Countries with cans / plastic bottles deposits systems (Pfand)
  • Sounds like it is designed to make it difficult and cumbersome… which is the opposite of what you'd hope for a wide adoption of practice.

    Countries with cans / plastic bottles deposits systems (Pfand)
  • I always wonder why there are no pan-Europe deposit systems in place, or at least some sort of recognition across the countries.

    Imagine you travel from one country to another, you grab a bottle of water for your trip, and then you are supposed to return that bottle only in the country where you originally got it.

    Or you not only miss your deposit—sometimes you can't even throw plastic bottles to recycling collection points just because the plastic bottle you got doesn't have their local sign/icon printed on the packaging.

    Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?
  • Any key at the corner. Usually arrow right. It doesn't mess up my password during the time it is waking up where I'm unsure if it is missing one or two characters. Sometimes also [ or control or fn or even backspace depending which keyboard I'm using.

    Alternate methods to get a screenshot
  • Sometimes you can set double tapping at the phone’s back to take a screenshot. At least it works on Pixel phones, I know.

    Any app suggestions for expenditure tracking for splitting travel payments?
  • Really appreciate your elaborate sharing! I tried installing Splitwise but it seems to require a subscription to use or only allow me to add a few entries. I don't think I would be using it frequently enough to afford a subscription so I guess I will try out other alternatives suggested here.

    Thanks though!

    Any app suggestions for expenditure tracking for splitting travel payments?
  • Thanks! I installed Splitwise and it seems to require a subscription to run? I think I'll just be using it for a trip or maybe two so subscription for it is a bit too much.

  • I’m thinking of logging travel expenditures with a group of people, where different ones can pay bills for the group (or maybe part of the group). It would be the best if you can see how much the group or a person spent, how much you need to pay whom back at the end of a trip.

    Bonus if it is FOSS.

    Bonus as well if it supports different currencies but if you can log just numerical values and create multiple tracks of record, it is also fine.

    Thanks!

    Warum Deutschland für internationale Fachkräfte so unattraktiv ist
  • Und so?

    Wenn Deutschland begreift, dass es internationale Fachkräfte mehr braucht als die internationale Fachkräfte die deutsche Sprache, würde sich die Situation vielleicht langsam ändern.

    Post to test here. Tapping on the link roadmap for lemmy-ui-next in the post leads to Page Not Found.

    Do you use your right shift key? Have you re-mapped it into another key/function? which one?
  • I really had to think hard and I guess I seldom use it. I touch-type but somehow my body has learnt to use only the left hand for almost all the modifier keys no matter how many keys I have to press there. It's actually a good idea that I only realise now that I should map that right shift for something else.

    Skiff has been acquired by notion, is shutting down
  • I tried their email out for some time and was contemplating fully switching over. But somewhat in their email has always felt broken to me. Some days it was the text editor. Other days it was the reader and account thumbnails. Their support was responsive but their engineering really gave the feeling that they didn't care in the past few months.

    I guess that's why. I just wish something in tech isn't just working towards an MVP and then once it is out or sold, goodbye.

    Alternative to Google, they said. It didn't seem so alternative by its way of hitting the graveyard.

    LibreOffice 24.2 Released For This Leading Free Software Office Suite
  • I actually prefer it that way. With tabbed Ribbons (Is it how they're called?), I constantly have to look over and over again which tab the thing I need is located, ending up in question why X is put here but not there.

  • It would be great to be able to search by keywords amongst the comments in a post. Right now there is the function to navigate from comment thread to comment thread on a post. I could picture the search can also be triggered by the floating action button similarly.

    As title. Currently, when I go to Saved, only saved posts are displayed. The search function there does not seem to be limited to just saved posts (or even including saved comments). I would like to see the comment I saved and search/filter them.

    Thanks for any tips.

    As title. I cannot really find where in settings I could configure that. For instance, now when I tap on Home on the bottom navigation bar or when I quit the app and reopens it again, I always land on All Communities. I would like to customise it to have Subscribed Communities shown by default.

    Thanks for any hints or help.
