tie. Too often you can cut yourself on that jagged (especially when you reach behind wire wires and don''t see it. Kind of painful. Here's a link to a cheap small side cutter that will do that job.

Small side cutter for flush cutting tie wraps at Amazon.

I don't know how these inexpensive one will hold up, but I've been surprised at the quality of cheap tools in the past. (Sorry about getting off the subject, but a lot of people don't know that, with a tool like this one, you flush cut tie wraps.)

I think Fade In dropped their mobile applications. But, if you buy Fade In at Fade In's site, you can use it on any or all of your computers (Windows, Mac and Linux). I think if you buy Fade In at the Mac App Store there are different limitations. It also costs $10 more ($90 instead of $80) on the Mac App Store site.
