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?
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.
# 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:
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]
What’s a PPA, and, if it’s alright to ask, which things did you need to downgrade or remove before upgrading mint?
I’m still on mint cinnamon 21, saving up for a beefier drive to back up to before I would upgrade.
Which features do you feel like you’re missing out on?
I have a head canon now about your username origin that you, at least once in your life, had to face a horribly distempered ceiling fan, but just don’t remember it because of the capitation.
Seconding Linux Mint!
I came to linux because I was building a new pc at the time win11 came out, and I saw how much more like apple it looked.
I wasn’t afraid to try linux because I’d already done some easy mods to my steam deck (decky and retropi). Using the steam deck’s computer desktop was almost like using older windows to me; I appreciated that.
Downloading programs was like android to me; using the system’s app store, or sideload an app or a second app store, or follow the dev’s readme.txt. Easy, fun, free, ad-free.
I downloaded different linux distributions to a bunch of spare thumb drives and tried them one at a time. I figured, the moment I had a problem that lasted more than an hour with one distro, I’d move on to the next. If I couldn’t hack it past four tries, I’m going back to windows 10.
Linux Mint was the second attempt, and it’s pretty intuitive to use, imo. It feels like the ease of using android, but with a desktop and my beloved windows-style taskbar.
If I could carry around a Limmings History Buff Fellowship member card with qr code links to sites like these, it’d be just handy dandy for the torturing-friends-and-family part.
I use Netguard to block internet access for half of my apps - the ones that shouldn’t be using my mobile data anyway
Ah, yes, when a man takes inspiration from insect-collecting in his childhood, he becomes the world’s first child psychologist in directing and developing video games

Edit to clarify: you kept making downvoted assumptions in this thread about an existing source on Pokemon creators having targeted the young boys audience. It’s only natural to think you could be misremembering all the articles that came out about Satoshi Tajiri’s inspiration for the OG games coming from bug collecting as a young boy.
I definitely feel like saying it again - it works! Thank you. For sure, I can modify the if statement for what I’m working with. Thank you so much!
To clarify the first, yes to your example, I think so. I’m trying to optimize my scanning process, so, optimally, yes, I would only record all A numeric values in one go, and not come back to them again for the rest of the list. Good question; I never thought about this as a complication. So, I have shelves among shelves with a strict naming convention and containers with a different naming convention. I’m figuring out how to help me and my family be lazier and just capture the shelf name, then all the stuff there, then move on to the next place.
To clarify the second concern, yeah, I meant to make the comma denote two separate cells. I’m not sure how to make a table on lemmy through the Boost app.
Thanks for checking. I asked ChatGPT3.5 to make a solution with excel since I have limited access to it at work. CG came up with making my data a table with Power Query & using a Fill tool, but Fill>Down isn’t doing what CG is saying it’s supposed to do.
I hope I could do this at home though because I only have Onlyoffice & Libreoffice, & excel in the browser is so limited.
Thank you for the archive .org one. I hadn’t seen a direct response to the old reddit post, and the archive .org post really broke it down for me
What’s native call recording? Like call recording with the default phone app?
I use ACR Phone by “NLL APPS” in the play store. They have you download their app store to download their ACR Helper app to run in the background, which allows the recording. But the quality of the other end’s sound is based on your in-call volume. So after the call starts, I have to ensure the volume is turned all the way up. It doesn’t have to be on speaker.
I haven’t needed to root, or else I’d have trouble getting on certain mobile games that check my phone for root.
